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.

Additional details about the hacked computer system have not been released.
