Providing a safe environment is a partnership between parents/guardians and the school district.   Please remind your school communities:

  • To review the Travel Guidelines for Students when traveling out of town.

    • Alert the school nurse about any planned travel to discuss the required post-quarantine guideline, prior to sending student back to school.

  • Use the COVID-19 At Home Screening prior to sending students to school

  • Report to the nurse if student or any household member tests positive for COVID, or if they have an actual or suspected COVID exposure

  • Keep students home when they are sick

  • Promptly pick up students if they become sick at school

    • Friendly reminder: Please mask up when picking up FREE meals/snacks! WE want to keep you & the Aramark team safe & healthy as they hand out meals to 1,000+ cars each Monday while being unable to maintain 6 feet of distance. These are state, Cherry Hill, Aramark & CDC guidelines. 


  • Through the summer of 2021: Any family currently receiving free wifi from the District will automatically keep it through the summer, unless their youngest/only child is a high school senior (Class of 2021).
