Powered by NOAA / National Weather ServiceHope Academy is a school in Passaic, New Jersey, part of Northern Region Educational Services Commission. The forecast above uses the school's own coordinates, so it reflects conditions at this campus rather than an average across the wider area.
Closure decisions for Hope Academy are almost always made at the district level. If Northern Region Educational Services Commission closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Northern Region Educational Services Commission forecast).
Suburban districts depend heavily on bus fleets covering a wide area of residential streets, which are plowed after main roads. Side-street conditions at 5 AM often decide the call.
New Jersey averages about 25 inches of snow per year. New Jersey districts are notorious for preemptive closures. Northern NJ closes more frequently than southern counties.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Northern Region Educational Services Commission before acting on it.
