Good afternoon, ECPS Families,
Essex County Public Schools will remain closed for students on Friday, January 10, 2025. Some secondary roads are still not safe for traveling due to drifting snow accumulation.

Good afternoon, ECPS Families,
Essex County Public Schools will remain closed for students on Thursday, January 9, 2025. The rationale for this decision is our observation of running water throughout the county on secondary roads such as Petro Pitts, Laurel Springs, and even Hustle Rd. This running water has been observed flowing across the roads in a downward direction. The early morning temperature will result in the freezing of this water and thus preventing school buses from traversing upward and downward.
All staff will be expected to attend work by 10:00 a.m. or to make contact with immediate supervisors, should travel be adversely affected.
Please be safe!
Good Afternoon, ECPS Families:
Essex County Public Schools will remain closed for students on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. All ECPS’ staff members are expected to appear at assigned duty sites by 10:00 a.m., or as close to that time as possible, should anyone experience travel difficulties.
The decision to keep schools closed for students is due to the poor condition of secondary roads, primarily in the north end of the county. Many of these roads still have snow and ice, while others have yet to be adequately plowed. Additionally, reports have been received regarding snow covered roads in the White Marsh/Route 684 areas of the county as well.
Thanks for your attention.
Good Afternoon, ECPS Families,
We hope this message finds everyone well and safe. Please be advised that Essex County Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, due to inclement weather and dangerous road conditions.
Thanks for your attention.
