MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR/PRESIDENT

Summer 2012 Dear Parents and Students, Summer vacation provides an opportunity for many to get a bit of rest and relaxation and for families to spend a bit more time together. I hope you are finding that to be true for you. At the same time, St. John Bosco used to say, “For me, vacation is a different form of work.” And that is true for many as well. Our Salesian Community knows that reality. Fr. Manny is serving for five weeks as chaplain at Camp Echo Bay, a summer day camp for young people in New Rochelle, New York. And Br. Minh is studying Spanish in Quito, Ecuador for six weeks. Their absence is felt, and we look forward to their return in mid-August. Fr. James Mulloy will join our Salesian Community at that time as well, assigned here by Fr. Provincial to teach theology. Fr. Mulloy has spent most of his Salesian life teaching in the various high schools of our province, and we are blessed to receive him. Here on campus, much work is going into planning for the upcoming academic year. Some of it is the usual interviewing and hiring of new school personnel, the finalizing of the master schedule of classes, the acceptance of transfer students and the like. But we are taking some new projects in hand as well, some as set forth for us by our Centennial Strategic Plan. The new Summer Enrichment Academy is underway and going quite well. A 4-week academic program for boys entering the 7

th and 8

th grades, it has a very good enrollment and is proving to be both

educational and fun. Congratulations to Mr. George Mihalik, our Admissions Director, for launching this great initiative. The installation of SMART Boards in 25 classrooms is just about complete, along with their accompanying overhead projectors. Thus all of our 40 classrooms will now have this helpful technology in support of education. The proceeds of last spring’s Moment of Magic Auction were designated for this project, and we remain grateful for those who supported the auction. The restructuring of the Office of Advancement is underway, with the refounding of the Board of Trustees set in motion and a three-month search process begun for a Director of Advancement. We are working with Graham-Pelton Consulting, Inc., a leading fundraising consulting firm for nonprofit organizations, to bring our already good development efforts to the next level. And the renovation of our athletic fields continues, although, as capital improvement projects generally go, not without challenge! The resolution of some drainage issues had to first be accomplished before the new synthetic turf was laid in the upper field, extending that phase of the project. That complete, the recapping of the track was undertaken, but the extent of the repair work needed was discovered to be greater than first anticipated. So the decision was made to tear up the entire track and install a totally new one. That process is underway at the moment. Meanwhile, the permits have been filed with the Town of Ramsey for the renovation of the lower athletic field and we await approval. So summer is busy here at Don Bosco Prep. But it is all for the good, to improve the educational service we offer the young in the style and spirit of St. John Bosco. May your weeks be happy and holy. You can count on our daily prayers. Blessings to you, Father James Heuser, SDB Director/President

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Summer 2012 Dear Ironmen and Parents/Guardians, I hope this letter finds you well and that you have had the opportunity for rest, relaxation and quality family time during these summer months. As usual, the activity here at Don Bosco Prep continues throughout the summer with a variety of camps, summer enrichment programs and other activities going on-the campus that never sleeps! I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some items of importance as we approach the beginning of another school year. Student Orientations We welcome students back to the 2012-2013 academic year with the following schedule:

Tuesday, Sept. 4th: Orientation for Grade 9 from 7:25-1:40pm

Wednesday, Sept. 5th: Orientation for Grades 9 and 10 from 7:25-12:45pm

Thursday, Sept. 6th: Orientation for Grades 11 and 12 from 7:25-12:45pm

Friday, Sept. 7th: Mass of the Holy Spirit/First Day of Classes

Parent/Student Handbook Students will receive one copy of their Parent/Student handbooks in the fall, as part of their student agenda. A downloadable copy of the Parent/Student handbook is also available on the school webpage. I cannot stress enough the importance of reading through the handbook; this book contains all of the school’s policies and procedures and it is your legal agreement with the school in terms of these policies and procedures. There is an agreement form distributed separately which needs to be signed by both the student and a parent and returned to your homeroom teacher no later than Monday, September 10th. Any student who does not return the signed agreement will be unable to attend school after that date. Finally, you may have heard about the recent scandal regarding academic dishonesty at Stuyvesant High School in New York City. This prompted a number of articles in the past weeks about this growing problem in education, from elementary schools through graduate schools. I was struck by a piece written for The New York Times in which a student at Stuyvesant High suggested that one cause of this epidemic was a lack of true community among students and teachers. Too often, the student opined, students are inclined towards poor behavior and academic dishonesty where there are weak relationships. I would encourage all of us, adults and young people, to use these days to examine the quality of our relationships and to return to school in September with a renewed faith in one another and a commitment to building the Don Bosco community. So often, I am pleased to hear this word-“community”- as the strongest characteristic of our school. Let this new school year be a year where we continue to build our relationships of trust, faithfulness and love with one another. These relationships, and this sense of community, are at the core of Salesian education! Again, I hope you have had an enjoyable summer and are rested and ready for another great school year at Don Bosco! Know that my prayers are with you through the remainder of the summer. In Christ,

