Palisades Park Schools: BOE Office, 2026–27 Calendar & Family Routes
The Palisades Park Board of Education serves the Palisades Park School District in Bergen County, New Jersey. Parents and residents usually reach the district site for a school calendar, Board member, meeting agenda, registration appointment, school office, Genesis portal, public record or district contact.
This page keeps those Palisades Park school tasks together without treating the Board office as the answer to every question. Use the official district site for the final live version of calendars, meeting notices, registration forms and school-year updates.

Palisades Park school calendar: first day, breaks and last day
The Board adopted the 2026–27 Palisades Park School District calendar on April 22, 2026. The calendar contains 182 student days and 185 staff days.

| June 18, 2027 | Juneteenth Observed | Schools closed. |
| June 22, 2027 | Last Day of School | Early dismissal is listed. |
Do not book around the make-up days: the district calendar identifies May 27, May 28 and June 23 as emergency school make-up dates. If closures occur, May 27 is used first, followed by May 28 and then June 23.
Graduation: the adopted calendar says the graduation date will be determined by the Board of Education at its March meeting. Check the current district calendar or Palisades Park Junior/Senior High School notice rather than guessing a graduation date.
Use the district’s School Year Calendar from the official homepage for the current PDF.
How to check Palisades Park Board of Education meetings in 2026
The district maintains separate pages for meeting agendas, meeting minutes, a meetings guide and legal notices. For current 2026 meeting changes, the Legal Notices page is especially important because it publishes cancellations, rescheduled meetings, public hearings and special-meeting notices.
Agendas
The district says an agenda is uploaded a few days before a meeting. Use the meeting date shown by the district rather than relying on an old search snippet.
Legal notices
The current legal-notice archive includes 2026 rescheduling, cancellation and special-meeting notices, including a rescheduled regular business meeting notice dated September 16, 2026.
Why there is no guessed “next meeting” here: the accessible agenda archive still prominently displays 2025 meeting rows, while 2026 changes are being published through legal notices. Check the current legal notice and agenda pages together before attending.
Find a Palisades Park BOE agenda or minutes without using an old file
The district separates agendas from minutes. An agenda is useful before a meeting, while minutes are the better record after Board action has been recorded and posted.
Confirm the meeting date first
Check Legal Notices if the meeting could have been rescheduled, cancelled or called as a special meeting.
Open Meeting Agendas
The district states that the agenda will be uploaded a few days before the meeting.
Match the exact meeting
Use the date and whether it is a regular, reorganization, special or other meeting so you do not open the wrong document.
Use minutes for the later record
The district keeps a separate minutes archive by year. Do not treat an agenda item alone as proof that a motion ultimately passed.
Palisades Park Board of Education members
The official Board page currently lists nine members. Because officer roles can change after reorganization or elections, use the live district page before addressing a formal letter to a specific Board officer.
| Board member | 2026 role shown | Official email |
|---|---|---|
| Soo Chung | President | SooChung@palpkschools.org |
| Jun Yim | Vice President | JYim1@palpkschools.org |
| Ray Park | Board Member | RPark@palpkschools.org |
| Sergio Calle | Board Member | SCalle@palpkschools.org |
| Inkyo Kim | Board Member | IKim@palpkschools.org |
| Justin Jeong | Board Member | JJeong@palpkschools.org |
| Sookyung Park | Board Member | SPark1@palpkschools.org |
| Boyoung Yu | Board Member | BYu@palpkschools.org |
| Aaron Pak | Board Member | APak@palpkschools.org |
Which Palisades Park school should you contact?
Palisades Park uses three main school locations. Registration appointments and many day-to-day student questions are handled through the school that serves the student’s grade level.
| School | Grades / use | Address | Phone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Childhood Center | Pre-K3 through Kindergarten | 270 1st Street, Palisades Park, NJ 07650 | 201-947-2761 |
| Lindbergh Elementary School | Grades 1–6 | 401 Glen Avenue, Palisades Park, NJ 07650 | 201-947-3556 |
| Palisades Park Junior/Senior High School | Grades 7–12 | 1 Veterans Plaza, Palisades Park, NJ 07650 | 201-941-1100 |
Fastest route: attendance, teacher contact, daily schedule, school events, transcript questions and immediate student matters usually belong with the student’s school rather than the general Board office.
How to register a student in Palisades Park Public Schools
The district’s current Registration page directs families to schedule an appointment with the school that serves the child’s grade range. The page also separates a new registration from the annual Genesis Parent Portal update for students who are already enrolled.
