The information contained in this handbook is provided to our students and parents to make their years at Dumont High School productive and enjoyable. It is the responsibility of students and parents to familiarize themselves with the contents of this handbook to ensure an educationally beneficial climate. As the first Secondary Professional Development School in New Jersey we are committed to the creation of an environment in which everyone is a life-long learner. A PDS is similar to a teaching hospital in that we are constantly conducting research into what teaching methods contribute to the most effective learning for our students. The faculty and administration remain committed to providing you with an educational program that will enable you to succeed now and into the twenty-first century. Best wishes for a successful high school experience. Maria Poidomani, Principal MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Dumont High School, as a Professional Development School, is to be a center of continuous learning for both students and staff. To achieve this goal, the school will promote a current, comprehensive and flexible curriculum that provides all members of the school community with multiple opportunities to achieve their fullest potential now and in the future. ACCREDITATION Dumont High School has been an accredited member of the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools since 1939. The school has also been approved by the New Jersey Department of Education. Definite standards of instruction, scholarship and achievement are maintained and our graduates have been admitted to colleges and universities throughout the nation. GOALS FOR DUMONT HIGH SCHOOL Dumont High School, while providing for students’ individual differences, needs, and interests, should assist students to: 1. develop the academic skills required for success in school or work. 2. develop good character, self-respect and good citizenship. 3. develop social and personal skills to get along with people. 4. develop an appreciation of the arts. A complete list of our goals may be obtained in the office of the principal. 2 DUMONT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT Dumont, New Jersey TO: Parents/Guardians of Dumont Public Schools’ Students FROM: James J. Montesano, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: School Closings: Inclement Weather/Emergency Situations DATE: September 2007 At times during the school year it becomes necessary to close the schools because of inclement weather or emergency situations. The following radio/cable stations will carry the announcement regarding school closings*: FOX 5/WNYW Channel 5 Website: www.fox5ny.com WOR Website: www.wor710.com WINS Dial 1010 (AM) Website: www.1010wins.com WNBC Website: www.nbc4.com/closings Cablevision News 12 New Jersey Website: www.news12.com The Dumont School District’s website: www.dumontnj.org will also announce school closings. Parents/guardians and students are requested not to phone the police department for school closing information since this ties up the police switchboard. Please listen to radio station WINS (DIAL 1010 [AM]), watch “Good Day, New York” (Fox 5/WNYW), Cablevision Channel 12 (News 12 New Jersey), or visit the websites noted above. In the event that schools must be closed after students have already arrived for the day, the elementary schools will use their emergency notification plan through the homeroom parents, and the high school will dismiss students after procedures have been announced to them. Because many of our parents/guardians work full time and no one is home to receive the students, we try to keep students in school until the end of the school day. If you wish to have your child at home (during inclement weather), you may come to the school and pick up your child. We will not dismiss the student through a phone call. In unusual situations, a delayed opening will be used. The radio/cable stations will also carry the delayed opening announcement. In the event of a delayed opening, the schools will open at 10:00 a.m. Please do not send students to the schools before that time. The decisions to keep the schools open or to close them are made based on the best information available at the time. The right decision at 5:00 a.m. may appear to be the wrong one at 8:00 a.m. You have the right and the responsibility to make your own decision. Updated 7/30/07 *Above radio/cable station information may be subject to change. 3 Dear Parents/Guardians, 4 DUMONT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT 25 Depew Street Dumont, New Jersey 07628 September 2007 TO: Parents / Guardians of Dumont Public School's Students FROM: James J. Montesano, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools SUBJECT: SCHOOL DISASTER SURVIVAL PLANNING Physical protection of every school student is a responsibility of all school personnel. Not only are we concerned about safety in the traditional school environment, but we all hope to take every reasonable precaution to protect students from possible disaster. The New Jersey State Board of Education has directed that each school district develop a written plan establishing policies for the protection of students at all times and that each school district provide instruction in survival techniques to deal with problems encountered in a disaster. The Dumont Board of Education and the local Civil Defense Emergency Director have directed that schools will be dismissed and students required to proceed to their homes in the event of a disaster for which sufficient time is available to accomplish this "go home" movement. This plan was inaugurated for two reasons: 1. The inadequacy or our present school buildings to afford protective shelter. 