ID Cards: Why do I need to carry my ID card everyday at school?
The Mahwah Township Public School ID Card is the official photo identification card for MHS students providing easy access to high school resources and a wealth of innovative technologies. Each student will receive an ID card in grade 9 that will be used throughout their entire high school career (all 4 years). The district provided ID card allows entrance into high school campus building, as well as the ability to print documents from FollowMePrint in the Media Learning Commons.
In addition, your Student ID bar code is on the back of your ID for scanning into the attendance office, guidance office, health office, Media Learning Commons, and selected social events.
The ID card is the property of Mahwah Township Public Schools and is non-transferable. Only the person pictured on the ID card is permitted to utilize the card and spend funds from their Payforit Account. ID cards will be confiscated if presented by someone other than the cardholder or if the card is involved in inappropriate or illegal use. Fraudulent use of the card will result in disciplinary action.
Replacement cards cost $10.00.
Report lost ID cards to the Main Office immediately.
Parking - Are juniors allowed to park on campus?
Due to the limited number of parking spaces available to staff and students, only senior class students will be permitted to park a vehicle on school grounds. There will be no parking for juniors for any reason. Juniors who park on school property risk disciplinary consequences, as well as not being issued a parking spot during their senior year.
Parking - Where should I park when I come to the high school?
All numbered parking spots in our parking lots are assigned to students and staff during school hours. If you are visiting the high school please park in a spot labeled visitor. These spots have been relocated to the three openings between the parking lot and the driveway in the front row closest to the building. You may also park in the driveway (left-side) if you need to come into the building for less than 15 minutes. Parking is not permitted along the yellow curb as it is a fire zone.
Registration - How do I register my student for high school?
Please call the Guidance office at 201-762-2311 or 201-762-2312 to set up an appointment and get all required paperwork.
