HOLMDEL, NJ - This past week, the Holmdel Village School and the Indian Hill School completed a first for many months during the coronavirus pandemic. They were back to school, full time and in person. Kids and educators got their schools back to learn, and parents got their days back to work. Mother nature even threw in a genuine snow day on Wednesday for many families to enjoy.
State and federal elected and appointed officials concur and strongly favor in-school instruction.
The Holmdel School District spent more than one million dollars to establish a safe teaching environment for students and staff, including installation of cutting edge technologies, careful compliance with CDC and NJ guidelines, and implementation of aggressive cleaning standards.
We were ready to provide an on-site hybrid program in September designed to allow us to gradually move to a full-day program, which we instituted this week for grades PK-6.
Currently more than sixty-five percent of our elementary students are participating in full-day, in-person instruction, which demonstrates significant parental support of our actions.
