Please be advised that the new speed limit of the high school parking lots and driveways is now 5 mph. This is to ensure greater safety for pedestrians, bikes, and cars.

We just completed a test of emergency communication systems for SMS, phone notifications, and email. If you are properly set up to receive notifications, you should have received all three messages. In the case of an actual emergency or weather notifications, we will employ all three methods. People who have not received important notifications are encouraged to correct their emergency contact information in Genesis or to contact the board offices to ensure our systems are correctly set up. Thank you for assisting us in this important task.

We will be sending a test message tomorrow, October 1. Please ensure that all contacts are updated in Genesis this evening and the district app is installed in order to receive emergency notifications. This test will help ensure our messaging services are configured properly and can be effectively used for emergency communication.

Due to safety concerns and recent damage caused by student use of e-bikes, we will no longer permit e-bikes and electric scooters on or around our athletic fields or in crowded areas. Please note that the police have been asked to help enforce this on our school property. Safety of our staff and students continues to be our focus. Thank you!

Dear Cresskill Families,
We just completed a major upgrade to our Genesis servers. As a result, we have new links that need to be used to access Genesis. Please replace any bookmarked links with the new ones. This should resolve any recent challenges with accessing student schedules.
Sincerely,
Dr. Hughes
