Kipp Star Elementary is opening its doors to its first class of kindergarteners in August. The school will house students in kindergarten through grade four. Due to insufficient funding, the library has very few books. Collection boxes are located at 10 Gloria Drive in Allendale; the Ho-Ho-Kus Public Library, 91 Warren Avenue, Ho-Ho-Kus; and the Glen Rock Public Library, 315 Rock Road, Glen Rock.
