The Morris School District has canceled classes for Wednesday, Nov. 2 — the third straight day of closures since the weekend snowstorm.
A spokesperson for the district, which serves Morristown, Morris Township and Morris Plains (for high school), said too many road closures and downed power lines remain across the region for safe bus transportation of 1,000 students.
The district also has postponed the Wednesday presentation of Rachel’s Challenge, a program that promotes the ideals of a student slain in Columbine in 1999. A new date has not been chosen yet for the presentation.
I’m sorry to hear that you were unable to have the Rachel’s Challenge today. We had the presentation at our school in Buffalo NY today. It was extremely powerful, and students and teachers were very receptive to it. Please make sure that, if at all possible, you can re-schedule it for your students and staff. It will have great impacts on your school.
