Dear Student Parent/Guardian,

Due to the inclement weather, Paterson Charter School for Science and Technology was forced to add two more days to the academic school year. Due to this, the high school graduation day was rescheduled to June 19, 2017 when it was originally June 15, 2017. Since the date was abruptly changed, many of my classmates and their families do not have the option to reschedule or alter their post graduation plans. Thus, many of my classmates cannot walk across the stage to receive their hard earned diploma, an accomplishment they have been waiting four years to obtain.

We are proposing a new solution where the graduation ceremony itself will be on June 15th and the last day of school will still be the 19th, that way the seniors who cannot attend the 16 and the 19 can utilize their unexcused absent days. That way PCSST can complete the state requirement of 180 days of student instruction and our graduation won't be compromised.

If you agree with changing the graduation date back to June 15 2017 please sign below:
