“Historically, our District has invited new students to stop by our schools prior to the start of school to tour the building and meet their teachers,” District Director of Elementary Education Gretchen Gerber said. “Given all of the challenges that have emerged during the pandemic, we thought it was important that we make use of the technology and give not only new students, but all of our elementary students – and just as importantly, our teachers - an opportunity to make an introduction, put a face with a name and make a connection or a re-connection. These connections are so meaningful in building a feeling of familiarity and restoring a sense of community to open the school year. These introductions will be beneficial to students and staff alike, and we encourage our families to hop on and say hello.”
Opening day in the Washington Township Public Schools is Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
