Incoming 9th Grade Registration Process

We are excited to welcome our incoming freshmen and look forward to the day when we meet the Class of 2030! Prior to your student entering the PVRHSD, there are two important steps that need to be completed: Registration and Course Requests. Both the registration and course request processes are completed online in our Student Information System (Genesis).

Even if you have completed these steps previously for an older child, we ask everyone to carefully read the instructions below on how to complete the registration and course request process.

Please ensure that your student is registered, regardless of whether they will be attending Pascack Hills or Pascack Valley starting the 2026-27 school year.

9th Grade Course Request Selection Process

Please Note: Course Requests can only take place AFTER your student is registered with the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. If you have not yet registered your child, please click here. After registering, please allow at least two school days for your registration to be processed. We will notify you when registration is complete and you can continue with Course Requests.

Courses will be requested through the Genesis Parent Access platform.

Below is information regarding logging into Parent Access and timing of the process:

If you have already completed the registration process: Tuesday, January 27, you will receive an email with login information to the Genesis Parent Access platform.
- The email will be from: genesis@pascack.org.
- The subject will be: “Welcome to the Pascack Valley Regional Parent/Student Access System”.
- Please check your “SPAM” or “Promotions” folder.
- If you already have a student attending the high school, you will not receive this message, as you will use your existing Parent Access account.
Starting at 3pm on Wednesday, January 28, Course Requests will be available to parents and their current 8th grade students through the Parent Access System.
Course Requests are due February 11.
