The Monroe Township School District cancelled classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 1.

A notification from Superintendent Susan Ficke went out to parents Monday night, saying there was a technical issue that may result in the disconnection of the school's internet service. It said that holding classes without the internet would present logistical and safety issues.
