Dear Monroe Falcon Families,
Throughout this summer, representatives of our district’s administration, staff members, school nurses, bus drivers, and counselors have spent many hours meeting and planning to ensure that we are ready for a full day reopening of schools for September. We look forward to welcoming back our students in person on September 9, 2021.
In response to the New Jersey Department of Education and New Jersey Department of Health’s guidance document “The Road Forward” (released June 2021), the district has developed a reopening plan to provide for a return to in-person education for the fall 2021. As you read through the Monroe Township School District Reopening Plan, it is important to understand that the document serves to provide a high-level overview of our district’s strategies. The Reopening Plan is a living document that will be modified as health circumstances, guidance, and conditions shift within our communities, the state and nation. Throughout our planning, every effort has been made to ensure the health, wellness, and safety of our students and staff. The plan can be found on the district website: https://www.monroe.k12.nj.us/Page/14920
Every aspect of the plan is flexible and dependent on health conditions. The district will continue to monitor all updates and adjust as needed. This challenge has shown the creativity of educators across the country and here in Monroe Township. As always, we will continue to update information to our district website regarding this topic and all matters related to our school district.
Please join use for our Back-to-School nights at each school. All Back to School night presentations will be held in-person and virtual. We hope you take advantage of this evening to see how our teachers have worked to plan for this school year and to understand the expectations for classes.
I want to take this time to thank every staff member and administrator for their work this summer in preparing for this school year. And thank you to our families for your flexibility and perseverance. Together, we will continue to work through this challenging time. Wising you a successful 2021-2022 school year!
Dr. Alvich
