Sound the Vic~to~ry! “Go Big Blue!” “Go Big Blue!” “Go Big Blue!” “Go Big Blue!” MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT June 2013 Dear Students of the Black Horse Pike Regional School District: As of July 1, 2013, I will begin to serve the community as Superintendent of the Black Horse Pike Regional School District (BHPRSD). I grew up in Gloucester Township and have countless, fond memories of Gloucester Township Public Schools, BHPRSD, teachers, and friends. My parents and teachers modeled and taught the importance of perseverance, planning and the will to succeed through hard work; I am eternally grateful for all of their guidance and support. As Superintendent, I wish to provide an environment rich in opportunities for students to share in the same experiences I had as a student in the BHPRSD. As a result of meeting with students over this past school year, it is our intention to implement the following starting September 2013: • Opportunities to perform higher critical-thinking tasks: Students will be expected to problem solve, create and build, for those performance skills are what separate us from the competition. In support of this, students will perform in district-level competitions. • GREEN Team: Students are concerned about the health of our planet. They wish to see the school be a reflection of that care, so efforts to reduce the use of gas, electricity, and water will be made. A student, teacher and administrator-led GREEN team will put into action a plan to reduce the school district’s use of gas, electricity, water, use of pesticides, and harmful cleaning chemicals. We want to be leaders in the community on reducing our carbon footprint and reducing the release of harmful chemicals into the ground. • Greater collaboration between students and central administration: Student Council representatives and class officers in each high school will meet with Central Administration to share and gather ideas. Students’ ideas are valued, so please discuss any ideas you have through your elected Student Council members or class officers. I thank you for this opportunity and will handle all duties and responsibilities of my leadership role with utmost care so that generations of students will be afforded the opportunities that come with an excellent education. It is my firm belief that all students can learn and build success. Building success takes determination, daily commitment, focus, planning, and decision- making aligned to that commitment. Together, let’s aim to initiate creativity, celebrate success, and hold high expectations for academic achievement. Dream big and plan wisely, Brian Repici, Ed. D. - 2 - From the Desk of: Mae F. Robinson, Principal To the students of Timber Creek Regional High School, Welcome to Timber Creek Regional High School’s 2013/2014 academic school year. For those of you who are returning, I congratulate you on the accomplishments you have previously achieved. To all our new students, I extend a warm welcome to you. I invite you to make your high school experience rewarding and positive by getting involved in clubs, sports, theater, art or music. The first priority as a high school student is to formulate a plan for your future and begin working towards achieving your goals. Over your four years at Timber Creek, you will be building a resume that will serve as a foundation for your plan. Keys to success include making the commitment to stay on top of “your game” academically, athletically, and through your involvement with our clubs and service organizations. Striving to earn entrance in the Honor Societies, becoming a member of a club or making a name for yourself in sports, music, theater or art will have an impact on college acceptance and will give you experience that will be impressive to any college or employer. Every June, the evidence of a good resume is validated as members of the senior class receive awards and scholarships because they were committed to excellence throughout their four years at Timber Creek. High school is a time to become involved. Timber Creek is a state-of-the-art school facility that you can utilize to become the best you can be. Participate to the fullest and watch yourself achieve beyond your expectations. Timber Creek’s faculty and staff are committed to ensuring the success of all students. Our professionals provide after school help from 2:05 p.m. to 2:40 p.m. in their specific subject area for any student wishing to stay after school to take advantage of their expertise. Late buses are provided at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This agenda book will acquaint you with rules and regulations set forth by the Black Horse Pike Regional School District’s Board of Education. Timber Creek High School’s emblem is a horse with a lightning bolt and we are known as the Chargers. Our Vice Principals include: Mr. Saunders (grade 9), Grade 10 Vice-Principal (TBD), Mr. Milavsky (grade 11), Mr. DiMaulo, Jr. (grade 12).

Students may obtain a request for an appointment from the Counseling Office before or after school or between class periods. Fill in the appointment form and leave it with the secretary. The counselor will issue a pass showing the time and date of the appointment. In case of emergency, the student may come to the Counseling Office and ask for an appointment with his/her counselor. Parents and students should keep in mind that the work of the counselor is to indicate the strengths, weaknesses, and demands of a specific program. Counselors do not choose the program or the student’s courses; they do, however, survey a situation and indicate possible choices and observations. They do not tell the student what career to choose but indicate available opportunities. Counselors do not get the student a job, a scholarship or college acceptance. The student’s own record is the determining factor in getting him/her a job, a scholarship, or into college. Parents are encouraged to discuss with the counselor the progress of a student or to gain information about colleges or job opportunities. Appointments can be made through the Counseling Office for parental conferences with teachers by calling (856) 232-9703. Mr. A. Powell Director Ms. W. Calandra A - COLLIM Mrs. J.
