Important Update on School Closures from the Superintendent

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The safety, security, and well-being of our students, staff, and community members is always our first priority. While the challenges we face are vast, we will persevere as a school community and support all learners to reach their potential via our current remote learning platform. Thank you to all of our students, parents, staff members, and community members for their efforts in supporting the needs of all learners during this period of school closure.

As you are aware, the Sparta School District shared a message on Friday, 3/13/20 which closed our school district from 3/16/20-3/27/20. Then on 3/16/20 Governor Murphy ordered all schools closed. School districts will remain closed until such time as the Governor allows them to reopen. Remote learning plans will continue to be provided during this period of closure, and all days of instruction via remote learning will count towards the mandated 180-day requirement.

In an effort to provide clear and concise guidance to the members of our school community, please be advised that at this time the Sparta School District will be extending the school closure through 4/9/20. The Sparta School District will maintain our previously scheduled spring break from 4/10/20-4/19/20. All district schools and activities will be cancelled during the period of school closure from 3/23/20-4/19/20.

We will continue to reevaluate and assess the situation based upon current information and directives from Governor Murphy, the New Jersey Department of Education, and the New Jersey Department of Health on a weekly basis. Additional information will be shared with our community as it becomes available.

Thank you for your continued support as we implement remote learning plans for all students. Please reach out to the school with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael A. Rossi, Jr.  
Superintendent 
Sparta Township Public Schools
