STEVEN R. COHEN, PH.D., SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS July 2012 Dear Members of the Shoreham-Wading River Community, It is with great sense of enthusiasm and optimism that I welcome you to the 2012-2013 school year. There is much to be proud of as our students and faculty continue to display excellence in their academic and extracurricular achievements. Many of our graduates are attending prestigious colleges and universities and have been the recipients of numerous awards and scholarships. In addition, the students make us proud each year as they pursue their philanthropic efforts to assist those less fortunate here in the community and abroad. Though the District and New York public schools are faced with increasing financial challenges and mandates, I am confident that the 2012-2013 school year will reflect the same level of commitment and successes as in years past. It is only through working together, through a school-community partnership, that we can consistently move forward in providing a stellar educational program and co-curricular activities for the children of this community. This calendar is designed to assist parents in navigating through the academic year and contains a wealth of information regarding our programs, services, and activities. I encourage everyone to attend the special events included on these pages and enjoy the many accomplishments of our talented students. Additionally, I encourage the community to explore the District website, www.swrschools.org, which provides the most current information and highlights the many achievements of our students and faculty. As always, it is an honor to serve the Shoreham-Wading River community and I remain committed to the success of our school district. Together, our talented students, dedicated staff, caring parents, supportive Board of Education and loyal community have helped make the Shoreham-Wading River School District a wonderful learning community. Let me extend my best wishes for a successful and exciting school year. Sincerely, Steven R. Cohen, Ph.D. Superintendent of Schools Because Schedules and Meeting Dates can change throughout the school year, the District encourages its residents to utilize our interactive calendars located on the District’s website.
