We will be conducting non-emergency evacuation drills to an off-site location at some time over the upcoming weeks. Even though we will be not advertising specific dates and times in advance, our police department will be assisting in this process, and they will help ensure that students are safe during the drills. Should you have specific concerns or wish to know more about the process, please reach out to our building administrators.
Please be advised that we are using a very realistic coyote decoy and fencing to help scare the geese away on the EHB field. Additionally, we welcome residents to help chase the geese when convenient to do so. These actions help to prevent further damage to our fields and promote cleanliness.

Thank you to our amazing parent groups from the Presidents' Council (HSA, KPA, PTA, PTO, DEIB) that came out and provided breakfast for our staff to welcome them back to school. Thank you for helping our teachers, custodians, secretaries, and administrators in kicking off a great new school year!
While our teaching staff is fully hired for the upcoming school year, we are still seeking great coaches, aides, and substitute teachers to make a difference in the lives of our students. Currently, the coaching positions available are MS Boys Soccer (Fall), MS Girls Soccer (Fall), Winter Track, MS Softball (Spring), and MS Track and Field (Spring). Per policy, parents of Cresskill students are not permitted to coach, but all those without children enrolled in the schools are welcome to apply by emailing bdelvecchio@cresskillnj.net.

While July 4th, 1776 is observed as America's independence or freedom from the British, Juneteenth commemorates the first time in history when EVERY American was free! Over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the final vestiges of slavery were finally stamped out when Union soldiers informed the last groups of slaves of their freedom. As Americans, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate freedom for ALL! Happy Juneteenth!
Thank to our Cresskill Police Department for all that you do at EHB and the Cresskill community!
Congratulations EHB graduates! We are so proud of the people you are becoming!
