A GUIDE TO SHORE ATHLETICS Physical activity plays an integral role in a child’s education at Shore. From movement ​ exploration in the lower grades to team experiences in the upper grades, we promote positive attitudes towards physical fitness and working cooperatively with others. A ​ lifelong pursuit of physical activity and a healthy approach towards teamwork and competition are primary goals of the physical education and athletic program at Shore.

Daily ​ practices/rehearsals take place four days per week from 2:50 - 4:05pm. ● A student is required to play on at least one interscholastic team per school year. Interscholastic teams (JV & Varsity) compete with other independent schools and some local public schools. ● In lieu of a sport, a student can opt to participate in a Shore theater program for one season of a school year. ● Some students who possess exceptional skill and dedication to an athletic activity that Shore does not offer may apply for an athletic exemption for a season of a school year. ● Families must submit a Sport/Drama Sign-Up for each of their Upper School student(s). Signing up by the announced due date is strongly encouraged, especially for programs that have an enrollment cap. Specific program listings below will outline any situations where capacity may limit the number of participants. Daily Practice Schedule 2:50-4:00 p.m. Monday Tuesday Wednesday # Thursday # Winter Musical has rehearsal until 5:30 on Wednesdays. ​ Game Schedule Games will take place on weekday afternoons. Occasionally, Shore enters a weekend tournament. Families will be notified well in advance of any weekend commitment. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM OFFERINGS INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS Shore fields teams in 11 interscholastic sports (boys/girls soccer, field hockey, cross country, ​ boys/girls basketball, boys/girls lacrosse, baseball, softball, and track). Interscholastic competition is available for students in grades six through nine. Interscholastic teams compete with other independent schools and some local public schools. The number of teams offered in each sport is dependent on the enrollment in a given sport. The typical designation for the teams is varsity (V) and junior varsity (JV). When there are enough players for two junior varsity teams, the designation will be JV1 and JV2. Varsity teams compete with other middle school varsity teams as well as the JV/3rd’s teams ​ from some secondary schools. A varsity team is comprised of mostly eighth and ninth graders with the occasional seventh grader. With safety a foremost concern as well as varying social and physical maturity levels, students in Grade 6 are ineligible for varsity team participation. A ​ ​ Varsity Team typically has 10 - 12 games on the season schedule. Junior Varsity teams compete with other middle school teams (Grades 6-9). A JV team can ​ include students in Grades 6-9. Shore’s JV teams compete with other schools of similar grade levels. A JV team typically has 8-10 games on the season schedule. As stated above, when enrollment is sufficient, Shore will offer three levels of play, Varsity, JV 1, and JV 2. JV 1 is a team comprised mostly of students from Grade 7-9 with the occasional athlete from ​ Grade 6. This team plays approximately 8-10 games per season. JV 2 is a team comprised mostly of students from Grade 6 and 7. This team will play a range of ​ games (approximately 4-6 games) over the course of the season depending on the sport and the size of the team. Who Does Shore Compete With? Shore belongs to the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC). While there is no Middle School “League,” Shore competes against a wide range of independent schools and local public schools in our area, including: Austin Prep, Belmont Day School, Bellesini Academy, Berwick Academy, Brookwood School, Carroll School, Covenant Christian Academy, Dedham Country Day School, Esperanza Academy, Fay School, Fenn School, Fessenden School, Glen Urquhart School, Governor's Academy, Lexington Christian Academy, Manchester Essex Regional Middle School, Middlesex School, Milton Academy, Nashoba Brooks School, Nobles and Greenough School, Phillips Academy, Phillips Exeter Academy, Pike School, Pingree School, Rockport Middle School, Shady Hill School, St. John’s Prep, Tower School, Waring School, and Winsor School. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Intramural programs are comprised of students who participate in physical activity experiences ​ ​ at Shore or nearby facilities. Intramural programs do not have tryouts. However, some programs will have an enrollment cap. Intramural program options: Conditioning* This winter season program is for the motivated athlete seeking to enhance and improve their personal fitness. The workouts in this program include age-appropriate strength and conditioning at Iron Village, indoor cycling (spinning) classes at Inner Cycle, circuit training, and outdoor running. If sign-up exceeds 20 students, preference of enrollment will be given in grade ​ order (starting with Grade 9) from the group of students registered by the registration deadline of May 24, and then on a first-come, first-served basis. *This program has an additional cost ​ (approx. $525) to cover use of off-campus facilities and transportation. Squash + Paddle* This winter season program takes place at Myopia Hunt Club in Hamilton. The program consists of 3 sessions per week of squash/paddle as well as 1 day of fitness/racket activities at Shore. Typically, this program competes in one or two matches over the course of the season. This program fills quickly. If sign up exceeds 16 students, preference of enrollment will be given in ​ ​ grade order (starting with Grade 9) from the group of students registered by the registration deadline of May 24, and then on a first-come, first-served basis. *This program has an ​ additional cost (approx. $525) to cover use of off-campus facilities and transportation. SPORT SIGN-UP AND TEAM SELECTIONS For planning purposes, students complete the Sport/Drama Sign-Up during the registration process in the spring of the previous year. New students to Shore will sign-up upon enrollment. Signing up in a timely manner helps students to secure their selection and allows time for the school to properly plan staffing, scheduling, facilities, and equipment for the upcoming year. Team Placement Students sign up for their sport of choice, and, if there are more than enough sign-ups for more than one team, there will be a tryout period. Teams are created through ability-based groupings. Team selections take place at the start of each new season and last for approximately four practice sessions. At the conclusion of the process, the coaches have a brief conversation with each athlete to discuss his/her team placement. Regardless of the team level determined by the coaches, all students are able and expected to participate in their selected sport. Changing Your Sign-Up It is common for middle school students to have second thoughts regarding their sport/drama sign-up. Prior to each season, the Athletic Director reviews the sign-up with all students. At this time, students have a two-week period to finalize their selection. The deadline for changes is announced well in advance. For planning purposes, changes are not permitted after the announced deadline. THEATER OFFERINGS During the fall and winter seasons, students can sign up for one theater offering (fall or winter), ​ ​ in lieu of a sport. Fall: Grade 6-9 Play Participating in a non-musical theatrical production during the fall season is an option for students in Grades 6-9. A student who chooses this option will not be able to participate in the winter musical; they must choose one or the other. There will be a limit of 15 performers for the fall production and 5 students on the tech crew with a total enrollment of 20 students. Rehearsals will meet between 2:50-4:00 p.m. with two later rehearsals during the week of the performances. Winter: Grade 6-9 Musical Rehearsal times are 2:50-4:00 p.m. (M/T/TH) and 2:50-5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. There are 2 weekends during the rehearsal period (January-March) when cast members are expected to attend a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal. Rehearsal times leading up to the performance are also extended. If enrollment exceeds 35 students, auditions will take place prior to the winter season. A student who chooses this option will not be able to participate in the fall play; they must choose one or the other. Grade 7-9 Backstage Crew See rehearsal times above for the Grade 6-9 Musical. If enrollment for the Tech Crew exceeds 10 students, preference of enrollment is given to returning crew members and then priority goes to students in grade order starting with Grade 9. ATHLETIC EXEMPTIONS Some students demonstrate exceptional skill and great dedication to an athletic activity that Shore does not offer. To encourage continued growth and development, a student may apply to be excused from the Shore athletic program for a season. Criteria for an exemption: ● The student must participate in a sport not offered by Shore during any season of the school ​ ​ year - fall, winter, or spring.

    Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013-2014

    Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts grade 7 immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported students in grade 7. Schools that reported fewer than 30 students in grade 7 are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data,

  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England

    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.
