East Windsor Regional students will be in school for first time since March 2020
East Windsor Regional School District students will be back in the classroom in person – using the hybrid instructional model – beginning Jan. 19, school district officials said.
It will be the first time that students have been in the classroom since March 2020, when Gov. Phil Murphy closed school buildings to students and staff in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
East Windsor Regional School District students, who have been learning remotely since March, had been set to begin hybrid learning in November. The hybrid model alternates between bringing small groups of students into the classroom for in-person learning part of the week, and having them learn at home remotely for part of the week. School district officials postponed implementing hybrid learning in November because of an uptick in the number of positive tests for COVID-19 in East Windsor Township and Hightstown Borough.
