-== 2007 Threat ==
-stop taking this off. i am a student that goes to pascack valley high school. and this really did happen. stop removing it.
-*The fact that it occurred, does not make it encyclopedic. Not only is the May 2007 incident unsupported with a reliable and verifiable source as required, it wasn't even mentioned in ''[[The Record (Bergen County)|The Record]]'', the area's main newspaper. Even with sources it probably doesn't belong here. Without them it cannot be retained. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] 23:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
-*Why wouldnt it belong here its a fact and it happened. ask anyone who goes there they know it happened. So i am going to post it back up there. you probaly work for the school and dont want this up there. It happned so its going up there
-*Wikipedia requires sources. See [[WP:ATT]] for details of Wikipedia's attribution policy. The fact that somebody "knows" it happened doesn't help unless there are [[WP:RS|reliable]] and [[WP:V|verifiable]] sources to support the fact that the event happened. To be absolutely honest, I'm not even sure where the school is located. If you have any sources to support this event, I will be more than happy to assist you in adding the material. Any material added in violation of policy will be removed. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] 22:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
-*I have proof that this event did occur if you read the article [http://www.mycommunity.com/all/MyCommunity/Details_story/Graffiti_causes_PVRHS_evacuation/view.php?action=Detail&type=story&sub_id=18431&area=&category=19&domain_username=CommunityLife&PHPSESSID=62cbc410cfd1283b0d1a5a9247cdb290 link title] you will realize this event did take place. So i am going to post this back up on wikipedia i have shown u proof now stop taking this off. Thank you
-::Well, it is verified.  I doubt if this ia a major incident in the school's history (when I went there was a stink bomb that evacuated the school, in 1980, so these things have happened).  I doubt it is encyclopedic, though, but I have no desire to spark an edit war, so I say leave it for now and re-evaluate later.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] 11:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
-:::Looking at it again from a year on, it is recentism.  I've deleted it again.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 12:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
-::::This is not a significant part of the school's history.  I'm not sure why everyone finds it so important that it must keep being readded.  [[User:Jdolno7brand|Jdolno7brand]] ([[User talk:Jdolno7brand|talk]]) 02:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
-==Article history==

-I just deleted the claimed 30% drop in GPA from the 1:1 laptop section, primarily because it was uncited. Additionally, I was a student at PVHS for the first two years of the 1:1 initiative, and my personal feelings are that there may have been a small decrease, but nothing as drastic as 30%. I went down a third of a point, and I'm fairly average. Obviously anecdote counts for little to nothing, but making such a sweeping claim without verification or citation is incorrect. --[[User:129.21.110.20|129.21.110.20]] 02:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
-:I rephrased it.  Evidently, there WERE concerns, or they wouldn't have gone to the restricted setup.  I've done a lot of rephrasing and updating, but I'm an alumnus, and someone who goes or teaches there now really needs to go through the article carefully for accuracy and the like.  There were some embarrassing grammatical errors.  Unworthy of the #23 public high school in New Jersey.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] 12:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
-==From the Extracuricular activities section==
-"The school recently began cut its German program and it will be phased out in two years." OK, so did the school recently begin its German program, recently cut it, or both? In any case, this needs to be rephrased. (Since it is to be "phased out in two years" - from when? - one would assume that it was recently cut...) -- [[User:Pawl Kennedy|Pawl]] 20:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
-: I imagine the intent was to say that German I would no longer be offered, but that students already in the program would be allowed to complete it.  But what do I know?--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] 21:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

-==Dr. Sapienza==
-Yesterday, I received the following email on the school listserv:
-January 29, 2008
-Dear Parents,
-I have some very sad news for our school community.  Dr. Barbara Sapienza, principal of Pascack Valley High School, had knee surgery last Wednesday due to an arthritic condition.  Shortly after the operation, she went into a deep coma.
-At this date, Dr. Sapienza remains in a coma, and we can not anticipate the outcome of her current condition.
-I am writing to you to ask that you discuss this situation with your child. It is most important that you talk to your child about this and listen to what he or she has to say. Some may be more affected than others. In all cases, please be supportive and empathetic.
-On Wednesday, during first period, all teachers will be reading a script about the situation with their students. We use a script so that all students will receive the same message. Teachers will take as long as they feel is needed for discussion and will resume instruction as they deem appropriate.
-After the first period discussion, our counselors and Child Study Team, under the guidance of the Bergen County Trauma Response Team, will be available to assist and comfort any student or staff member in need.
-Dr. Sapienza has been in the district for 40 years, serving as principal for the past 14 years. Our students, staff and community will be deeply affected by her absence.  She has dedicated her life to Pascack Valley High School and her commitment to our entire community has been extraordinary.
-At this time Mr. Tom DeMaio, who has been an assistant principal at Pascack Valley High School, will be the acting principal.
-PLEASE DO NOT TALK TO YOUR CHILD ABOUT THIS SITUATION UNTIL HE OR SHE HAS COME HOME.  STUDENTS WILL NEED YOUR GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT AS THEY HEAR THIS SAD NEWS TODAY.
-I will keep everyone informed as we learn more about the situation.
-Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
-Ben Tantillo, Superintendent
------------------------
-I am putting this on discussion page because I felt that if I just posted the info without it, it would be assumed that it was likely to be vandalism.  However, the info does not seem to be on the school website yet, so I don't know if we have a WP:V problem or not.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 02:50, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

-== Porn incident ==
-I just don't think the porn incident is very notable.  Just because it is recent, and in the paper, doesn't mean we should include it.  It is not really relevant to PV's history.  There have been other incidents from time to time.  This really isn't important.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 11:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
-:There are certainly many other scandalous or surprising incidents that happen in the school every few years. I agree that this doesn't deserve any more note than any other.  I'll delete it. [[User:Jdolno7brand|Jdolno7brand]] ([[User talk:Jdolno7brand|talk]]) 02:39, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
-::I agree.  But a user reverted me last time I deleted it.  It is very much recentism.--[[User:Wehwalt|Wehwalt]] ([[User talk:Wehwalt|talk]]) 10:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
