Welcome!
Welcome back to another exciting school year. Our first month of school has flown by faster than we could have imagined. So many great events have already taken place and we are excited to share our experiences, news, successes and upcoming events with students, parents, family and friends. To accomplish this, we are attempting a community newsletter using smore.com. This user-friendly interface will help us deliver Parsippany Hills’ news at a fast and frequently changing rate. We hope you enjoy the material, and if anyone in our Viking community would like to contribute to the newsletter, please reach out to Mr. Coviello who has been gracious enough to put this together.
Applied Technology News
Acting Commissioner of Education Hespe visited Parsippany Hills on September 30th. The Applied Technology department displayed their talents to enhance the day. The choir sang our National Anthem. The band had a small contingent playing Jazz music as various Superintendents from New Jersey arrived. The art department provided beautiful artwork as a backdrop for the event. The event offered a great opportunity for the lessons learned in the classroom to come alive in a real world environment.
Guidance Corner - What is Team 9?
Team 9 was established at Parsippany Hills High School in 2000. The goal of Team 9 is to provide a structured environment to ease the transition from middle school to high school. Our Team 9 consists of over 20 teachers and a dedicated counselor for the 9th grade, Joanne Barkauskas. This team meets 44 minutes each day to discuss common issues across the grade level. Through this collaboration, Team 9 strives to address concerns that may face all students while offering the Freshman class opportunities for success.
Any concerns about specific classes should be addressed with the individual teacher. If a parent has a question regarding 9th grade Team, please contact Joanne Barkauskas @ jbarkauskas@pthsd.k12.nj.us
