Hoboken Schools To Be Remote For Week After Spring Break

HOBOKEN, NJ — Hoboken Schools Superintendent Christine Johnson said Sunday night that the district schools will operate remotely during the week after Spring Break, meaning from Monday, April 12 through that Friday.

Spring break in the Hoboken public schools runs from Friday, April 2, through Friday April 9. See the district calendar here.

After the remote period, students returning to on-site education must get a coronavirus test the weekend before. The district will provide directions.

Several school districts in the area, including Hoboken, went remote for a week or two after winter break. And after Thanksgiving, the district required students to be tested and found 17 positive cases.

Johnson said in a newsletter Sunday, "On Thursday, April 1st our district calendar reflects a 1:00 p.m. dismissal followed by spring break which runs through Friday, April 9th. We will operate one week of remote learning after spring break, from Monday, April 12th through Friday April 16th."

Other North Jersey districts have started to announce remote periods, such as Cranford. (Read more: Cranford Schools To Go Remote For Week After Spring Break.)
