Dear Parents/Guardians,
Following a full week of monitoring and discussions with the Monmouth County Department of Health (MCDOH) and Executive County Superintendent, in an abundance of caution to reduce the spread of COVID-19, we will be extending our pivot to full remote instruction Tuesday, January 18th, through Friday, January 21st, in the hope of returning to in person instruction on Monday, January 24th. The MCDOH will continue to review our school district situation next week to help us determine and confirm we may return to in person instruction.
Students will continue to remotely attend a full day schedule so they should be prepared to log in at 8:20 AM each day next week starting Tuesday morning, January 18th, after the Monday holiday. All in person student activities are canceled.
Parents/guardians may pick up their children’s breakfasts and lunches for the week on Tuesday, January 18th, 8:00 - 10:00 AM or 12:00 - 1:00 PM.
Once again, we recognize and understand that pivoting to remote instruction is an inconvenience and hardship. Therefore, we did not make this decision lightly, but we did make the decision for compelling health and safety reasons to do so. However, we are still here to provide you with the latest guidance from the CDC, MCDOH, and our school district Physician. Please feel welcome to reach out to me, our School Nurse, Mrs. Signorino, or both of us anytime.
In the meantime, if your child or anyone in your home tests positive for COVID-19 or becomes symptomatic, please inform both of us, enjoy the holiday weekend, and we hope you and your families remain safe and well.
Sincerely
Dr. Raymond J. Boccuti

Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope this communication finds you and your families safe and well enjoying the Holiday Season and preparing for the New Year. We look forward to reopening our school district for in person instruction on Monday, January 3, 2022.
As you learn through the news every day, COVID-19 transmission continues to surge with the latest variant of the virus. Therefore, it will be important to maintain all of our health and safety protocols that have assisted in keeping our school district open since September 2020 five days a week with only a few brief pivots to remote instruction.
In preparation for as safe a return as possible on January 3rd, I respectfully request that, if your child has tested positive for COVID-19, and/or if your child has been a close contact to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you email me and our School Nurse, Mrs. Signorino, at our email addresses below. We will be pleased to provide you with confidential guidance on testing, quarantine, and return to school based on the latest recommendations of the CDC, New Jersey Department of Health, and our school district’s Physician.
In the meantime, I hope you and your families remain safe and well.
Sincerely,
Dr. Raymond J. Boccuti
Chief School Administrator, Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we informed you through our emergency notification systems earlier today, in an abundance of caution for health and safety, I decided to pivot our school district to remote instruction (PreK and Kindergarten students work packet instruction) starting on Monday, December 20th, through Thursday, December 23rd which will be a half day for students ending at 12:30 PM.
If your child was absent today, and you did not pick up his/her home instruction materials today, please pick them up from the main office on Monday at 8:00 AM.
For students who receive breakfast and lunch, you may pick up breakfasts and lunches for the week from Maschio’s Food Service in our cafeteria on Monday from 8:00 - 10:00 AM and 12:00 - 1:00 PM.
I was disappointed to have to make this decision because we diligently work with our health and safety protocols to keep our school district open. Following some individual quarantines, escalation to three classroom quarantines, reviewing the absence lists and reasons for absences, consulting with our School Nurse, and consulting with our school district Physician, I made this proactive decision in consideration of maintaining health and safety for all. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out to me and our School Nurse, Mrs. Signorino.
I look forward to welcoming back our students to school on Monday, January 3rd. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy a wonderful Holiday Season followed by the start of a healthy and prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Raymond J. Boccuti

Dear Neptune City School District Stakeholders,
Our school district, and school districts across the nation, are fortunate to be able to apply for grant funding to mitigate losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant fund applications have become available in an ongoing manner and each application opportunity includes restricted allowable usage category requirements for the grant funds if they are awarded. We have applied for every application opportunity and we will be receiving the grant funds we are entitled to receive.
To date, here are the allowable usage categories and how our school district will be utilizing the grant funds:
While we have carefully followed all requirements, there is nothing to preclude us from seeking the input of our stakeholders as a best practice. Therefore, I cordially invite you to send me your input through my email address below. Please be confident that your input will be read, carefully considered, and highly valued for our Neptune City School District family. In the meantime, I hope that you and your families stay safe and well.
Sincerely,
Dr. Raymond J. Boccuti
