Bellmore-Merrick CHSD Closed Tuesday

The Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District will be closed on Tuesday, but will reopen for students on Wednesday. 

This includes Mepham, Kennedy and Calhoun High Schools, as well as Grand and Merrick Avenue Middle Schools. 

According to district officials, staff will report to the buildings Tuesday from 8 a.m. until noon, and students will return to school Wednesday at normal time.

All of the buildings have power, although some are running on generators, according to sources. All schools will have heated food as well.

According to Calhoun High School's Twitter feed, there will be collections held at the school for those in need when school reopens. 

"Calhoun will be collecting supplies for people in need," the tweet said. "Starting Wednesday, you can bring water, non-perishable food, etc. to school."
