Not exactly.
While some superintendents say kids deserve a day off of school, remote learning due to the coronavirus pandemic has now given school districts the option of barreling through their work and avoid tacking days onto the end of the year.
In Cherry Hill, where about 4- to 6 inches of snow is expected starting Wednesday afternoon, Superintendent Joseph Meloche on Monday dashed hopes of an early winter break.
“We are expecting our first major snowfall in nearly two years, but because we’re all on remote instruction, do not expect a phone call from Mrs. Wilson, because we will not be having a snow day,” Meloche, who was referring to the district’s public information officer, said in a video posted to Twitter.
