LV Quarterly February – March 2019 Issue

Superintendents Message

Dear Lenape Valley Families:

The spring brings about much change – change from the dull, cold winter days to

the warming sun, growing grasses and extended daylight. This year, the spring also

brings about change from the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE)

regarding the rules for state assessments and graduation requirements. A simple

change is that of its name. The NJDOE has ended its membership of the interstate consortium that produced

the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers), using the same online

platform, though the state assessments will now be called New Jersey Student Learning Assessments – ELA

(NJSLA-ELA) and New Jersey Student Learning Assessments – Math (NJSLA-Math). This new assessment

reduces the number of testing blocks, which in turn reduces the amount of time to administer and gets

students and teachers back into their classrooms for learning.

My administrative team has found other changes to the assessments though to be quite frustrating. As most

recently as today, March 19th, the state has made yet another recommendation for testing. Since the start of

the school year, the state has made changes to its recommendations, which has repeatedly required schools to

re-look at and make changes to the testing plan. As of the March 18th memo from the NJDOE, Lenape

Valley Regional High School will follow the latest guidelines which now includes:

NJSLA Testing of all students in the ninth (9th) and tenth (10th) grades only.

As per the state guidelines, all students enrolled in English and Math courses are required to sit for

these assessments – there are no exemptions.

Although frustrating for my team to be “caught in the middle”, we have found that the results from the testing

have proven to be beneficial in preparation of curriculum needed to be successful on the state assessments.

We will continue to review and analyze the requirements and recommendations provided by the state

Department of Education and keep our students and families updated as necessary.

Mr. Claeys, Principal, has shared a letter with Parents/Guardians that provides additional information for test

takers and those not required to take the assessments. Please make sure to review that letter for additional

details. The letter also addresses the NJ Science Assessment for all Juniors in May.

Sincerely,

Paul DiRupo

Superintendent

The Year of the Pig

On Tuesday, February 5th, the Chinese Language Department and

International Friendship Circle celebrated Chinese New Year at Lenape

Valley. The day rang in the Year of the Pig, according to

was a welcome distraction for students and teachers.

LV Entrepreneurs

Lenape Valley Entrepreneurs is a Business Education Class taught by Mrs. Jennifer Cautero where students

simulate working for companies that they personally develop. Students begin the course with an employment

unit where they apply to a department such as: Administration, Human Resources, Accounting,

Sales/Marketing, Graphics/IT or Communications/Purchasing. Students are required to research careers of

interest, apply for a position within the companies by filling out job applications, cover letters and

resumes. Due to time constraints, this year, students were tasked with a hands-on interview by completing

specific duties that were related to the position that they were applying for. Mrs. Cautero and her students

collaborate with Mercer County Community College, to trade products with other students within the same

network- Virtual Enterprises, Inc. Students in this class learn 21st Century Career skills and daily business

tasks that provide the necessary background and experience for when they begin their careers. Here are

samples of the students’ creations and written work.

Accelerate is a new company that LV Entrepreneurs created for

this year’s class. We are an automobile rental company whose

demographic resides in large cities and our target customer rents

high-end vehicles for major events such as proms, bachelor and

bachelorette parties, weddings, and/or movie premiers. This is

the logo that we created and we are located out of Miami,

Florida.

Street Couture is a company that buys high quality

shoes and clothes then resells them for a premium

value. We purchase our inventory from other

corporations such as Nike, Adidas, and Vans. When

highly anticipated items sell out at retail level, they

gain value and can be resold for a higher price. This

is our logo.


LV Entrepreneur Students Learn Skills for their Office Jobs

Seniors, Joe Amato and Shayla Mozo received office equipment training

from Media Center Director, Mrs. Lauren Brill during the LV

Entrepreneurs class. Joe and Shayla are Office Managers for their

respective companies, HIPCA$H and Accelerate, and learned many office

skills from Mrs. Brill, such as how to:

use and fix the photocopier,

change toner in the photocopier,

laminate items and how to use the machine properly

change the toner and papers in printers,

trouble shoot problems with the printer,

use of the phone system, and proper phone etiquette

News from Club Advisors

FBLA (update from advisor, Mrs. Bardello):

Six students will be going to the State Level FBLA Competition in Atlantic City on March 20-22, 2019. They

will be competing in Personal Finance, Business Ethics and Emerging Business Issues. Good luck team!

Go Green (update from advisor, Mrs. Strodel)

Last month the Go Green Club collected 115 pounds of plastic for the Trex recycling contest, which will run

through April 15th. The Go Green Club encourages everyone to use reusable shopping bags when grocery

shopping and reusing all plastic shopping bags at home as much as possible before recycling them. Located

in the school's main office, there is a box for students, parents, and faculty to dispose of their everyday plastic

recyclable materials. These items include:

Bread bags Dry cleaning bags Salt bags Ice bags

Plastic bags Cereal Liners Plastic casing Plastic lunch/snack bags

Efforts to recycle will not only help to keep our environment plastic free, but if our school collects the most

plastic, we will win a free bench from Trex made of completely recycled goods for our school to use. We ask

that each member of our community participate to help make a difference in our community.

DECA trips, and did an amazing job!

LVR Service Art Club

Members of the Lenape Valley High School LVR Service Art

Club recently created an art exhibition for the celebration of

Youth Art Month (YAM). The month of March each year is

recognized as Youth Art Month in schools across the nation. The

theme for this year’s celebration is “Made In New Jersey.” The

LVR Service Art Club members produced posters, banners,

brochures, and announcements with this theme that focused on

making members of the Lenape Valley High School community

aware of YAM, the importance of art education for all students in

public schools, as well as famous artists from New Jersey.

