School Opens in Millburn-Short Hills Today

School bells will be ringing across Millburn-Short Hills today as students head back for the first day of classes.

The five elementary schools—Deerfield, Glenwood, Hartshorn, South Mountain and Wyoming—start at 8:40 a.m. Millburn Middle School opens at 7:40 a.m. The high school has a scattered schedule with freshmen expected at 7:45 a.m. and seniors at 8:15 a.m. Classes start at 9:37 a.m. for all high school students.

Elementary school families can find out their teachers via Edline if they haven't already. Paper work that traditionally is mailed to students during the summer will be distributed on the first day of school. Families also should have received bus information via e-mail in August. If families do not have their bus information, they should e-mail Transportation Director, Kathleen McGowan at kathleen.mcgowan@millburn.org for the information. Do not call her. Find out what's for lunch by clicking here. The middle school book and school supply pick-up is at 3-7 p.m. at the school.

Students have had the chance to visit their schools in the weeks leading up to school opening, including an open house for high school freshmen led by seniors. Looking for what's hot to wear back to school? The owners of Gotham City Clothing have the lowdown for you.
