PRInTS 2026
Welcome to the Pequannock Township School District PRInTS 2026 website. This site will provide students and parents with the resources and materials to sharpen skills through meaningful practice and activities designed to prepare students for the upcoming school year.
For the subject areas of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies we sought to provide students with choices for reading, and to identify meaningful activities to engage students in summer learning and practice as well as share tools for tackling current events.
Assignments are not required, yet strongly recommended to stay current and avoid the summer slide.
Band Interest Form - Rising 5th Graders Only
Dear Parents,
As a Pequannock Fifth Grader, your child has the opportunity to join the instrumental music program and learn the basics of playing a band instrument. If your child would like to participate, the next step is choosing and obtaining an instrument. This can be done in one of four ways:
Instruments can be rented through The Music Shop in Boonton or ShamRock School of Music in Riverdale. All rentals are processed online.
A musical instrument can be purchased. Please contact me for guidance.
A musical instrument may already be owned or could be borrowed.
A limited number of instruments are available to borrow from the school district.
Former PV Band Director Mr. Jeff Foth and Mr. Rick Summers, a retired Pequannock Music Teacher, created a demonstration video that includes performances and explanations of the band instruments we currently offer. We have posted the video in the Fourth Grade Music Google Classroom.
Group lessons will be provided on the following instruments:
Flute, alto saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, baritone, xylophone (bell kit), and snare drum
For the first part of the school year, all lessons will take place on a rotating schedule. I will contact you at the beginning of the year with the finalized schedule. Please remember that the schedule is subject to change as per any changes in the reopening plan.
The lessons will take place at Hillview and will be limited to a single instrument section at a time.
If your child wants to participate in the instrumental program, please complete this registration form immediately. To ensure proper balance in the ensemble, every child must select a first and second choice. Please do not contact a rental company or purchase an instrument until you know the one approved for your child. I will follow up with you as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
William Vivino
ALL STUDENTS MUST PURCHASE THE “ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS 2000” BOOK
UNLESS IT IS INCLUDED WITH THE RENTAL
