What a beautiful day for outdoor recess in late October!
Some great protections are being put into place as we fix our front drainage and install new flood barriers. This will work to greatly enhance the protection of our high school from any threats of water.
We are so excited that our Director of Special Education, Dr. Janelle Amato, is representing Cresskill as she speaks to school board members from across the state at the NJSBA conference in Atlantic City. @njsba

Hello students, families, faculty and staff of Cresskill Middle School/High School,
As a follow-up to Superintendent Hughes' recent video message for our district's trauma-informed response to the Israel-Hamas War, I would like to reinforce his important message of support and expectations for our school community. Please know that our caring administrative team and faculty are saddened by these recent developments and very concerned about the impact on our students, families, and colleagues. Our counseling staff is available to support any individuals who may need some time to talk today and each day moving forward. As our mission statement so importantly states, our "dynamic and caring environment" is especially important and valued at this time.
Sincerely,
John Massaro
Principal
Cresskill Middle School/High School
