Some students actually returned to in-person learning on September 21, starting with special education students. Pre-K and Kindergarten, along with some students in selected specialized programs returned on September 28.

Gloucester Co. Public Schools says they plan to also transition 4th and 5th graders, plus grades 7 through 11 to in-person learning on November 12, marking the first day of the second quarter.
