COVID-19 Monitoring and Quarantine Protocols

Honor Ridge Academy relies on guidance from the CDC and NJDOH, and will continuously monitor the effectiveness of these health and safety practices and make adjustments accordingly.

Parents should be monitoring their child on a daily basis for any evidence of illness/exposure. For those with medically documented chronic illness/allergies, only new symptoms or symptoms worse than baseline should be considered for the exclusion criteria.

PARENTS: Please download and read this flyer on monitoring for COVID-19 symptoms, when to keep your child home, and isolation and quarantining protocols.
