Linden Public Schools – Students & Staff Return to In-Person Learning

Linden Public Schools remain committed to our plans for all students and staff to return to in-person learning on Tuesday, January 18th. Despite ongoing issues with the pandemic, we feel it is vital for our students to be in a structured and supportive learning environment that can only be achieved through full-day, in-person lessons and face-to-face interaction with their teachers.

Please help us to make sure that everyone is returning to an environment that is as safe as possible by following these guidelines:

  • All students, staff, and visitors to our school buildings must wear a mask at all times to inhibit the spread of the virus.
  • Anyone who is feeling ill, running a fever, or showing any symptoms of COVID-19 should stay home from school.
  • If you are awaiting test results for yourself (or for family members if you are unvaccinated) you should stay home from school.
  • If you are traveling, please monitor your symptoms upon return.

Please refer to our district’s 2021-2022 Reopening Plan for more information.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we strive to balance the health needs of our community with the educational needs of our students.

Carpe diem,

Dr. Marnie Hazelton
Superintendent
