What the district notes

• The calendar's summary counts 183 student days and 186 staff days. That total includes the three snow giveback days (April 17, May 30 and May 31), which are days off unless snow days are used, so students have 180 days if no snow days are needed. The calendar does not say in which order the giveback days are used.
• Early dismissal times: 12:45 p.m. for K-5, 12:30 p.m. for Tenafly Middle School and 12:10 p.m. for Tenafly High School. The CUBS preschool PM class is canceled on early dismissal days.
• Back to school nights: Tenafly Middle School Wednesday, Sept. 15; elementary schools Thursday, Sept. 16; Tenafly High School Thursday, Sept. 23.
• Tenafly Middle School graduation is Tuesday, June 13 and Tenafly High School graduation is Wednesday, June 14, 2028.

How we checked these dates

We read every date off the district's own calendar twice: once from the PDF's text and once from the image, cell by cell against its legend. Then we checked our count of every school day against the day counts the district prints. They match.

Every weekday on this page matches its date. If the district changes its calendar, its page is the final word.
