It is time to open schools full time NOW. We've been patient while seeing our children's education and emotional well being suffer. We've sat quietly while only the views of those in support of virtual learning were accommodated for every step of the way. We've offered creative ideas and solutions that were shrugged aside. We've spent hard earned money on tutors, learning aids and devices. We've asked for a true assessment of where our students are performing on a state and national average but was returned with excuses. It's a school's job to educate and a family's job to manage matters in the home. It is now time to open. Please join us and show your support.

The feedback I have received from other families confirms that our concerns regarding student performance are shared across the district. I am currently compiling these experiences to present during the upcoming board of education meeting. Thank you for your continued patience as we push for a return to full time instruction.

The momentum behind this petition highlights how many families are now prioritizing the return to full-time classroom instruction. It is clear that the current approach is failing to meet the academic and social requirements of our students. We will continue to advocate for a transition back to normalcy.

My 6th grader is suffering academically w virtual learning. He needs to be in school full time. Parents do currently have a choice on whether to keep their kids in virtual school so allowing students to voluntarily go back full time should not impact those who do not wish to do so.
My son is falling way behind with this current system. They need a full time education, or a deduction or tax write off so we can hire tutors.
Mendham and Chester are open full time - its about time our kids are back in school and off the screen! The schools are not the spreaders and anyone who does not want to send their kids can have their kids home! Give our kids an option to go in!
Hybrid is not working - too many have opted out so the ones who originally wanted to be I found no point in going. Learning is compromised. Kids are isolated.
Our kids need help... teachers are going above and beyond but they can’t force a kid to actually sit in front of the computer...
Please have the courage to state your name or contact me directly. Sincerely Tom Tatem
Open schools now! It’s hurting beyond plain sight and our community is ready.

My seniors in high school want to go back full time. They get frustrated when it is a virtual day and there are two kids physically sitting in class . I also they are not going to be as prepared as they need to be for college in the fall
