3ds agoA school
for special education students in Parlin is adapting to changes as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
The New Road School serves
about 100 students from ages 5 to 21 who have learning, language and social
challenges.
It had to close its doors in
March and go all virtual, but is now open for in-class instruction this year, with smaller
class sizes and new safety protocols.
The school
also has some changes to its
valuable student mentoring program that News 12 got the chance to witness in
February.
Students at Immaculate
Conception in Spotswood went to New Road School once a month to promote peer
learning – and students from both schools got a lot out of the program.
While the program is on hold for now, in addition to
virtual meetings, the school is considering a possible pen pal exchange with
students from Immaculate Conception to keep their bond strong.
