Some Classrooms In North Jersey District Back To Remote Learning Due To COVID: Report

HO-HO-KUS, NJ — Some classrooms at a Bergen County school district went back to remote learning last week because of rising COVID-19 cases, a report said.

The Ho-Ho-Kus Public School superintendent sent two letters to parents last Wednesday, NorthJersey.com reported. The fifth grade and one first grade class were told they would move to remote learning for three days, the report said.

Dr. Diane G. Mardy, the school superintendent, said there was a "significant uptick" of cases in the letter.

Students are required to wear face masks for the week beginning Monday; it is not clear if this is for all grades or just first and fifth grades, the report said.

Bergen County is back at a moderate COVID activity level, according to state health data.
