In November, schools are closed Nov. 3 for a staff in-service and Nov. 5-6 for the NJEA Convention. Conferences bring early dismissals Nov. 16 (grades 5-8) and Nov. 17-20 (PreK-8). Thanksgiving recess includes an early dismissal Nov. 25 with schools closed Nov. 26-27, followed by a delayed opening for students Nov. 30.

Spring recess runs March 26 through April 2. The calendar designates March 15, April 5 and May 28 as contingency snow days, used in that order if emergency closings occur.