Call the correct school
Call ECC for Pre-K3–K, Lindbergh for grades 1–6, or Palisades Park Junior/Senior High School for grades 7–12.
Complete the district registration packet
Use the current packet linked by the district instead of an old form from a search result.
Prepare proof of age and residency
The district asks for a birth certificate or passport and two proofs of residency. Its examples include a lease, mortgage or tax bill plus a current utility bill or government letter.
Bring parent and health records
Prepare parent/guardian photo ID, the student’s immunization record and a recent physical exam completed within the district’s stated time frame.
Add prior-school records
Bring the report card or transcript, withdrawal form and standardized test information when applicable.
Include special documents when relevant
IEP or 504 records, custody or guardianship orders and the Home Language Survey may also be needed depending on the student.
Already enrolled?
Annual updates for currently enrolled students are completed through the Genesis Parent Portal rather than starting a brand-new registration.
Need language help?
The district says interpretation is available for registration and placement, including bilingual/ESL support.
School-year caution: portions of the district’s registration page still reference 2025–26 in its kindergarten text. Use the page for the process and contact routes, but confirm age-year wording with the district before relying on it for a 2026–27 enrollment decision.
OPRA, Board records and student records are different requests
The district Board section provides an OPRA Request Form for qualifying public records. Student transcripts, diploma verification and medical or education records should not automatically be routed through a public Board-record request.
Board records
Start with meeting agendas, minutes, policies, Board presentations, legal notices and the OPRA route.
Junior/Senior High records
For PPHS transcripts, education verification and diploma requests, the registration page directs users to the high-school main office.
Private information
Do not put student medical, custody, disability, discipline or identity records into a public meeting comment or an unofficial form.
Withdrawal: families transferring out should contact the student’s school to complete the withdrawal process and return district devices.
Palisades Park 2026–27 school budget resources
The official Board budget page includes a 2026–27 User Friendly Budget and a separate 2026–27 Budget Hearing and Adoption Presentation. These are the better source for current district finance details than an older annual budget file.
User Friendly Budget
Use this for the district’s state-format annual budget information and year-to-year financial context.
Budget hearing presentation
Use the Board’s 2026–27 hearing/adoption presentation for the locally presented budget explanation.
Palisades Park school jobs and employment route
The district site provides an Employment Opportunities link through its official navigation. Use that current route for teaching, administrative, paraprofessional and support vacancies instead of relying on an old indexed vacancy page.
Current openings
Open the district’s official Employment Opportunities link from the homepage or site map to reach the active application system.
Current employees
The district maintains a separate Current Employees page for payroll, benefits, contracts and staff resources.
Application check: verify the posting status, school, license requirements and closing date in the active application system before submitting employment documents.
Useful Palisades Park family resources beyond the Board office
The district site includes family services that are separate from Board governance. Using the right page usually gets a parent to the answer faster.
Genesis Parent Portal
Use Genesis for enrolled-student account access and annual updates. Start from the official district homepage so login information is not entered on an unofficial site.
Lunch Program
The district’s family section includes 2026–27 food-service information, lunch menus, payment tools, allergy information and meal applications.
Closings & Delays
Use the official closing/delay page and live district notices during weather or emergency changes rather than a saved school calendar.
HIB reporting
The district provides Harassment, Intimidation & Bullying information and a separate reporting route under For Families.
Special Services
Use the district Special Services department for special-education and related support rather than discussing private student needs in public Board correspondence.
Curriculum
The Curriculum & Instruction section provides Board-approved curriculum links and department contacts for subject-area questions.
Palisades Park Board of Education address, phone and map
Before visiting: registration appointments are handled through the student’s school, so do not assume every enrollment task should be completed at 410 2nd Street.
Common Palisades Park school search problems
“I found an old BOE meeting date.”
Check Legal Notices first, then open Meeting Agendas. The district has posted 2026 cancellations and rescheduled-meeting notices separately from the older agenda archive.
“I found two school calendars.”
Confirm that the file says 2026–2027 School Year and shows adoption on April 22, 2026.
“My child’s grade is unclear for registration.”
Use the grade split published by registration: ECC for Pre-K3–K, Lindbergh for grades 1–6 and PPHS for grades 7–12.
“I need a transcript.”
For Junior/Senior High transcripts, diploma verification and related records, contact the PPHS main office rather than the general Board email.
“A calendar closure changed.”
Use the live district Events or Closings & Delays page. Emergency make-up days can change the adopted calendar.
“I need a public record.”
Check whether the record is already available in agendas, minutes, legal notices, budget or Board reports before using the OPRA request route.
