Greetings, Falcon Family,
As you may be aware, there was a shooting on the PCTVS campus on the evening of 08/30/24. This event is traumatic for those who were present at the time, those who are kith and kin of those who were present at the event whether they attend MRHS or other schools, for those who attend PCTVS, and for all communities of Passaic County at large. PCTVS is not just our close neighbor but an institution dedicated to the safety of its constituencies just as we are dedicated to the safety of our students, staff, guests, and community members. At this time, we have offered additional counseling resources if they are needed when school is back in session as well as our thoughts and general support. That said, we will also have our own Crisis Response Team, Falcon's Lounge, and all School Counseling Services ready to provide support to any MRHS student affected by this traumatic event in any way. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if your child needs support. We will return to our normal office hours and our staff will fully return on Tuesday, 09/03/24. Finally, please know that we are currently and will continue to review our safety and security protocols with law enforcement to ensure not just the safest school day but the safest campus for all events that occur within the boundaries of our school District. Additional security measures will be put in place for campus events starting next week. More information regarding these measures will be shared directly with staff, students, and families prior to the return of students on 09/05/24.
Thank you for your time. We appreciate you. Stay safe and enjoy the remainder of the holiday weekend.
