Dated March 12, 2020

Please read the Parent Letter from Mr. Markarian, Superintendent of Schools.

Good afternoon,

After much consideration, we will be postponing WAMS Slams originally scheduled for this Friday, March 13.  We are currently looking at dates later in the spring, and will share those details with you once available.  This is a precautionary measure as there are currently zero confirmed cases of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in our community.  We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Regards, 

Mr. A. Torrisi

Acting Principal

William Annin Middle School

Dear Parents,

Message from the Nursing Coordinator BTSD

Attached please find the FACTS about Novel Coronavirus produced by the Bernards Township Health Department and district nurses. Please be assured that the district administration and school nurses are having regular communication with our district physician and the Bernards Township Health Officer. We are planning and preparing. Please look for continued communication in the Friday Folders and in the Superintendent’s SOS.

Also attached is the Child Sickness Guidelines from the Bernards Township School District. Please keep you children home if they are sick. And remind them to wash their hands, cover their sneezes and coughs, get plenty of sleep and eat healthy. Those are good reminders for us all.

Sincerely,

WAMS PTO/Bernards Township School District
