Schools Closed Monday, February 23, 2026
Hello to our Farmingdale Family,
With the impending storm at our doorstep, I am reaching out early to allow our families time to prepare.
As you may have heard, the Governor has declared a State of Emergency. Under this declaration, school districts in the affected regions are not required to make up lost instructional days.
Accordingly, we will not be using our asynchronous learning plan for tomorrow. All Farmingdale students will have a traditional snow day.
Since this storm is expected to be significant, it may impact Tuesday’s schedule as well. I will be back in touch tomorrow if any further changes are necessary.
While I appreciate the beauty and the nostalgia of a classic snow day, I think many of us are ready for the first signs of spring. Until the tulips poke up out of the ground, please stay safe and warm.
Paul Defendini, Farmingdale Superintendent of Schools
