Tuesday, Sept. 6 - First day of school for all students

“It's just too unsafe for the kids to be walking and riding the buses to school before Tuesday,” said Superintendent Sal Pascarella, Ed.D “All power has been restored to the schools. South Street is still down, but only because they are hooking up other power in the area. All students activities, including athletics, are cancelled until Tuesday.”

Instant alerts will be sent out this evening. A separate email will be sent to students and staff. The staff email will detail the Pre-Day and PD activities as well as the first day of school information.

According to Glass, “We are working with the bus company, food services and the media to provide updated information.”