John Stanczak Mr. John Stanczak

FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR ACADEMICS

Dear Parents and Students, Although summer vacation has started, several important academic activities need to occur for various groups of students. First of all, all students have summer reading assignments. The reading assignments can be found on our Web site under Academics. Also, summer assignments for AP classes for the 2012-2013 academic year can also be found here. Second, any student who has failed any class is required to remediate that class, generally through summer school, before starting school again in the fall. Also, any student who was notified recently that they exceeded the number of cumulative absences, is required to attend summer school for the course with the lowest overall average before returning to school in September. It is the policy at Don Bosco Prep that failed classes must be made up before the start of the new academic year. Thus, no student will be allowed to attend classes starting in September unless the course has been successfully completed and documentation has been provided to the registrar’s office. Once the course(s) has been successfully completed, please provide the registrar office with the original summer school transcript so that your son’s academic records can be updated and a 2012-2013 course schedule can be given to your son in September. Please mail or hand deliver the original letter of completion or an official transcript from the institution he attended to the address below. It must clearly indicate: the name of the institution, the course(s), the dates attended, and the final grade. If you have any further questions, please contact Mrs. Judy Lawlor, Registrars Office at (201) 327-8003 Extension 113. Attention: Mrs. Judy Lawlor Registrar’s Office

Don Bosco Preparatory High School 492 North Franklin Turnpike Ramsey, New Jersey 07446

Finally, if you would like to request a change in your son's schedule or if you have a concern regarding your son's schedule, you will need to contact the guidance office or contact your son’s guidance counselor when student advisors return in September. You can locate your son's advisor on his course schedule or report card. Students at the sophomore, junior, and senior levels will have the same guidance counselor they had this year. Incoming freshmen will be assigned a guidance counselor the day they arrive on campus in the fall for freshmen orientation. There will be plenty of time for students at all levels, to meet with their counselors to discuss the possibility of dropping/adding a course. Any questions you may have over the summer regarding your son's schedule should be directed to Mrs. Judy Lawlor in the Guidance Office either in person, by phone at 201-327-8003 extension 113, or via email at jlawlor@donboscoprep.org. May the Lord grant you a safe, relaxing and productive summer.

Dr. Albert G. Del Principio Assistant Principal for Academics

FROM THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FOR STUDENT AFFAIRS

I hope this message finds you well and that you are enjoying the summer weather. While this

vacation time can be spent resting and recharging our mental and physical batteries, you should

also have started making plans for the beginning of the 2012-2013 Academic Year. Most of you

are aware of some of the points that follow, but a reminder is often useful, and those starting

here at DBP should be mindful of the following:

Please be reminded that the current dress code, as defined in the 2012-2013

Agenda/Handbook, will generally continue. There have been some clarifications

regarding items such as footwear and socks, and those changes are noted below. Since

the desired attire has been well documented, and adequate notifications have been

made, the school will rigidly enforce the dress code in the days to come.

Students and parents should not wait until the waning days of summer to contact

Flynn and O’Hara for orders/questions. The time allotted to become compliant has

been more than adequate. Please attend to uniform issues in a timely manner to

avoid problems at the beginning of the next academic year. “This uniform is

similar’’, “I didn’t have time” or “I’ve always worn this”, along with other potential

defenses, will not be accepted as valid excuses for the failure to comply with

uniform mandates. There is no “senior exemption” regarding the dress code.

Please be aware that when wearing the regulation shorts, a student may only wear solid

white sneakers-below the level of the ankle. Please refer to the new Agenda, if you

should have any questions. “Hi-tops” and/or footwear other than plain, solid white are not

acceptable with shorts. Sneakers that bear non-white stripping, logos or any type of

colored design are not acceptable. Only white socks, ankle to mid-calf in length, may

be worn with shorts. No extremes in length are permitted. Additionally, short athletic

socks may not be worn with formal attire- dress socks only.

Students who fail to conform to the mandated dress code will be subject to detention.

