East Orange School District Home

The Mission of our school is to provide a safe and enriching learning environment where the whole student is nurtured and developed. Our teachers and administrators pledge to support the academic and emotional well being of each and every student.

Dear Parent/Guardian:

 

On Monday, May 9, 2022 the East Orange School District lifted the mask mandate for staff, students, and visitors as it was no longer a requirement to wear face coverings or masks in school buildings or on school buses. However, noting the significant changes and uptick in COVID-19 cases across the state and notably in Essex County, East Orange School District officials met with the local health department to discuss the next steps. 

Based on our conversation, it is recommended that the East Orange School District return to the mask mandate effective Monday, May 23, 2022. Towards that end, every employee, student, parent/guardian, and/or visitor on district grounds, school buses, and/or attending district/school events must wear a mask. The aforementioned is not optional, it is mandated.

 

The East Orange School District will reassess the health and safety of our community prior to June 10, 2022 and will inform you of the recommendation at that time.
