  • Arriving to Class On Time

    The High School building is open to students at 8:05am. The first bell for the first period class rings at 8:15am.  Students are expected to be in their first period class and ready to learn by 8:20am. 

    Students who are late to school, disrupt the already shortened instructional time this year. 

    Once a student is marked as an unexcused late 3 times, he/she will receive a "Warning" from Ms. Barbour. 

    Once a student is marked late 6 times, he/she will receive a detention.

    Once a student is marked late 9 times, he/she will receive a detention for the 9th late and 1 detention for every single marked late thereafter. 

    Legal excuses are the only reason a marked late is excused. 

    We encourage all students to attend their classes on time as it is essential to the continuity of the learning environment.

Yearbook Order Reminder!

As we all adapt to change, one thing that remains constant is the yearbook tradition of documenting the history of our students and our school. Our yearbook staff is working hard to bring you a fantastic 2021 yearbook, commemorating this unique academic year.

Since copies are limited, we ask that you please order your yearbook online as soon as possible. We anticipate the number of books to print based on orders received by early March.  Although we do our best to make sure we secure enough extra copies, we are unable to guarantee a yearbook for those who order later in the Spring. 

Yearbooks are ordered directly through Jostens. This link can also be found on the Resources tab of the Pawling High School website. Please email yearbook advisor Erin Plati at platie@pcsdny.org with questions or concerns.

Exciting Things Are Happening in Precalculus Class!

How are a microwave oven and a Ring video doorbell related to the study of conjunctions and disjunctions in logic?  Our high school Precalculus students explored these connections during a recent activity involving circuits and logic ages.  Similar to the operation of a microwave which requires both the door to be closed and the start button to be pressed, students created a circuit that required two inputs to both be on in order for an LED to light.  This was accomplished through the use of an “AND” logic gate (logical conjunction).  Then, similar to the operation of a Ring video doorbell which begins filming either when the doorbell is pressed or when it detects motion, students created a circuit where either of two inputs could be on in order for the LED to light.  This was accomplished through the use of an “OR” logic gate (logical disjunction).  Finally, students were challenged to interpret how logic statements such as (p V q) ∆ (r ∆ s) would translate to circuitry.  Some students even created these more complex circuits:
