October 27, 2017   Dear MPHS Parents/Guardians,  The Midland Park Public High School remains committed to doing whatever possible to help improve the health and well-being of our students, and we know our schools can be powerful places when seeking to foster positive behavioral and environmental changes for students and staff.  Toward that end, we are working toward attaining the Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification, an important recognition indicating our school’s success in conserving resources and implementing green measures.   To help make our schools healthier, MPHS has formed a Green Team to create more sustainable goals, policies and actions.  As the success of our sustainability efforts depends on the collaboration of school and community, we hope you will join us in attaining one of our identified goals: Reducing motor vehicle idling on school grounds. Did you know? Idling is ILLEGAL for more than 3 minutes. Just 10 seconds of idling uses more gasoline than restarting your car. Idling harms your engine and exhaust system. Vehicles emit carcinogens, smog-forming chemicals and greenhouse gases. Vehicles that idle 10 minutes per day waste more than 29 gallons of fuel per year. Exposure to some pollutants from idling is actually higher inside the vehicle than at roadside. Children are especially vulnerable to the dangers of idling:  they breathe faster than adults, inhale more air per pound of body weight, and stand closer to tailpipe level. In an effort to attain this goal, MPHS has: Posted “anti-idling” signs in the front and rear of the buildings where morning drop off and afternoon pick up occur. Anti-idling pledges have been sign by bus drivers. Incorporated anti-idling education in the curriculum.   Please help support this Green Team initiative by NOT idling on school grounds.  Together, we can make Midland Park High School a healthier place for students and staff.   Sincerely, Nicholas Capuano Principal
