Ridgewood Schools Closed All Week

No word on Glen Rock schools for Friday.

With much of Ridgewood still without power, Superintendent Daniel Fishbein made the decision Wednesday to close all school activities for the remainder of the week.

Fishbein – outside Somerville School, where a charging station had been set up for residents – said no decisions have been made as to any potential closures next week.

Half of the village's schools were without power Wednesday. Still, none sustained damage, Fishbein said.

The superintendent also said he was not aware of any decision made to cancel the teacher conference in Atlantic City next week.

School days lost due to Hurricane Sandy are set to be taken out of the April vacation period, but Fishbein said there is a possibility that is altered.
