Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope that you and your family are all staying safe and healthy.

The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) has created a committee of professionals, including a representative from non-public schools, to create guidelines for the re-opening of New Jersey schools for the 2020-2021 school year. As part of this process, the NJDOE is collecting information from New Jersey parents through a survey which will reflect opinions and concerns regarding remote learning, the re- opening of schools, safety, and health issues. It is crucial that parents of students in Catholic and other non-public schools have a voice in this process. Below you will find links to the English and Spanish versions of the survey. The last question in the survey allows parents to write additional concerns. When completing this question, please make sure that you write, “my child(ren) attend a nonpublic school.” It would be extremely helpful to also write any concerns that you may have regarding nursing services, transportation, supplemental instruction, compensatory education services, and/or any other concerns specific to your situation. The deadline for completing the survey is Monday, June 8th.
