From the Glen Ridge Schools telephone alert system: schools will close at 12:30 pm tomorrow due to the heat.
From the Montclair schools website:
HEAT ADVISORY ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be an abbreviated day at all schools tomorrow, Tuesday, June 10.
In Little Falls, kids will get out early tomorrow; schools are operating on a single session day.
what is an abbreviated day? could they be less helpful?
I believe it's the dismissal time each school has on abbreviated days (like when they have teacher conferences and the kids get out early).
I picked up my son at the high school (he's a junior) at 11:30 am. He said he was feeling dizzy and sick to his stomach. He's only missed 2 days the entire year. I went in to sign him out -- it's a furnace in there (except for the front office which is air conditioned). I'm keeping my son home tomorrow -- this heat is dangerous.
I just got my reverse 911 call - Bloomfield also calls 1/2 day tomorrow.
BHS has exam reviews tomorrow and Friday, with exams Wednesday & Thursday, Monday & Tuesday. I can't begin to imagine how hot the interior classrooms are (these have no windows), even with air conditioning.
Yes,in Little Falls the kids were dismissed from the inferno-like school at 1 pm, but the teachers had to stay. We were told to go into any one of the 2 air conditioned rooms
until 3pm. I believe we were made to stay because we emailed the superintendent over the weekend and complained about the heat.
Just heard there are petitions circulating at MHS to close school tomorrow..
