An earlier than usual start to the 2015-16 school year kicks off the most important family calendar in town, as Washington Township students get back in the classroom on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

The district has built in four emergency closing days for the calendar year.

Other adjustments to the calendar as a result of more than four school closings will be made if necessary.
