Winter Storm Prompts East Brunswick Schools To Go Remote

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — East Brunswick School District announced it will be going remote on Thursday due to the upcoming winter storm, school superintendent Victor Valeski said.

Thursday will be a full remote instruction day for students across the district, with supplemental instruction in the afternoon.

All after school activities have been cancelled for Thursday.

“Essential personnel shall report to their facilities. All other staff will work remote tomorrow,” said Valeski.

Valeski said Friday could also be a virtual instruction day if “parking lot and sidewalk cleanups take longer than expected.”

“I will make the determination late Thursday, for Friday’s instructional day, when I have more accurate information since every day back in our schools is important to us.”

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for 17 New Jersey counties, including Middlesex, saying that snow and sleet accumulations could bring anywhere from 3 to 8 inches across the state.

The storm could be a combined snow and ice storm, and could knock down wires causing power outages, according to the National Weather Service.
