  • Bring on PARCC Expanding Knowledge & Skills on PANTHER Day NRC Pirates Win Public Service Announcement Competition Hallways
    April 16, 2018 Bring on PARCC School 9 and International High School held PARCC pep rallies to get students revved up for the New Jersey State PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) testing which begins today (testing dates vary by grade and runs through May 25th). Acting Superintendent Eileen Shafer also reached out to all families to ask parents and guardians for their help in ensuring students are well-rested and take advantage of our free breakfasts. School 9 is adding an extra incentive via their Attendance Task Force which is led by their 7th and 8th grade resource teacher, Ms. Majbour. She enforced the school’s "PARCC Into Fun" incentive, which will reward homerooms with the best attendance during PARCC, to a day of fun in their school gymnasium. You can see International High School’s pep rally on their school Facebook page. Let’s go Paterson! Expanding Knowledge & Skills on PANTHER Day The students of PANTHER Academy enjoyed a departure from their usual routine as they participated in special activities on March 28th – dubbed “PANTHER Day”. For the young women, the Girls Scouts of America sponsored a field trip for the students and staff to see the movie “Hidden Figures” at the Fabian Theater in Paterson. In keeping with the Girl Scouts motto to “build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place,” Lorena Kirschner, Girl Scouts Program Director, wanted to provide a real-life example of how women have shaped our world for the better. The movie “Hidden Figures” is based on a true story of three African American women with brilliant minds who worked at N.A.S.A.
