12-17-2021 Letter to Parents - Guardians and Team Members School No. 8

December 17, 2021

Dear Parents, Guardians and Team Members of iPrep Academy School No. 8,

The Elizabeth Public Schools is committed to providing a safe environment for teaching and learning among students and team members.

The recent surge of cases locally, nationally and statewide is beginning to impact our ability to deliver in-person instruction at iPrep Academy School No. 8. As a result, all students will be required to quarantine for ten days. Students will be in virtual learning effective Monday, December 20th through Thursday, December 23rd and will resume in-person learning on Monday, January 3, 2022.

I am proud of the work that staff members are doing to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our schools as best possible. We continue to follow guidance from the New Jersey Department of Health and the Elizabeth Health Department in evaluating when schools must close and when to quarantine large numbers of students and staff.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership as we continue adapting to the many challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 908-436-6131 or hugelmol@epsnj.org.

Sincerely,

Olga Hugelmeyer
