We cannot wait to welcome your children to the start of another school year!  Please know that our plans align with the Restart and Recovery Plan: The Road Back, Governor Murphy’s executive orders, and NJ Department of Health/CDC recommendations.

SDS Return to School Handbook 2021

We encourage you to help prepare your child by reviewing the attached links and reinforcing the following topics with him/her:

• How to properly wear a mask (covering both the nose and mouth) and how this is important to keep our school community safe and healthy
• What it means to be socially distant (6 feet, in kids terms, is the width of a car or roughly a pool “noodle.”)
• How school might look different this year, as compared to the past 
• How to properly wash his/her hands and its importance
• Managing personal tasks independently (tying shoes, zipping and unzipping coats and buttons, opening snack and drink materials, etc.)

Please Note the New Attendance Procedures:

Parents need to report student absences on our absentee line via email: sdsattendance@hanovertwpschools.org
