Rutherford Public Schools, Rutherford, New Jersey
Due to the weather, all outdoor Halloween activities are cancelled. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate parents and all planned activities will be indoors and student only. Students at the Kindergarten Center, Pierrepont, and Lincoln that planned to go home to change for the afternoon activities will still do so.
