WYCKOFF, NJ — Superintendent Kerry Postma announced in a recent letter that in-person learning in Wyckoff will remain the model "for the foreseeable future."
According to a recent letter, the check-point date for the district to determine if a shift was necessary was Nov. 25.
"At this time, looking ahead at our November 25th checkpoint, we will maintain the current in-person models at our elementary and middle school for the foreseeable future," said Postma. "Because we are constantly monitoring and evaluating the status of COVID-19 in our District, we will not set a specific new checkpoint date, but will communicate with all stakeholders as soon as it is determined that we are able to expand our in-person models, or if any other changes are needed."
