School Closing Make Up Dates
February 5, 2026
Dear Parents and Staff:
According to NJ State Law, our school district calendar must have a minimum of one-hundred eighty (180) student days. So far this year, it has been necessary to close all schools for three days (January 26, January 27, and January 28) due to inclement weather.
In order to make up these days, the Winslow Township Board of Education will approve the following adjustments to the district calendar:
• Friday, February 13, 2026 Early Dismissal Day for Students (Full Day for Staff)
• Monday, February 16, 2026 Early Dismissal Day for Students and Staff
The third make-up date will be determined in the near future. Thank you for your continued support.
Respectfully,
Mark Pease, Interim Superintendent
New Jersey Department of Health Issues Statement on Childhood Immunizations
New Jersey Acting Health Commissioner Issues Statement on CDC/HHS Updates to Childhood Immunization Schedule
While the federal HHS’s announcement today continues to sow confusion among patients and providers alike, New Jersey is taking action to provide equitable access to vaccines, achieve community protection, and build sustained trust in vaccination.
Vaccines are, unequivocally, our most effective defense against vaccine-preventable illnesses. For decades, the immunization schedule in the United States has played a significant role in turning diseases that once destroyed or claimed countless lives into preventable illnesses. Federal efforts to reduce the number of vaccines recommended for all children in the United States are not supported by the available data nor the consensus of public health and medical experts. Instead, deterring participation in vaccination risks leaving children vulnerable to serious and preventable infections.
