Happy Lunar New Year! We celebrate tomorrow’s celebration of the vibrant traditions and cultural heritage of Lunar New Year. May this occasion bring joy, prosperity, and blessings to all as we welcome the Year of the Dragon!


Lunar New Year is this Saturday, February 10th. As part of honoring the day, I asked our town DEIB committee to share some resources with our teachers, and they did such a great job that I want to also extend their compiled resources to the larger community for families to use. We are grateful for the DEIB Committee's mission of ensuring that all residents of Cresskill feel belonging and celebrated!

Black History Month is in full swing in Cresskill, and we are so grateful to our educators and students that have been planning the month of activities and lessons. This gem of a bulletin board says it all!


In recognition of National School Counseling Week, we recognize our Cresskill School Counselors for everything that they do for our students on a daily basis. Please join us in extending our collective admiration and gratitude!

As we begin February’s national recognition of Black History Month, we celebrate the contributions of Black individuals throughout history and reflect on their resilience, achievements, and lasting impact on our world. Cresskill Middle School/High School proudly honors the rich tapestry of Black culture and excellence in American society. May we continue to come together as a community to learn, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse perspectives that make us stronger and more united.

Please note that the 2024-2025 School Calendar has been released. However, the Thanksgiving Break was placed in the wrong week. We will be making the correction and post an updated calendar.

Exciting news! Our bill in the NJ Senate, S1892, was passed by the State Senate and signed into law by Governor Murphy. School districts going forward that are impacted by natural disasters will no longer have to wait to borrow funds to rebuild. They can instead get approval by the Commissioner of Education to begin rebuilding sooner. We will be sending thank you letters to the politicians that helped pass this important legislation. You can read our thank you letter here: https://shorturl.at/gtXY1

I am seeking multi-lingual parents to help make a presentation on February 13th as part of my next Coffee with the Superintendent. If you have time that evening and would like to help present in a language other than English, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/FrxVLRnfZz8mAeSVA

This is a reminder that we have a board of education meeting tomorrow, January 22nd at 7 pm. Additionally, the board will be touring the high school facility at 6 pm. The public is welcome to join us at both events.

Cresskill will have a NORMAL school day today. The anticipated snow seems to be consistent this afternoon, indicating that an early dismissal would not ensure greater safety. However, please take your time this afternoon and watch for students as you approach the schools due to the potential for reduced visibility. Let's have a safe day!


We are currently on a full day schedule for tomorrow, Friday, January 19th. We will be evaluating weather in the morning and send any notification after 6 am. Please be reminded that our voice messaging may be delayed and we recommend downloading and installing the phone app and setting your notifications to be on.

Thank you to our buildings & grounds and custodial crews for another day of quality cleanup! ❄️ 🐾
