Week 11/5




Mandatory Department Meeting - Tomorrow - November 6th. 
  • FX Media Center - please be punctual 
  • Our department meeting on November 6th is mandatory.  We will have a presentation by the district HIB specialists Mr. Frederick and/or Mr. O'Brien will provide a presentation at department meetings to help staff better understand what constitutes HIB as opposed to disciplinary issues.
  • Coaches are to make arrangements with assistants to cover your practices for approx. 45 minutes on that day and tutoring and after-school activities should be canceled ahead of time or arrange for someone to cover you.  
  • If you are not attending, please email me with details. 
Team Meetings
  • Our next team meetings are scheduled for November 15th. The schedule is posted on the Department Page...


Class Coverage Requests - please copy me on any coverage request you enter into coverages@pcti.tec.nj.us.

*IF YOU ARE REQUESTING COVERAGE FOR MORE THAN 3 CLASSES, WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO ENTER THAT REQUEST INTO AESOP...

The following processes will be implemented when requesting class coverages:
  • Faculty who will need a class/period coverage for reasons other than IEP meetings or PLC meetings will need to email the request for coverage to coverages@pcti.tec.nj.us. I will arrange coverages for your team meetings.
  • Child Study Team Secretaries arranging IEP meetings will send the needed faculty coverages to coverages@pcti.tec.nj.us. A listing of all coverages for a particular week should be included in the email.
3. Last-minute coverages (i.e. for illness, requested presence during a crisis or critical meeting) should be phoned into Ms. Scott. Do not use coverages@pcti.tec.nj.us for same-day or last-minute coverage needs.

My suggestion is to always check with Judith in the main office in the morning to confirm that coverages were arranged.

Coverage attendance advice:  (this is courtesy of our own Christian McFarland...) 
"On the sub attendance website, you must choose the name of the teacher you are covering for and not your own! I made this mistake at first and then realized I needed to log back in under her name."  
1. Go to the special substitute link: https://ps.pcti.tec.nj.us/subs
2. Select Passaic County Technical Institute
3. Select the teacher you’re covering for
4. The password is the numerical day of the month followed by “Bulldog” with a capital B
5.  EG.  The password for 9/27/18 would be: 27Bulldog
6.  The following day, the password would be 28Bulldog – and so on…
7. Take attendance as normal

Wonderful things...  Please submit pics of the wonderful things in your life!  If no one submits, I may have to creep around and sneak attack you! Just sayin...

Bobby, Stephanie, and Dave took their AP Lit and Honors IV students to see Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera House!  (Don't they look happy? And how long will it take for one of them to come to my office and complain about posting this?)

Our Boys Varsity Soccer Won the County Tournament!  Did Klein bleach his hair?  We cannot know - Only the hat knows...
