Incoming 9th Grade Course Selection
Dear Parents/Caregivers of Incoming 9th Grade Students, Thank you to everyone who has already completed registration for your incoming 9th graders. The next step to prepare for your child’s high school experience is the Course Request process. Please Note : Course Request can only take place AFTER your student is registered with the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. If you have not yet registered your child, please click here . After registering, please allow at least two school days for your registration to be processed. We will notify you when registration is complete and you can continue with Course Requests. Courses will be requested through our Genesis Parent Access System. Below is information regarding logging into Parent Access and timing of the process: On Monday, January 27, by 12 noon, you will receive an email with login information to our Genesis Parent Access System. The email will be from: genesis@pascack.org The subject will be: “Welcome to the Pascack Valley Regional Parent/Student Access System” If you do not see the message after 12 noon on Monday, please check your “SPAM” or “Promotions” folder. If you still do not have it, please email Ms. Maria Valentino ( mvalentino@pascack.org ) for assistance. If you already have a student attending the high school, you will not receive this message, as you will use your existing Parent Access account. Starting at 3pm on Tuesday, January 28, Course Requests will be available to parents and their current 8th grade students through the Parent Access System. Course Requests are due February 7 . Below are step-by-step instructions for Course Selection: Login to your Parent Access account using the information noted above. On the top right-hand corner of your screen, select your incoming 9 th grade student If you have more than one incoming 9 th grade student starting at the high school, you will need to do this process for each of them. If you already have a student at the high school, they will appear in your list. Please note that current students may not select their courses here - they will do this in-person with their school counselor. On the left-hand side of the screen, under Student Data, click on “Scheduling” and then “Requests” You will be provided with two options for requesting courses. Under “World Languages Subject Area” please select one course. If your student is new to the language, please select level “I”. If your student is currently taking the language you select, you may select level “II” but note that students will be placed in the appropriate level based on their placement test score. Under “Electives Subject Area” please select five courses. The graduation requirement each elective fulfills is noted below the course title. If you choose a 2.5 credit course, please be sure to select one more 2.5 credit course, as these are half year courses. Please be sure to prioritize your selections “highest” to “lowest” - we will do our best to honor student requests as prioritized. Once you are done, you will see the courses you have selected, with their priority of preference. Please review these courses with your student to assure these are the desired courses. If you are finished, you can simply logout and close the window. If you want to change your selections, click on the red circle to the right of a course you would like to remove, and you will be able to click on the “Request a Course” to replace that course. Please note : Our schedule at Pascack Hills/Valley allows students to take up to eight classes. This allows students to sign up for up to two elective classes. Most incoming freshmen will take: English World History Geometry Biology World Language Physical Education Elective Elective If your child would like to take two electives , we ask that you identify five elective classes they are interested in. Alternatively, students can choose to take a Pascack Period as one of their “elective” choices, which gives students the opportunity to complete academic work, study, or meet with their school counselor during the school day. For Example: English World History Geometry Biology World Language Physical Education Elective Pascack Period If your child would like to have a Pascack Period in addition to taking one elective, we ask that you identify four electives and select “Pascack Period” as their fifth choice . If you have questions, For information about courses, please review our Program of Studies . For questions about leveling (honors placement, World Language placement, etc.), please email: lquestions@pascack.org If you are having technical difficulties with Parent Access, please contact Ms. Maria Valentino: mvalentino@pascack.org Thank you and we look forward to your arrival this coming fall. Sincerely, Dr. Sean Struncis District Supervisor of School Counseling

2024-25 Midterm Letter
January 10, 2025 Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, I hope this email finds you well. Midterms are just around the corner, and we want to ensure your child feels prepared and supported during this time. This year's midterm schedule will follow the same format as last year's final exams, starting on Tuesday, January 28. To give students time to sleep in or review material, classes will begin at 9:00 am each day. Students will attend two of their classes each day for an extended two-hour period. While all classes will meet during the midterm schedule, not all classes will administer a traditional exam. Some classes may have projects and presentations or continue with regular instruction. Please review the Midterm Exam Schedule with your child to help them plan their time accordingly. We also want to emphasize the importance of your child's well-being during this potentially stressful time. Please encourage healthy habits like getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, and exercising regularly, as these contribute to focus, energy, and stress management. Remind your child to take breaks, practice relaxation techniques, and engage in mindfulness to reduce stress and improve concentration. Here are some research-based study suggestions and Six Evidence-based Study Habits of High Performing Students . And remember, Pascack Hills High School offers a strong support system for your child, including teachers, wellness counselors, CST members, and guidance counselors. Please don't hesitate to reach out if your child needs extra support. We are here to help them succeed! Midterm Exam Period: January 28 - 31. No Homework/Projects: To help students focus on their exams, NO homework or projects will be assigned outside of class time from January 27 to 31. Bus Schedule: Buses will run on their regular schedule. Classes: Classes will meet during their designated times and students are expected to attend all classes, even if an exam is not being administered. Semester Dates: The final day of Semester 1 is Monday, February 3, and Semester 2 begins on Tuesday, February 4. Midterm Exam Schedule With Hills Pride, Tim Wieland
