2-Hour Delayed Opening For All Local Schools Wednesday

Districts will monitor conditions overnight and decide on full closures in the morning.

Washington Township Schools and the West Morris Regional High School district didn't hesitate in making a decision about Wednesday's bell schedule, calling for a two-hour delayed opening just before 7 p.m. Tuesday night for all schools.

The delayed opening comes after most of Washington Township was already blanketed by five inches of snow throughout the day Tuesday. Schools in the K-8 district were closed Tuesday as the storm, expected to bring 10 inches of snow to the area, came in. West Morris Central had an early dismissal.

In its message to the school community, both districts said it will monitor conditions and make a decision on a full closure in the morning.
