SCHOOL CLOSURE AND COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information and Updates

 

 

During the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus, Link will continue to provide information on the school's response to the issue and resources to help members of our community understand the virus and take preventive measures.  Please check back periodically for updates.

Additionally, we ask that students, parents, and visitors avoid coming to school if you answer yes to any other following questions:
---Are you feeling sick in any way, such as cough, fever, or shortness of breath?
---Have you traveled to, or been in close contact with someone who has traveled to, one of the high risk areas as outlined by the CDC within the past 14 days, even if asymptomatic?
---Have you been in contact with an individual diagnosed with COVID-19 within the past 14 days, even if asymptomatic?
---Have you been diagnosed with COVID-19?

CONTACTING LINK DURING THE SCHOOL CLOSURE
Since the school building is closed except for meals pickup, communicatrions are happening from remote locations. Families may direct inquiries as follows:

  • Link Meals Program - linkmeals@linkschool.org
  • Instructional Program - linkinstruction@linkschool.org
  • Technology - linktech@linkschool.org or 973.568.8391
  • Admissions and High school Placement - gsilver@linkschool.org
  • General Inquiries - 973.642.0529 or link@linkschool.org
Each of these numbers/emails will be responded to during the typical school day. Please be patient as we restructure school operations. There may be slight delays in responding but we are working hard to address all inquiries and concerns.
