Snow DAY: These Jersey Shore Districts Have No School On Thursday, Others Are 'Remote'

 MIDDLESEX COUNTY:

Monroe Township Public Schools was the first in the region to announce a snow day for Thursday and no classes due to the heavy snowfall.

Here are other Middlesex County school districts that cancelled classes on Thursday: 

  • Milltown
  • Perth Amboy
  • South Amboy
  • South River

And in other Middlesex County school plans:

  • Metuchen (virtual half-day)
  • Carteret (*asynchronous)
  • New Brunswick (virtual half-day)
  • Cranbury (virtual half-day)
  • Greater Brunswick Charter School (*asynchronous)
  • Jamesburg (virtual half-day)
  • Middlesex County Vocational and Technical Schools
  • Sayreville (virtual instruction)
  • Woodbridge (*asynchronous)

*Asynchronous courses take a more non-traditional approach. Students do not “attend” class at a set time, but rather, access pre-recorded lectures and digital curriculum materials and respond through email, discussion boards, social networking, and collaborative documents at a time of their own choosing.

Other school districts warned that even remote instruction might be disrupted if the snowstorm is accompanied by power outages.

This story will be updated as more district announce their plans.
