FIVE SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY, IS YOURS?

This from the school district today.

Five SOMSD Schools Scheduled to Open Monday November 5, 2012


Columbia High School, South Orange Middle School, Marshall Elementary School, Seth Boyden Elementary School, South Mountain Elementary School (main campus only) WILL be open on November 5th, barring any unforeseen complications.

South Mountain Annex students and staff should report to the “big school” until further notice, since the Annex is currently without power.

Jefferson Elementary School will be closed on Monday, November 5th because of multiple instances of downed wires surrounding the school which create hazardous conditions.

Maplewood Middle School, Clinton Elementary School, South Mountain Annex, and Tuscan Elementary School are still without power and are expected to be closed Monday, November 5th.  We are working with PSE&G and municipal officials to open as quickly as possible.  If power is restored and we are able to open any of these schools on November 5th, we will let affected families know via SchoolMessenger.

Getting to School Safely

SOMSD requests that all adults in the community assist children in getting to school.  Parents should stay in custody of their children all the way to school.  Please help them around obstructions, across streets and intersections, and make sure they stay away from downed power lines.  Drivers, please drive slowly and exercise extreme caution.

Transportation routes will be challenged by obstructed roadways.  Please be patient and expect delays.  If bus stops are obstructed, buses will stop at the nearest corner that is on the route.
