Hazlet Superintendent Talks Quarantine After November Break

HAZLET, NJ — Hazlet Township Schools Superintendent Scott Ridley shared information about which students will and won't have to quarantine after traveling over the November school break.

The protocol will vary depending on whether or not the student is vaccinated and on whether the trip is domestic or international.

Here is the information shared by Ridley:

• Any student who is unvaccinated because of age or choice and travels domestically may return to school, provided he or she is symptomatic-free. It is still recommended that the student get tested prior to his or her return.
• Unvaccinated international student travelers should quarantine for seven days and may return to school with a negative test on day 8.

• Vaccinated students who travel outside of the continental united states do not have to test or quarantine as long as they are not symptomatic.

Ridley said that after over three weeks of school athletic activities are in "full swing," clubs have begun to meet and back-to-school nights have been well attended.

"District-wide our covid cases are down, as we continue to prioritize health and safety for both students and staff," Ridley said. "Our commitment to a return to normalcy is moving forward."
