Hello students, families, faculty and staff of Cresskill Middle School/High School, As a follow-up to Superintendent Hughes' recent video message for our district's trauma-informed response to the Israel-Hamas War, I would like to reinforce his important message of support and expectations for our school community. Please know that our caring administrative team and faculty are saddened by these recent developments and very concerned about the impact on our students, families, and colleagues. Our counseling staff is available to support any individuals who may need some time to talk today and each day moving forward. As our mission statement so importantly states, our "dynamic and caring environment" is especially important and valued at this time. Sincerely, John Massaro Principal Cresskill Middle School/High School
