Do you have kids that are having a hard time disconnecting from their phones? Is it impacting their social life or family life, preventing them from connecting with others? The CMS/CHS Home and School Association is hosting a special speaker series tomorrow night to help address these concerns, and all parents are welcome. While this will target grade 4-12 families, all are welcome. Hooked on Phones: Electronic Device Addiction Tuesday April 18th: 7:30 pm CHS Media Center

Please see the attached promotion for the Cresskill Garage Sale, benefiting the town library. A great way to benefit local readers while also cleaning out your garage!

Busy night in Cresskill! It is the MMS Talent Show starting now, the EHB Basketball game between the teachers and fifth graders starting at 7, and we even have a high school student receiving the Unsung Hero Award from New Jersey School Boards Association! All good things!

In Cresskill Schools, it is our goal to remain responsive to the unique needs of all of our students. This week begins the holy month of Ramadan, and Cresskill community is helping to observe this month by holding a crescent lantern event at the library this evening. The invite is attached and all are welcome. Additionally, it is important to be responsive to the needs of our students that observe this month. Ramadan sometimes includes fasting of not only food but also water. We encourage parents and students that are observing the month to reach out and partner with us in ensuring a fruitful observance. Sometimes minor adjustments can have a major positive impact for our students. We look forward to helping.

Hello again Merritt families. Power is back on in the building. The YWCA after school program will be running this afternoon as well as the HSA after school classes.

Hi Merritt families. The building is currently without power. We will be dismissing as normal, but all after school classes and the YWCA after school program are cancelled for this afternoon. We will be keeping students in those programs in the gym until they are picked up by a parent.

The fifth grade Revolutionary War songs were too good to contain to just class, so we turned lunch into a concert today. “All I Want for Christmas is Freedom” was a huge hit!

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're not sure where all our first graders are today, but we sure have enjoyed having all these one-hundred-year-olds here at Merritt today! Happy 100th day of school!

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

It is great seeing our gyms full and the school full of life! Go Cougars! Congratulations to all of our young athletes in the wrestling program! 💛🖤
