HOBOKEN, NJ - As reported by Hoboken Tap In.... Any students seeking to resume onsite learning at Hoboken Public Schools will need to be tested for COVID-19 this weekend.
According to a letter sent to district parents Monday night, students seeking to be enrolled for the period between December 7-23 must be tested no earlier than this coming weekend to ensure they are not carrying the virus.
Superintendent Dr. Christine Johnson stated, "all families that select onsite learning from Monday, December 7th through Wednesday, December 23rd must produce a negative COVID-19 test result for their child from a test taken between Friday, December 4th and Sunday, December 6th."
The Hoboken Public Schools have gone as far as to establish a partnership with Riverside Medical Group to provide Rapid Testing, "at no out-of-pocket cost to all K-12 students of the Hoboken Public School District," at their testing center located at 351 16th Street—provided those students submit to testing at prescribed times:
Friday, December 4th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for Hoboken Middle and High School students (Gr. 6-12)
Saturday, December 5th from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Wallace School students (Preschool Disabilities & Gr. K - 5)
Sunday, December 6th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for Brandt School students (Gr. K - 5)
Sunday, December 6th from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. for Connors School students (Gr. K - 5)
Parents are asked to make their decision on onsite learning for the remainder of 2020 known to the Hoboken Public School District no later than Thursday, December 3.
