Students from both the Herricks and New Hyde Park Memorial High School in the Sewanhaka Central High School District will have a grand total of 9 straight days off (including the weekends) after administrators announced that the buildings will remain closed through November 2 due to lack of power from the effects of Hurricane Sandy.
Students will have missed a full week of school due to the hurricane’s effects and power outages.
Meanwhile, students in the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park School District will have at least Thursday off since the elementary school buildings will be shut.
Notices of the closure were posted on the Sewanhaka, New Hyde Park-Garden City Park and Herricks school websites on Tuesday.
There is no word yet on how the classes will be made up.
