Ocean City School District: ‘Be Cautious’ Over Spring Break

OCEAN CITY, NJ — The Ocean City School District is asking students and staff to continue taking public health precautions over spring break.

“As we prepare for a much-needed break, we ask you not to take a break from everything. Please continue following, as a family, those public health precautions designed to protect you and others from COVID-19,” Superintendent Kathleen Taylor said in a letter to the school community.

The district is returning to in-school instruction after spring break ends.

Starting April 12, pre-school students and grades 7-12 will attend school for five days each week. Read more: All Grades In Ocean City Schools Will Return To 5 Days In-Person

Over spring break, Taylor encourages students and staff to follow CDC guidelines and recommendations for quarantines if people intend to travel out of state.

“Please help us finish this school year strong by doing your part to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our community and in our schools. The actions of a few have the potential to affect us all," Taylor said.
