Students Head Back to School

The first day of school across Millburn-Short Hills went smoothly on Tuesday, although there were some hiccups.

"It's been going great," Schools Supt. James Crisfield said Tuesday afternoon. It's his first back to school as Millburn's superintendent.

At the high school, seniors arrived in their decorated cars. A car made to look like a dinosaur took first place in the annual competition. And the seniors sat for their annual class portrait. Crisfield said the other schools had their typical "first day of school excitement."

There were some hiccups along the way, including scheduling and a busing issue with the middle school. Students in the Wyoming area never were picked up for school Tuesday, and Crisfield said the issues has been resolved and students will be picked up as scheduled moving forward.

It's a short week for Millburn-Short Hills students, though, with Rosh Hashanah starting at sundown on Wednesday. School is off on Thursday and Friday for the holiday.
