What We Know So Far About Glen Rock's School Reopening Plan

GLEN ROCK, NJ — Glen Rock Public Schools will present their school restart plan at a Tuesday meeting, likely confirming facts of the plan that have been released in the past few weeks.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., and will be available to watch via Zoom.

What we know so far is that students in kindergarten through fifth-grade will follow a morning-afternoon schedule, with one cohort attending in-person class in the morning session, and the other in the afternoon.

In grades six through 12, students will attend class on an alternating A and B schedule.

Of the current proposed plan, a few highlights include:

• Students will be required to wear masks, though there may be situations when they could be removed
• All staff will be provided a face shield and required to wear masks
• Staff and students will have their temperature checked prior to entering the building
• Parents will complete a daily questionnaire prior to student arrival through a district-purchased app
• Additional custodial staff will be hired to aid the implementation of intensive cleaning protocols

According to a letter from Superintendent Brett Charleston, parents will be notified on their student's schedule on Aug. 5. It is at that time when parents will also receive a survey asking them to inform the district whether they would be opting out of in-person learning.
