Please be advised that Cresskill Public Schools will be on a delayed opening schedule tomorrow, January 10th. Please refer to your email or school website for the schedule.
Due to the expected rain tomorrow and the Governor calling a State of Emergency, all afterschool activities and athletic events will be canceled tomorrow evening and the buildings will be closed promptly at 4:00 pm. Please stay safe everyone!
There is the potential for heavy rains tomorrow evening that we are monitoring closely. We have upgraded our flood barriers to stay in place 24/7. This new configuration ensures our building is protected at all major ventilation points. However, front parking lot flooding that restricts access is a continuous challenge and may cause delays or even closures. Please know that if it becomes evident that the Tenakill will flood its banks, we will notify you as early as possible.
Dear Cresskill Families,
I hope that everyone had a restful break. This link goes to my welcome back letter along with information regarding our ongoing strategic planning process: https://shorturl.at/fkHO1
