Happy National Custodian Day to the people that keep the building running each and everyday! Thank you for all you do!
To show how our school is unified against bullying, we ask students to dress up according to each day's theme!
Just a reminder that at 6:30 tonight is the rededication of the high school at the main entrance. All are invited to join us as we celebrate the reopening of our middle and high school after we "built back better"!
Come see our giant scissors as our town officials, board of education, and administrators officially rededicate our high school at 6:30 on Thursday evening before the high school back to school night. All are welcome to celebrate with us at the high school entrance.
Unfortunately, the Merritt Family Picnic had to be rescheduled to the rain date, Saturday, September 30th due the forecasted weather this weekend.
What's better than having the 5th grade students to lead morning announcements with the school?
Dear Parents,
In collaboration with our parent groups, we translated the health standards into Korean and Hebrew to ensure our parents can make informed decisions for participation. The new timeline for opting out of any health standards is Thursday, September 21st. The link to the translations is below.
With Grateful Service,
Dr. Hughes

Dear Cresskill Families,
I am formally kicking off my virtual coffees for the upcoming school year, a way that I use to remain accessible to parents. This is an informal time to learn about our schools and get to know about the initiatives we are undertaking.
Our first coffee is tomorrow evening from 7-8 PM, where I will be introducing our new elementary principal, Ms. Peguero, and discussing some of the elementary goals for the upcoming school year. All elementary parents are welcome to attend. Below are the links.
Also, please mark your calendar for August 29th, when I will be hosting my next coffee to discuss 2023-2024 School District Goals for the year.
Happy Summer,
Dr. Hughes, Your Superintendent of Schools
