From Hoboken Patch: Hoboken Charter School's elementary students will temporarily relocate to the former St. Anne’s School building in Jersey City Heights, N.J. Classes will resume Sept. 18, at which point the students will have missed eight days of school. School officials say that because of the fire damage, a return to its campus this year was unlikely.
