A Note from the Interim Superintendent

The start of a new school year is always an exciting time, filled with possibilities and potential. The commencement of the 2011-2012 school year posseses a particularly invigorating spirit for Shore Regional High School District as the commemoration of its fiftieth anniversary begins in earnest. All

of the district!s stakeholders, whether they be alumni, commu-nity members or current students are welcome to help cele-brate this wonderful milestone. Please take an opportunity toreach out to the Shore Regional Education Foundation and getinvolved in making this yearlong event truly exceptional.

In addition to celebrating the district!s history, it is alsovital that all Shore Regional stakeholders observe the district!spresent efforts to foster a positive educational environment.Shore Regional has put forth sincere efforts to become compli-ant with new state legislation articulated in 2011!s Anti-BullyingBill of Rights. Shore Regional High School!s revised anti-bully-ing policy along with other anti-bullying efforts reaffirms thedistrict!s commitment to providing every student with a high-quality education, in a caring, safe environment.

Communication is vital to any organization. It isthrough communication that cooperation and collaborationoccur. Our students, teachers, support staff, parents, adminis-trators and community members who value progress can allbe part of a stimulating force when working toward a commongoal.

I am truly honored and excited to have joined theShore family. Shore Regional High School ranks among thepreeminent secondary schools in the state and unquestionablypossesses some of the finest academic, athletic and extracur-ricular programs. Such excellence energizes me, as it doesShore!s faculty, staff and students, with a pride that only “BlueDevils” know. Please continue to reach out to our administra-tion and staff so that together we can make a difference as weembark on this journey of excellence.

Sincerely,

Wondrous Possibilities Within New Beginnings

Blue DEVILS STAND AGAINST Harassment, Intimidation and BULLYING (HIB)

With the commencement of the 2011-2012 school year, Shore Regional High School District isproud to be in compliance with state mandates regarding new anti-bullying laws adopted in January2011. Shore Regional has fully embraced the new law and crafted a revised Harassment, Intimidationand Bullying (HIB) policy compliant with the state Department of Education's stipulations. Signed byGovernor Chris Christie in January, the bill passed in the Assembly and Senate in November 2010and has become known as the Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights. In preparation for implementation ofnew anti-HIB measures, Shore Regional administrators, teachers and staff have attended regionaltraining sessions to further gain insight into what has been called the toughest anti-HIB law of its kindin the nation.*

Per the new law, Shore Regional has appointed an anti-bullying specialist, an anti-bullying co-ordinator and formed an anti-bullying team to address HIB incidents. The new law requires special-ized investigations of reported incidents of HIB. Incidents may be reported in-person to any ShoreRegional employee, to the Vice-Principal's office or online via a reporting form hosted on the district'swebsite. Further anti-bullying training has been planned to meet new professional-development re-quirements for teachers and administrators. Educational presentations for students have also beenplanned to further bolster the HIB policy's implementation.
