I hope you all look better then I did in 4th grade.

Thursday, October 17, all 10th and 11th-grade students will take the PSAT/NMSQT. You can take a look at the CollegeBoard site to learn more about the PSAT/NMSQT.

Please review the PSAT/NMSQT letter shared from our School Counseling Department. This letter has everything you need to know to support your student and prepare for the day.

Parents, if you have a student-driver, please encourage them to drive safely at all times. This past week had to remind our seniors to drive safely in the student parking lot multiple times. Parking in the student parking lot is a privilege. All student-drivers must abide by the speed limit in the parking lot (10 MPH). Student-drivers must also follow all borough, county, and state traffic laws.

The Paramus Police Department monitors the student parking lot and citations may be issued to student-drivers not abiding by the appropriate laws. Additionally, unsafe driving in the student parking lot may result in revocation of parking privileges
