Students are now being evacuated to the recreation center. We will set up the system for dismissal from there. Students and staff will not be permitted to return to the building until it is fully cleared. All belongings must remain until that time. We appreciate your patience as the situation evolves. Sincere thanks goes out to our emergency services. They have been organized, professional, and timely to ensure our building, students, and staff are safe. They are the best!

In about five minutes, we will be evacuating to the recreation center to dismiss from there. Students will not be permitted back to the building until we fully clear it. We ask parents not to go to the rec center until we complete the evacuation.


Cresskill High School had a small fire that is occurring on the roof of the gym. Police and firefighters are on site and all staff and students have been evacuated safely. We will notify you of any updates. Please do not pull into the driveway until we send further notification. You will only block the driveway.

Cresskill Elementary Musical GIANTS IN THE SKY for Bryan School Cast performs today Sunday, March 24th, at 3:00 pm in the Cresskill High School auditorium. All are welcome to this great show!


We are rescheduling today's elementary musical to tomorrow at 3 pm out of caution. While we do not currently have water in the parking lot, rain is expected to continue and it has the potential to make access to the parking lot a challenge. Best to simply reschedule. Tickets from today will be honored tomorrow.





Here are our current openings within the district. If you know of any high quality applicants, please share the posting!


So excited to have our new signs out in the community. If you know of strong candidates, encourage them to apply to be members of our amazing team!
