Winslow Township Middle School Shifts to Hybrid After Pipe Burst Floods Building

Officials expect a cohort rotation for roughly a month during repairs.

Overview

  • Remote instruction began Tuesday, with alternating in-person days set to start Friday in undamaged areas of the campus.
  • Restoration contractor All-Risk is directing cleanup, and crews estimate about 30 days before a full reopening.
  • Roughly three-fourths of the building took on one to two inches of water, impacting classrooms, the gym, the library, and offices, and no students were inside when the pipe failed.
  • About 760 seventh- and eighth-grade students were split into two cohorts and received Chromebooks to support instruction.
  • Extracurricular activities are paused, bus service continues, and grab-and-go meals are available on virtual days for eligible students.
