Good Afternoon Pequannock Township School District Families:

With September just around the bend, I hope your summer is winding down well. We’re completing our preparations for the 2024-25 school year and are excited to welcome our students back into the buildings on September 5th.

Back to School Night Dates

Our back to school nights have been posted on the district calendar. For your planning purposes, here are the dates for each level:

9/12 -- Elementary Schools

9/19 -- PV

9/26 -- PTHS

SEPAC Volunteers Needed

Please see the flyer from SEPAC (Special Education Parents Advisory Committee) and consider joining the organization.

Administrative Update

We are excited to welcome Mrs. Ann Marie VanSickle to our administrative team as our new Director of Curriculum and Instruction. Her official start date is September 1st, but she has already been hard at work with Dr. Sheridan to ensure the smoothest transition possible. Welcome to our new colleague as we bid a happy retirement to Dr. Sheridan. Also, Mrs. Debbie Iosso will be returning September 1 - October 31 to fill in for Ms. Branco as our Director of Student Services (PreK-5).

Week Ahead

Though it’s still summer vacation, our schools will still be busy with events. PTHS hosts the College Essay Writing Workshop on Tuesday, while PV and PTHS will host orientation sessions for new students on Wednesday. New students will be welcomed to the elementary schools on Thursday, and our football season kicks off Thursday night. After Labor Day weekend, we will welcome our staff back for two days of professional development and then it’s time for the best day on the calendar (other than Thanksgiving): the first day of school.

The opening of a new school year truly is an exciting time, and provides a fresh start that is loaded with opportunities and optimism. At the same time, the transition back can present some challenges and anxious moments as well, and I want to reinforce that we’re here to help one another to make sure our students, their families and our staff have the best experience possible. Whether your kids are heading back to college (just dropped off my youngest yesterday), starting PreK, or at any point in between, I hope you can enjoy the moments as they make those big next steps in life and continue to grow and learn. Have fun and see you soon!

Sincerely, Michael Portas Superintendent of Schools

If you were following the story of our PTHS ducks who were born and raised in our courtyard, they finally flew out last week!
