Student achievement is more than test scores. It is about giving students the best possible futures and opportunities. So grateful to Carson's Cookies for helping our students thrive. https://shorturl.at/QBcqz

Cresskill Public Schools are remaining on a DELAYED OPENING schedule today, February 6th. Please take your time and use caution during your commute.
Cresskill Public Schools will have a delayed opening tomorrow, February 6th, due to icy conditions. Emails will go out with modified schedules. In the case of a school closure, a call will be made around 6 am tomorrow.
We are excited to announce a great fundraiser for the Cresskill Education Foundation (CEF). The CEF supports innovative projects and grants throughout our district. Next trip to the Stop and Shop in Tenafly, leave your bags at home and support the CEF!
As we approach Lunar New Year next week on January 29th, we wanted to remind the community that it will be a homework free day. Additionally, the day is a cultural holiday for many of our students and will be excused for those that are absent to celebrate the day. Parents should notify the schools in advance if your child will be absent due to a cultural celebration.
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.
Thank you to New York Life Insurance for holding a training for our counselors and administrators on grief sensitivity and support. Additionally, New York Life is providing $2000 ($500 per school) to help support our counseling programs. We appreciate New York Life's partnership in supporting our students!
As we get closer to the wet winter weather, it is time for an emergency notification drill for the community to ensure your emergency contact information is up to date. We will send out a notification on Wednesday at 2 PM via email, text, and voice. In order to receive these notifications, your contact information must be undated in Genesis by tomorrow evening. Thank you for your cooperation.
