Tuckerton Elementary School students, teachers, staff administrators and visitors will be wearing masks when school begins Sept. 7. Anyone who has not received a COVID-19 vaccine will be subject to regular – twice a week –  COVID testing at their own doctor’s office, urgent care or other health provider  – not at the school.

“We could not put that on Mrs. Sauer (school nurse) on top of all else that she does,” said Superintendent Janet Gangemi during the Aug. 23 board of education meeting.
