Back To School In Maplewood: What's New On 2022-23 School Calendar

SOUTH ORANGE AND MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Back-to-school planning has begun in New Jersey. With COVID still a factor, boards of education have often had to adjust school schedules several times throughout the year — meaning parents must always check back to see if the calendar is updated, before making plans.

As of the current calendar, in the South-Orange Maplewood school district, schools reopen to students on Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022. Teachers must report the week before.

This year, students get a full week in November off for "Fall Break," which includes Veteran's Day and the NJEA Convention days.

Students have two days off in September for Rosh Hashanah and a day in October for Yom Kippur. Schools will be closed June 16 for Juneteenth.

The current South Orange-Maplewood school calendars can be found here.

Here are some notable dates on the school calendar for 2022-23:

• Fall break, including NJEA Convention/Veteran's Day: Nov. 5-13
