South Orange-Maplewood Schools Go Remote On Monday Due To Snow

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The students of the South-Orange Maplewood public schools will have another remote school day on Monday, the district announced on Sunday — this time due to an impending snowfall of a foot or more.

The district announced, "Due to the anticipated severe weather conditions, tomorrow, Mon., February 1, 2021, will be a District-wide virtual (remote) instruction day for all students/staff. The central office will be closed and staff will work remotely. All in-person activities, food distribution, and transportation services are canceled. We will continue to monitor weather conditions tomorrow and notify families/staff regarding Tuesday, Feb. 2 instruction decisions. Be safe and warm. South Orange & Maplewood School District."

The National Weather Service issued an alert Sunday afternoon predicting 16 to 22 inches of total snowfall from Sunday night through early Tuesday morning in North Jersey.

Students, parents, and teachers are well aware how to do remote learning in Maplewood, as they've only had about a week of hybrid education so far this school year (read more here).
