Here’s What To Know Ahead Of South Brunswick School Reopening

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — The South Brunswick School District is ready to welcome students back on Feb. 1 for in-person learning.

All students that have selected in-person classes are expected to be in school buildings five days a week.

The district said students cannot hop back and forth between virtual and in-person classes. In a letter to the school community, superintendent Scott Feder said it was important for the district to know the exact in-person enrollment, in order to manage all safety regulations.

In case a family needs to change from in-person to virtual, it can be done by sending an email to the school principal with this request. This process is simple and can be implemented in 24 hours.

However, switching to in-person learning requires a longer process.

Parents need to email teacher(s) and the school Principal with the request. Request needs to be processed and approved, which could take 10 school days, depending on circumstances related to safety measures and class sizes.

Upon approval of the request, parents will be provided with a confirmation that incudes start date and any other pertinent information.

Here’s the new class schedule for high school students beginning Feb. 1:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday:

7:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. in-person leaning.

School then moves to virtual learning

Wednesday:

At the board of education meeting held on Jan. 21, Feder said he did not expect any delays in reopening plans.

However, he did say schools will close if there's a non-related COVID transmission.

"If we ever have two separate transmissions that are non-related, then schools will have to be closed for two weeks. Well, that means you close the school and then reopen it up after the required quarantine," he said.
