Assistant Schools Superintendent Sandra Gomez-Rodriguez wrote in a message:

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to the impending forecast of inclement weather, the Hoboken Public Schools will begin with a delayed opening schedule in order to provide time for children and families to arrive safely and for staff to get in and find parking. Students in K-12 (and PSD) will attend school from 9:45 am to 3:00 pm. A separate communication for Pre-Kindergarten students (HOPES and MSELC) sharing their school hours will be shared by ECE Supervisor Lauren Eakin shortly.
We know that whenever we make calls regarding school openings or closings, there are questions. I kindly ask that you direct your questions to me at srodriguez@hoboken.k12.nj.us, I will respond to your questions immediately. In closing, I will be monitoring the weather throughout the night and should the conditions worsen, a snow day will be called prior to 5:30 am.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.

The city of Hoboken had suspended street sweeping for Friday and sent a message with other snow information.
