While New Jersey students have an abbreviated November schedule to look forward to, parents are left to figure out things to do to fill those days off. The first holiday falls on Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, followed by NJEA Convention on Thursday, November 7, and Friday, November 8. Some school districts have gone a step further, giving students that entire week off!
Of course, don't forget about Thanksgiving at month's end, when kids have off both Thursday, November 28, and Friday, November 29; some even have a half-day or no school the Wednesday prior, too. Yikes!
With that in mind, we've pulled together this list of 25 things to do in New Jersey to keep your kids busy during November's school holidays, so read on for our picks for the best staycation ideas this November.
