What a fun and exciting month it has been! The Beauty and the Beast musical was absolutely astounding! Our cast, pit performers, and backstage crew delivered an extraordinary show that left us in awe. Each member poured their heart and soul into their roles, and their dedication truly shone on stage. We couldn't be prouder of their remarkable talent and hard work. Congratulations to everyone involved for a truly unforgettable production!

We would also like to express our gratitude for your assistance as we continue to prioritize school attendance. We understand that attendance is an essential component of academic success, particularly when we all work together to ensure every student attends school. Your ongoing support is invaluable and greatly appreciated.

Furthermore, we encourage ongoing discussions regarding responsible and respectful social media usage among students. It's crucial to emphasize the importance of posting safely and kindly online. We want to bring attention to the existence of social media platforms that incorporate 'PVMHS' and graduation dates but are neither approved nor affiliated with our high school. Your engagement in these conversations is highly valued as we strive to uphold a safe and positive learning environment.

The Paul V. Moore High School Adminstrative Team hopes that you all had a relaxing February break with your friends and family. We look forward to the remainder of Winter and eagerly await the arrival of Spring.

Please click the buttons below for letters regarding important Spring ACT and SAT information.

Please click the registration links below to register for tests.

PSAT/NMSQT: The PSAT/NMSQT stands for the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which students take as a Sophomore or Junior. Taking the PSAT/NMSQT is more than just good practice for the SAT, and the scores are more than just a number. With your child’s results, they can:

• See where they are and set a target
  
• Find out about their AP Potential
  
• Enter the National Merit Scholarship Program
  
• Help pay for college
  
• Connect to their future
  

Why take the SAT exam?: Most colleges—including those that are test optional—still accept SAT test scores. Together with high school grades, the SAT can show your potential to succeed in college or a career.

Why take the ACT test?: The ACT is a good value because it offers a college admissions test, college course placement, and a career planning component for one modest fee. And you can make yourself visible to colleges and scholarship agencies across the country by taking the ACT. It’s a complete package of services to help you get ready for life beyond high school.

Additional Information:

• If you are planning on attending a four-year college or university, check each college's website to see if they require these test scores. Many colleges have adopted a test-optional policy.
• It is advisable to consider taking each test at least once (take the ACT with the writing section; the SAT no longer offers the writing section).
• If you are enrolled in a community college and intend to pursue your Associate's Degree, it's important to note that these tests are not mandatory.
  
• If your plan involves beginning your academic journey at a community college and transferring to another institution before completing your degree, it's worth considering that you may be required to provide these test scores.

For more information, please visit https://www.collegeboard.org/, http://actstudent.org, or reach out to your School Counselor for additional questions.

Covid-19 testing kits are now available for your convenience. Please contact the school at 315-668-4231 to obtain them. Kindly note that these kits must be picked up in person and will not be sent home. Thank you.

Our Central Square students are having a blast at Unified Bowling. Just look at those smiles!

Students celebrated 'PS I Love You Day' on Friday, February 9th, by wearing purple and encouraging everyone to spread love to the world, to others, and most importantly, to themselves. They were also given the opportunity to write a note for someone special or a note to themselves to serve as a reminder that they are loved. Please see the display of notes in the picture below.

In June, the Class of 2023 was able to provide many fun celebrations for the outgoing Seniors. They included cotton candy, kettle corn, specialty lemonades, soft serve ice cream, donuts, and French fries. The Seniors loved it and it was fantastic seeing them so happy.

We would not have been able to do this without the funds we raised throughout the years. We do, however, recognize the financial hardships the last few years have presented and thus affected fundraising participation.

Being parents ourselves, we often feel stressed by fundraising pressures. We have heard many family members state that they would rather make a donation to the cause. For that reason, we invite you to participate in our Opt-Out Fundraiser by making a yearly donation of $20.00, (however, any amount will be accepted and appreciated.) If you choose to participate in our Opt-Out fundraiser, please send a check with your child during the month of November made out to their respective class, with your child’s name on the memo line. Cash is accepted, as well. Please have your child bring the donation to the advisor(s) in the locations below. Please make sure donations get put into the hands of the advisor and are not left unattended. Thank you.
