May 4, 2020
Dear Midland Park School District Families, Faculty, and Community Partners,
As many of you are aware, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced today that all public and private schools in the state will remain closed for the rest of the academic year. In doing so, the Governor said, “This is a difficult decision and I know that many students, parents, and staff would like to be able to return to school. However, I have been unwavering on the message that we need to make decisions based on science, not emotion. And while New Jersey is making great strides in mitigating the spread of COVID-19, science tells us that at this point, we can’t safely re-open our schools.”
While this decision was expected, it nonetheless leaves us disappointed that we are unable to finish the school year together in our schools. The many school events held at this time of year remain under review and we know all will understand we are unable to hold most of them due to the social distancing restrictions in place. During the past few weeks, the administrative team has prioritized the list of events and celebrations and developed plans reflective of a variety of options. Of course, at the forefront of our efforts is high school graduation and assemblies and programs that celebrate the Class of 2020. Please know we have been made aware that further guidance from county and state officials is forthcoming and we will use this information to help determine the most well-informed course of action, one that successfully balances safety and celebration.
As we look ahead to May and June, the district’s distance learning plan remains in force and we again thank our school families for their amazing support of instruction at home. This week begins Teacher Appreciation Week, the annual observance celebrating teachers across our great nation. The miracle of learning is facilitated by the outstanding work of our teachers. Our gratitude for their commitment and professionalism knows no bounds and we simply cannot thank them enough!
For all those impacted by illness and loss of life during this public health crisis, be assured you remain in our thoughts. On behalf of all in our district, please accept my best wishes for safety and health in days to come.
Sincerely,
Dr. Marie C. Cirasella
Superintendent of Schools
