Full Notification

Today marks the first day of school for Cranford Public Schools! Remember to drive safely, leave ample travel time, and slow down in our town.  

Also, pedestrian safety is a #sharedresponsibility

Please see the Cranford Public Schools' message about traffic patterns around some schools during construction:

"Following the approval of the recent referendum, several of our school sites will undergo construction throughout the 2025–2026 school year. While we are excited about the long-term benefits these improvements will bring to our facilities, we recognize the short-term challenges they may pose, particularly in terms of parking and traffic flow around our schools.

To help address these issues, we are working closely with the Cranford Police Department to ensure safe and efficient drop-off, pick-up, and staff parking procedures. Based on our ongoing conversations with these safety professionals, the following site-specific proposals have been developed.

We will continue to monitor traffic patterns throughout the year and make adjustments as needed. Should anyone require assistance, we ask that they contact the principal of the respective school directly.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we work together to improve our school facilities for the future.

Sincerely,
Dr. Scott Rubin
Superintendent of Schools