The failure to become attire-compliant after warning may result in suspension until the

issue is resolved

Prior to buying any outerwear, parents are advised to check with bookstore personnel as

to the appropriateness of wearing the garment on-campus. Not everything, such as

“hoodies”, can be worn on campus during school hours.

Parents and students are requested to make themselves familiar with the 2012-

2013 Parent/Student Handbook (Agenda) that will be distributed at the beginning

of school and will be available online at the Don Bosco website during the early

part of August.

Please enjoy your much deserved summer break. As always, please feel free to contact me with

any questions or concerns. Take care and be safe

I hope that you are enjoying your summer vacation.

I offer a few thoughts to help you start to focus on the upcoming school year:

1) You will gradually need to transition yourself back to the school schedule.

Reregulating your sleep and eating patterns may need some attention before

school starts.

2) If you have asthma or severe allergies, remember to have the paperwork I sent

home filled out by parent and physician and returned to me in September.

3) If you will need medication during school hours, Medication Authorization

Forms need to be filled out and returned with the prescribed medication, to the

Health Office in September.

4) Summer is a good time to catch up on outdated physicals. The forms for the

physicals are downloadable from the Don Bosco website under Health Services.

5) If you receive any new vaccinations, send documentation of this to the Health

Office.

6) If you sustained any injuries during the summer that may make attending gym

impossible,

bring documentation from your doctor that states this, and see me on return to

school to make other safety accommodations as needed.

In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the summer. I look forward to hearing all about it in

September!!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Cena RN, School Nurse

Project Child Find Attention Parents of Students in Non-Public Schools

Is a child in your life developing differently or having problems learning? If

so, help is available for eligible children.

The Region V Council for Special Education is sponsoring a Child Find pub-

lic awareness campaign to locate and provide services for unserved/

underserved youth, including migrant and homeless children, with a delay or

disability from birth through twenty-one years of age. Children may exhibit

physical, mental, language, or emotional difficulties.

How to Make a Referral

1. If your child is 5-21 years of age - If you would like to request an evalu-

ation for special education classification, send a written request for an evalu-

ation to your school principal. Include your child’s name, age, address and

suspected disability.

2. If your child is ages 3-4 that written request must be sent to the special

education department in the town where you live.

3. If your child is under the age of 3 - If your child should be crawling,

walking or talking but isn’t, call for information about resources and services

for your child under age 3. The New Jersey Early Intervention System

statewide toll-free number is 1-888-NJ-EI-INFO (1-888-653-4463).

A meeting will then be held with you and a team of evaluators who will de-

cide if an evaluation is needed and what the evaluation will include. They

will also review what interventions have already been put in place and by re-

viewing data will make a determination if the intervention is helping your

child or if further interventions are needed prior to an evaluation.

If your child is found eligible for Special Education services, an Individual

Service Plan (ISP) will be developed. Please be aware that special education

services detailed in an ISP (Individual Service Plan) for students in a non-

public school may be limited.

You as a parent also have the right to request and evaluation from the spe-

cial education department in the town where you live for your child to be eli-

gible for FAPE (Free and Appropriate Public Education). If a child is classi-

fied in a public school district, they are entitled to all services needed as per

their Individualized Education Program (IEP).

If you have any questions, please contact the

Region V office at 201-599-0585.

To All Don Bosco Parents,

Please consider joining the Don Bosco Prep Fathers’ Club. The Fathers’ Club is a social and

philanthropic organization that provides the parents of Don Bosco students the opportunity to

support the school community. Club members plan and staff social and fundraising events, run

the refreshment stand during varsity football games, and provide volunteers for many school

activities.

Over the course of the summer, we will be gathering for a few meetings to prepare for the

kickoff of the football season; snack shack clean up, inventory and restocking, the Freshman

BBQ and Touchdown Club BBQ. These are fun events which lead us into the busy fall football

season and our major fundraiser; running the Ironman snack bar. Last year’s net proceeds

funded more than $25,000 in scholarships and school activities.

It takes many volunteers to keep the snack bar operating, and we hope that you will consider

joining us this summer and/or fall. We have found that the more active and involved you are as

a Father of a DBP, the more likely that your son will be an engaged and contributing member of

the school community.

On behalf of all of us in the Fathers’ Club, I hope that you will find some time in your schedule

and become a part of the Fathers’ Club and contribute whatever time you may be able to afford.

If you are interested in joining, or have any questions, please call me at 973/495-9771, or email

me at dbpfathersclub@gmail.com. We look forward to having you as a member of the Don

Bosco Prep Fathers’ Club.

Sincerely,

Casey Meyer