Artworks generated by students in Mrs. Carnegie’s, Mrs. Christopher’s, and Mrs. McCullough’s art classes

were put on exhibit in the commons area of the high school for everyone to see. As a special feature of the

exhibit, LVR Service Art Club members conducted a doodling fun workshop during lunch in the commons

area on the first school day in March. All LVR students and staff were encouraged to participate. This art

activity was well received by the students and staff of Lenape. Mrs. Carnegie, advisor for the service art

club, said that the creation of the art exhibition was a great experience for club members because it gave them

an opportunity to work collaboratively on something that benefited the entire school community. In addition,

it was successful in making everyone at the school aware of the importance of art in education today.

Evening of the Arts and Paper Fashion Show

Lenape Valley's Evening of the Arts and Paper Dress Fashion

Show went off without a hitch! Many of Lenape's talented

students and staff members performed for the crowd. The

Puppet Shows

Lenape Valley High School students in Art for the School and Beyond art course recently conducted a

puppet show on famous artists for first graders attending Byram Lakes Elementary School, Netcong

Elementary School and Valley Road Elementary School. Prior to conducting the puppet show, the high

school art students researched famous artists, created puppets that looked like Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van

Gogh, Claude Monet, and Henri Rousseau, and made stages influenced by the styles of these well-known

artists as part of their service art class. After viewing the show, the elementary school students were engaged

in a crayon coloring activity related to the famous artist styles covered. The puppet show is a collaborative

project developed by high school art teacher Mrs. Carnegie and Byram Lakes Elementary art teacher Mrs.

Elena McTaggart, Netcong Elementary teachers Mrs. Marlene Baccaro, Mr. Robert DeKleine, and Mrs.

Francine Torsiello, as well as Valley Road School art teacher Ms. Leanne Sweeney. Mrs. Carnegie stated

that she and the other teachers love this collaborative project because all the students involved benefit in

some way from participating in it. The elementary school students benefit by gaining knowledge about

famous artists from art history, while the high school students benefit through teaching the younger boys and

girls about these artists. Mrs. Carnegie went on to say that it is due to her students’ tremendous efforts, her

professional relationship with the elementary school teachers, as well as the support of the administration at

all the schools that makes it such a successful activity for all involved.” The puppet show is an event that

Mrs. Carnegie and the elementary school teachers look forward to conducting together again in the future.

All-Schools Concert

The Lenape Valley Music Department, led by band director Mr.

DiGrazia and choir director, Ms. Kathleen Donahue, held their

annual all-schools, district wide, concert on February 5, 2019.

Middle school students from Byram Intermediate School, Stanhope

Valley Road School, and Netcong Elementary School were invited

to the high school for a full day music experience including a full

day music rehearsal and clinic on stage with the high school choir

and high school symphonic band. Students had the opportunity to

rehearse, learn, and perform with each other from grades 7 to 12. At

7:00 PM, all students from all schools had the opportunity to

perform 8 musical selections with the high school ensembles,

including selections from “The Greatest Showman,” and other concert repertoire pieces. This wonderful day

of music allowed our district middle school students to experience and see what Lenape Valley has to offer in

the performing arts department. Between all performing ensembles and all four schools districts, there was

over 150 students involved in the festivities.

On Wednesday, April 3, 2019, the award winning marching band will be visiting all school districts again in

the spring to recruit 7th and 8th graders for next year’s season.


Robotics Update from advisor, Ms. Woosnam

At the January 6th meet in Emerson, NJ, the LVR Robotics team finished five qualifying rounds in first place

to qualify for the semi-finals as team captain. With our alliance partners, Lenape Valley advanced to the

finals to win the day - first time ever! Although it was not a qualifier, the team strengthened their ranking

heading into the league tournament in February.

The team qualified for the state tournament by winning the top judged award, the Inspire Award, at the

league tournament. The Inspire Award celebrates the strongest qualities of all the judged awards. This win

was the first time Lenape Valley has won this honor! LVR Robotics also did well during the competition,

winning four of the five qualifying matches (our loss was by one point in the highest scoring and most

exciting match of the day) landing in third place to reach the semi-finals as an alliance captain.

On March 10th, the team traveled to Columbia High School in Maplewood for the state tournament.

Although the results were disappointing after all their hard work, students on the LVR Robotics team

represented the school with Patriot Pride and gracious professionalism. Early round mechanical problems

with our robot prevented us from advancing to Worlds and ended our competition season on Sunday. We

were proud to be competing with the best of more than 700 teams in New Jersey.

Soda Tab Collection to Benefit Ronald McDonald House

The unfortunate reality is that many of us know and love someone who is struggling with cancer. Many

families do not have high levels of support and often seek places like the Ronald McDonald House to help

endure treatments and life as it becomes when struggling with cancer. What can we possibly do to help?

This is where everyone comes in! The Ronald McDonald House collects soda aluminum soda tabs and uses

them to help children and families facing various forms of cancer. Sometimes it is in the form of a warm bed

in a safe neighborhood while undergoing treatment, sometimes it is a solid meal, maybe a warm blanket - but

it is something that helps the families and children who have this unfortunate path to walk.

Beginning on March 25th, Mr. De Kleine’s room will serve as

the drop off location for soda tabs. We are hoping to get the

entire LVR community involved. This will be ongoing -

there is no end in sight for this endeavor and the more we

collect the greater the good we as the Lenape Valley

Community can do for so many children in need. Reach out

to family & friends, the more we gather the greater the

outreach! Such a small item that can go a long way.
