This week marks exactly one year since the COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure of Boston Public Schools including Jamaica Plain’s public schools. Last week schools in Jamaica Plain, like the James Curley K-8, James Hennigan K-8 and Joseph P. Manning Elementary, welcomed back hundreds of students in Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd Grade for hybrid learning. Grades 4 through 8 are scheduled to return to classrooms in Jamaica Plain on Monday and grades 9-12 are due to return the week of March 29 if public health data permits. These students will finally join the high-priority students who have been in school since the fall.