2. The knowledge that families wish to be united when disaster threatens. There is now only one Civil Defense signal in use to warn the public of a community disaster or an attack against this country. This is a three to five minute wavering tone on sirens or a series of short blasts on horns or other devices repeated as necessary. If this signal sounds while school is in session, school populations will be placed immediately in the best available shelter. If it is determined by Civil Defense authorities that sufficient time is available for students to go home, schools will be dismissed in practically the same manner as they are every school day. Walkers and bicycle riders will be dismissed immediately. Bus students will leave on the regular bus when it arrives for them. Students who have to remain at school for any length of time will be under the constant supervision of school personnel in a designated "Shelter Area". Please discuss this procedure with your children and instruct them where they shall go in case you are not home when they arrive. Thank you. 5 Annual Integrated Pest Management Notice For School Year 2007 – 2008 Dear Parent or Guardian: This notice is being distributed to comply with the New Jersey School Integrated Pest Management Act. Dumont Board of Education has adopted an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Policy and has implemented an IPM Plan to comply with this law. IPM is a holistic, preventive approach to managing pests that is explained further in the school’s IPM Policy included with this notice. All schools in New Jersey are required to have an Integrated Pest Management Coordinator (IPM Coordinator) to oversee all activities related to IPM and pesticide use at the schools. The IPM Coordinator for Dumont School System is: Glenn R. Byrd (201) 387-3057 Dumont High School, 101 New Milford Ave. Dumont, N.J. 07628 The IPM Coordinator maintains the product label, and the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) (when one is available), of each pesticide product that may be used on school property. The label and the MSDS are available for review by a parent, guardian, staff member, or student attending that school. Also, the IPM Coordinator is available to parents, guardians, and staff members for information and to discuss comments about IPM activities and pesticide use at the schools. As part of a school pest management plan Dumont Board of Education may use pesticides to control pests. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) register pesticides to determine that the use of a pesticide in accordance with the instructions printed on the label does not pose an unreasonable risk to human health and the environment. Nevertheless, the EPA and the DEP cannot guarantee that registered pesticides do not pose any risk to human health, thus unnecessary exposure to pesticides should be avoided. The EPA has issued the statement that where possible, persons who are potentially sensitive, such as pregnant women, infants and children, should avoid unnecessary pesticide exposure. Very truly yours, Kevin Cartotto James J. Montesano, Ed. D. School Business Administrator Superintendent of Schools 6 SCHOOL CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM Dumont High School has a School Crisis Response Team (SCRT) comprised of teachers and administrators. The team meets to discuss and address issues as they arise. In the event that an emergency evacuation due to a crisis is required, the following plan will be implemented: DUMONT HIGH SCHOOL EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS Letters A to K- Students would be evacuated to Selzer School where they would be housed in the Selzer Gymnasium.

Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington. Sir: Many students apply for admission to higher institutions in other States and sections than those in which they have received their high-school preparation. Many also seek certificates from ex¬ amining and licensing boards, which have no direct means of know¬ ing the standards of the schools from which the applicants come. The demand for this information led the Bureau of Education, first in the spring of 1913 and again in the autumn of 1914, to undertake the collection and preparation of lists of high schools and academies accredited by State universities, approved by State departments of education, or recognized by examining and certifying boards and by certain other agencies. The demand proved to be even greater than had been anticipated. The first edition of the bulletin was soon exhausted. There have be^n many requests from college and uni¬ versity officers for copies of the second edition. Moreover, changes are made in these lists of accredited schools from year to year.

  • 2015-2016 New Jersey High Schools Academic Rankings
    TENAFLY HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC RESEARCH 1 2015­2016 New Jersey Public High Schools Academic Rankings C. Bucca, M. Guo, M. Hill­Oliva, J. Laufer, D. Shin, Q. Wang, M. Weiss, J. Xing Class of 2016, Tenafly High School ­ Tenafly, New Jersey ​ June 16, 2016 Abstract The correlation between the AP indices and the average composite SAT scores—for the top 100 New Jersey public schools—was analyzed to determine how indicative the two factors are of student performance. Since these two indices appeared to be highly correlated, according to the calculated R squared value, they were the only factors considered in the novel ranking methodology described in this paper. Using 2015­2016 school data, AP indices were averaged with the SAT indices for the top 100 schools in order to generate a 2015­2016 ranking of those schools. A chi­squared test proved that there was no statistically significant difference among the top 25 schools’ data. These findings suggest that it would be more appropriate to devalue the method of ranking these schools individually, and, instead, switch to a tier ranking system. This paper also goes on to predict the 2015­2016 rankings for the top 30 New Jersey public schools—based on average composite SAT scores—according to the New Jersey Monthly 2014 ​ ​ methodology. Lastly, the correlation between middle school PARCC and high school SAT scores was analyzed. The results showed that they were weakly correlated, which implies that, in general, academic performance of middle school students is loosely associated with that of high school students.
