Southern Regional Schools Adopt Full Remote Learning Indefinitely

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — The Southern Regional School District will transition to full remote learning instruction beginning Wednesday. The duration of the remote instruction period is undetermined, according to the Monday announcement on the school district's website.

In the announcement, the school district said the learning transition is due to the recent rise in coronavirus cases nationally, locally and on campus, which has affected staffing capacity and reduced student attendance both virtually and in-person.

The Ocean County Vocational Schools will still offer in-person instruction. Southern Regional will provide transportation for vocational students.

Students will be required to log into Google Classroom during their scheduled instructional periods.

More details about the instructional periods and how to receive school meals can be found here.

The Ocean County Health Department has reported 881 cases and 31 coronavirus deaths in Stafford Township since the pandemic began.
