Hillsborough Schools Closed Wednesday Due To Snow

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Due to the impending snowstorm, all Hillsborough Township Public Schools will be closed Wednesday.

All after school events are also canceled.

The district has already used up all of snow days that were built into the 2017-2018 school calendar as of March 8 and as a result schools will be open on April 6 to make up for Wednesday.

All schools will also now be open and in session for a half-day on Thursday, April 26. This half-day session will be followed by a half-day in-service for teachers and staff. To view the half-day session dismissal time for each school, click here.

Raritan Valley Community College is also closed on Wednesday.

As many as 18 inches of heavy, wet snow could fall, creating the potential for power outages across the state. The double-wave storm, the fourth possible nor'easter to hit New Jersey in three weeks, could be a "long-duration event" packing 45 mph winds. The bulk of the storm is expected to come in two waves, especially on Wednesday, and could extend the nor'easter to a 36-hour system.
