Climate Survey

Last spring the District administered a climate survey as part of an ongoing effort to assess collective perceptions of school culture, discipline, and general school climate. To continue our efforts to address the overall school experience for students and families, we will be administering the survey again to students in grades 4-12 as well as parents the week of June 2.

Data will be used to evaluate current efforts and growth in areas such as anti-bullying and character education. If you have any questions or wish to see the student survey beforehand, please contact Dr. O'Keefe at daniel.okeefe@pequannock.org. If you wish to opt your child(ren) out of the survey, kindly complete this form no later than May 31, 2025.

Important Dates

The NB Environmental Club is hoping to help reduce the amount of garbage going to landfills by collecting items that can be recycled into outdoor furniture, decking and other durable items. The young environmentalists made a presentation to each class showing everyone how they can help. If you use any of these products, please collect them and send them into school with your students. We are also collecting clean plastic bags and plastic film. Labeled collection boxes are located in the lobby by the gym and in the APR. Thank you for helping reduce landfill waste!

Thank you!

The North Boulevard HSA Fundraiser, "Sips and Giggles" on Friday, May 30th at The Brownstone will feature three comedians, including Pequannock's very own Ryan Lynch and Vanessa Tropona, starting at 7:00 PM. Doors will open at 6:30.

Plenty of great good, belly laughs and tricky tray prizes will make this a fun-filled night!

Also, the NB HSA is respectfully seeking baskets or prize donations for the chance auction at the event. All baskets will be on display and will be marked with a sign naming the contents of the basket and thanking the generous donor(s). As a prize donor, you will also be named on the website and in the event program.
