School district to implement five days a week of full-day in-person learning by mid-May
Before the 2020-21 school year comes to a close, Hopewell Valley Regional School District (HVRSD) students and teachers will experience the return of full-day in-person learning for five days a week.
The school district announced the decision in a districtwide message on April 22, as the new schedule is set to begin on May 17. The last day of school for the district is June 17.
The move returns the district to a pre-coronavirus pandemic schedule for all education levels, according to the administration.
Several factors had to come into play for the district to be able to implement the new schedule next month. The first is a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases across Hopewell Valley, then the district staff and parents’ comfort level with how the district has been handling its COVID-19 cases, and a third factor involving the interest level from students and families who have been learning remotely.
