Delayed Opening For East Brunswick Schools Wednesday Due To Winter Storm

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — East Brunswick Public Schools will have a two-hour delayed opening on Wednesday for grades K-12 due to snow in the forecast, Superintendent Victor Valeski informed the community.

“I am announcing this delay early to give our school community time to prepare for the delayed opening,” Valeski said.

"This will also allow our crews time to properly remove snow and treat all properties for safe passage.”

All morning half-day preschool programs, with the exception of ELA, are now canceled. Afternoon half-day pre-school classes will maintain their normal school hours in session from 12 p.m. to 2:20 p.m.

Here are timings:

• Grades 7-12 including full day Special Education Programs at those schools will begin at 10 a.m.

• Grades K-6 including full day Special Education Programs at those schools will begin at 11 a.m.

• For students in grades 5-12, Feb. 12 is a B Day.

• Bus schedules will be delayed by 2 hours.

The Community Programs Early Learning Academy (ELA) will operate on a modified schedule. Refer to the Hours section of the ELA website. (School Hours / Early Learning Academy Hours (ebnet.org))

Morning care will begin at 9 a.m. at all Elementary Schools inclusive of Hammarskjold Upper Elementary School. Breakfast is only available for those students attending the Early Morning Program. This is due to the delayed opening start time being so close to the first lunch service.

“I will reevaluate in the morning as soon as I have reliable information,” Valeski said. “I want everyone to be informed that our delay could change to closing if weather conditions dictate.”
