Maplewood's Schools Gear Up For Re-Opening Of On-Site Learning

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The South Orange-Maplewood School District said on Monday that teachers were being invited into the school buildings on Wednesday to teach virtually from their classrooms to prepare for buildings to re-open next week. Schools have been remote in the district since last March.

This may result in differences in schedules for the rest of the week.

"These modifications will allow time for teachers to reacclimate to their classrooms, learn new procedures and protocols for entering their buildings, test their technology and to begin classroom set-up for returning students," the district said.

"Also, please note, that by the end of the day tomorrow, Tuesday, 1/12, your child’s cohort placement designation letter will be uploaded to your PowerSchool parent portal. As shared in previous communications, if you need help accessing or have forgotten your login information, email: parentportal@somsd.k12.nj.us."

The district also shared hybrid schedules. See the full message here.

The South Orange-Maplewood schools are set to reopen on-site on Jan. 19, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
