Late Start Friday For Paramus Schools Due To Weather

PARAMUS, NJ — Paramus Public Schools will have a delayed opening Friday, as a wintry mix Thursday night into the morning will make the commute difficult.

Morning-only classes at the Early Childhood Center, and the Champions before-school care program, are cancelled.

Full-day Early Childhood classes open at 11 a.m.

There will be no delivery of elementary school lunches.
