  • Winter Athletics Registration - Arbiter Sports

  • Week of Respect Writing Prompt

    Dear Parents/Caregivers, We are excited to share with you that on Monday, October 14th, both Pascack Hills High School and Pascack Valley High School will be hosting a special day of activities focused on building community and connections between our students, staff, and the school community. Over the last couple of years, we have begun to participate in activities and discussions around school culture and climate, with a particular focus on Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision for a Beloved Community. This year, we would like to continue this work with a series of events and activities created and developed by our teachers and students.  The goal of expanding this into a series of events throughout the year is to honor the vision for community connection by having students and faculty: Learn about ourselves, our community, and our world Foster collaboration and relationship-building among faculty, staff, students, and members of the school community Engage in community service Reflect on the district's wellness goals On October 14th, we will be specifically focused on the first two goals. From 8:00 am to noon, students will participate in academic activities in their classes that support building community and making stronger and more meaningful connections with peers and teachers.  All students are dismissed at 12 pm. In the afternoon, faculty will participate in activities that revolve around similar themes towards the goal of fostering collaboration and connections. We believe that a strong sense of community is essential for student success. We hope that this day of activities will continue our work in creating the most welcoming environment possible for all members of our school community. In preparation for this event, students will be invited to participate in a writing prompt as part of our Week of Respect activities. This writing prompt was developed by our School Climate Team as a followup to the New Jersey School Climate Improvement (NJ SCI) Survey, which was developed, and is administered, by Rutgers University. The purpose of this prompt is to help faculty better understand students as individuals and foster a school culture that supports all students. Question 1 Personal Insight and Understanding:   Is there something about yourself that you wish more people, including the adults in the building, understood? Explain why this is important to you. Question 2 Our recent school climate survey in the Spring of 2024 showed some differences in the perceptions of students, staff, and parents/guardians regarding our academic culture and classroom practices. We would love to hear your input on how we can address these differences and enhance our approach to fostering inclusivity and encouraging respect.  Specifically: Academic Culture and Classroom Practices  received the lowest ratings from students and was among the lowest among staff, but it was among the higher-rated domains for parents/guardians. Teachers' Inclusion of Diverse Perspectives:  Approximately 60% of students and 50% of staff feel that only some or none of their teachers address diverse perspectives in their teaching. Relevance of Topics:  Approximately 70% of students feel that only some or none of their teachers discuss topics students like. Choice in Assignments:  Approximately 80% of students feel that only some or none of their teachers give choice in assignments. Connections to the Future:  Approximately 70% of students feel that only some or none of their teachers explain how school work will help in the future, but 65% of staff feel that most or all teachers do. Personal Learning Preferences:  What aspects of learning are most important to you personally? After considering your interests, learning needs, and the results of the school climate survey, how can our school create a more engaging and supportive learning environment for you? As part of this year’s October 14th Beloved Community activities, faculty members will have the opportunity to read their students’ responses and reflect on ways to improve the learning experience for their students. This writing prompt will be administered in ELA class on Monday, October 7th. The writing prompt is optional, and students may read at their seats if they prefer. If students choose to complete the prompts, they will be asked to share their names, so that faculty can read the responses of their specific students.  If you have any questions, or would prefer that your child does not participate in the survey, please contact Mark Russo at  mrusso@pascack.org by 7:30 AM on Monday, October 7th, or complete this  form . If you do not respond, it will be deemed that you approve for your child to participate in this activity. Sincerely, Dr. Bilotti
