HOBOKEN, NJ — Students at two Hoboken Public Schools will be all remote for the next number of weeks. Specifically, Wallace Elementary School will learn remotely until Nov. 9 after district officials informed parents recently of two positive cases of the coronavirus at the school.
In the letter obtained by Hoboken Patch, Hoboken Public Schools Superintendent Christine Johnson wrote that the two cases involved individuals who were in school, without absence, over the past week. School officials decided to shift to remote learning until Nov. 9 after conducting contact tracing and notifying people who were in close contact with the infected individuals. The district defines close contact as anyone who was within six feet of the two individuals for more than 10 minutes.
