Delayed Opening For Manchester Schools On Wednesday: See Start Times

MANCHESTER, NJ — The Manchester Township School District will have a 90-minute delayed opening on Wednesday, the district announced.

"Due to ongoing icy conditions following the weekend's storm, all schools will operate on a 90-minute delayed opening Wednesday, January 28, to allow for safe travel for students and staff," the district said.

The announcement comes as the area remains under a cold weather advisory, with temperatures well below freezing and wind chills anticipated to be below zero, according to the National Weather Service.

The advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday.

"Wind chills of as low as 10 below zero could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken," the weather service warns. "Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures."

The 90-minute delay means morning Y-Kids programs are canceled, the district said.

The school opening times are as follows:

Manchester Towship High School: 8:40 a.m.

Manchester Township Middle School: 9:09 AM

Manchester Township Elementary: 10:15 a.m.

Ridgeway Elementary: 9:45 a.m.

Whiting Elementary: 10:15 a.m.

Regional Day: 10:15 a.m.

Vocational students will be transported based on the Manchester Township High School schedule, the district said. Only the morning session is affected by the delayed opening.
