School Hours/Emergency Closings

 

School Opening and Closing Times

 

It is the practice of the Secaucus School District to keep schools open on a regular basis despite

inclement weather. However, severe storms, which cause heavy snow accumulations, will force

the closing of schools.  Sometimes we are faced with a light snow that creates hazardous road

conditions during the early morning hours.  In instances such as this, the district will delay the opening

of school by two hours and bus routes will be adjusted accordingly.  A delayed opening allows the

safe operation of our school system since most commuter traffic has dissipated and the roads have

been cleared by the Department of Public Works. Hopefully, this will minimize the number of days

school will be closed during the winter season.
