13-14 NV PD Catalog
The Spring Edition of the Focus, the newsletter for the Waldwick Public Schools, is posted on the district website. Spring Edition of the Focus
Turnitin.com will undergo some scheduled maintenance Saturday, May 11. This maintenance may interfere with some assignments as the site/system will be unavailable at that time. All due dates should be moved up or delayed until the following week to avoid any problems.
School Safety Issues
As a staff, we need to stop leaving exit doors open during the school day. Recently, I have seen many doors propped open by a stick or rock. There should be NO doors propped open during the school day. In addition, the senior wing doors and the custodian entrance/lower lot door keeps being unlocked during the day. All staff should be entering the building using the Main Entrance or Greenberg Center where you can use the code or be buzzed in.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Waldwick HS will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week during the week of May 27th.
Wednesday, May 29 - Breakfast/Lunch provided by the parents
Thursday, May 30 - FREE Neck/Hand massages (Signup info to follow)
NJ Biology Competency Test will be administered on May 21 & 22
Staff members that are proctoring will be notified early next week. There will be a testing meeting setup after school for all proctors. The date of the testing meeting will be included when you are notified to be a proctor. Testing will take place in the Cafeteria and in Rooms 417 & 310. The rest of the school will move as normal.

Link to 12-13 Final Exam Schedule
On Monday, June 24, part of the Professional Development Day will be devoted to reviewing and explaining the new Student Growth Objectives (SGOs). Dr. Raupers will be speaking to the entire district on the topic. At this point all HS teachers (all subjects) will have to create two SGOs that I have to approve. The SGOs need to be submitted by November 15 for the 13-14 school year. All future year's SGOs will be due by October 15.
