Dear Cape May City Elementary School Families,
Today your students will be returning to you with a packet of materials that includes assignments, activities, and lesson plans for the next two weeks during this time of health closure. Teachers will be available via email during virtual office hours that are also included in the packet and will be posted on our website. It is imperative that all the materials and activities are completed as this will ensure that our closure will count towards the required 180 days. If your student is absent today, please come to the Main Office to pick up your child’s materials. The Main Office will be open until 4:00 p.m. which is our close of business. Please be aware that the building will not be open to the public after the close of business today until after we receive guidance to open from the County Department of Health which at this time is Monday, March 30th. Should you have any questions, please contact the Main Office at 609-884-8485. Thank you and wishing all of you the best of health during these uncertain times.
In consultation with the County Health Department, Cape May City Elementary School will be closed effective Tuesday, March 17th. School will be open Monday, March 16th. The duration of this closure is yet to be determined.
