One of the most important things we do in public schools is prepare students to be active citizens. So what better way to “practice democracy” than to have a debate when we disagree on something! Thank you to all the fifth graders who presented today and made excellent arguments for why their lunch period should be longer!
We have a number of great positions if you or someone you know is looking to work for a high performing school district. https://www.cresskillboe.k12.nj.us/page/employment-opportunities

Over 30 participants including former students, parents, & community members.

We hope all of our Cresskill families are successfully navigating the continual challenges put forth by COVID-19. In an effort to streamline, unify, and enhance our district communications, we have launched a new school website platform. The site will continue to be a work in progress in the coming weeks and months, and we genuinely appreciate your patience and understanding given all recent challenges. Please continue to visit us here for current and breaking district information. I wish our entire community a safe and enjoyable summer as we prepare to welcome our students back in September !
