MANASQUAN – Manasquan High School will be closed for in-person instruction and transition to fully remote learning from Thursday through Nov. 25, with an anticipated re-opening on Monday, Nov. 30.

The district is currently investigating the need to suspend other school extracurricular activities, said Superintendent Frank Kasyan.

This decision was made in consultation with the Monmouth County Health Department and the district believes "it is the most appropriate and safest course of action at this time," Kasyan said.

"This temporary closure also aligns with the teacher conference early dismissal days next week and the Thanksgiving holiday, such that we are maximizing our period of quarantine while minimizing our loss of in-person instructional time," said Kasyan.

This affects Manasquan High School only. Manasquan Elementary School will operate normally for in-person instruction as scheduled.

"However, as of this writing, outdoor athletic activities including practices and games will continue as scheduled during the remote learning period unless you are otherwise notified," he said.

During this remote learning period, the high school building itself will be open if students need to retrieve materials, access technical support, etc.
