Due to the low temperatures and expected ice and snow, Cresskill Schools will be closed tomorrow, January 20. All after school practices and activities are canceled. We wish everyone a happy and safe snow day as well as MLK Day!
We anticipate snow on Sunday, which may impact Monday's schedule. Currently, an early dismissal is planned for Monday so the teachers can participate in professional development in the afternoon. However, if we need to do a delayed opening due to snow, our schedule will shift to follow our two hour delay schedule and school will instead end at our regular time. The professional development for teachers will be rescheduled. This will allow us to get the school day in without using one of our snow days. We will make the decision Sunday evening to ensure adequate notice for Monday.
Thank you to the dozens of special education parents that attended yesterday's meetings on "Building Inclusive Opportunities for Special Education Students". Here is a copy of the presentation: https://shorturl.at/9Ic6v. Additionally, we will send notes from the comment section to special education parents later today.
