Scotch Plains-Fanwood Schools Switching to Half-Day Tuesday Due To Extreme Heat

SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ - Scotch Plains-Fanwood K-8 students will follow a single-session schedule Tuesday, as the district responds to forecasted extreme heat, according to an announcement from school officials.

Right At School aftercare will continue for enrolled students, and lunch will be available for those participants.
