Re: We Need Your Help in Planning our 2020-2021 School Year

Dear Weehawken Township School District Parents and Guardians,

This week, many of you filled out a survey from the New Jersey State Department of Education seeking your input on how to best reopen schools in the fall. Just as it is crucial for New Jersey to have guidance from those who live in the Garden State, it is vital for the Weehawken School District to procure guidance from its community and tailor a reentry plan which meets its unique needs.

To help us make the best decisions for district students, families, community and employees for 2020-2021, we will be distributing its own survey. We need your responses anonymous or not. We will be advised by your perspective, even as we also take to heart CDC recommendations and prevailing scientific and medical data. We will draw on the survey results to see where families stand on matters such as split sessions, social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment in school.

You can find the survey on the Weehawken School District website right now, and for those of you who prefer paper, expect to find the survey in your mailboxes by early next week. Responses should be submitted by 2:00 p.m., June 19. Or you can take a picture of your survey and email us at info@weehawken.k12.nj.us. If you cannot submit this survey electronically, please feel free to drop off a completed paper copy at any school location. You may leave it with the security personnel between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Please wear a mask when you do so. We will share the survey results and any re-entry plans with you in late July or early August.

Even though the 2020-2021 academic year promises to be a challenging one, I know that it will be one that builds on the remarkable perseverance you have all displayed during these difficult months. We have met the challenge of this pandemic head-on, and we will continue to do so

Sincerely,

Eric Crespo
Superintendent of Schools
