R eference Guide
Dear Parents,
Summer is on the horizon, but it is not too early to prepare for the start of another great school year.
We are so pleased to welcome new families to our warm and supportive community, and we look
forward to the excitement of having everyone back on campus in the fall.
At MBS, we pride ourselves on having an open community and find that new families quickly feel at
home and at ease. In that spirit, we have provided a guide to help ensure a smooth and comfortable
transition to a new school year.
While this publication was designed with our new families in mind, it also serves as a great refresher
for our current families. I invite you to take some time to review its contents. Should you have any
questions, please reach out to Boni Luna, Head of Middle School, or Darren Burns, Head of Upper
School, for more information.
I hope you enjoy the rest of this school year.
Warm Regards,
Peter J. Caldwell

Transforming Our Future—The Campaign for Morristown-Beard School
In April 2016, MBS proudly unveiled an ambitious five-year, $20
Transforming Our Future
million comprehensive campaign named Transforming Our Future. This
comprehensive campaign raised funds for the state-of-the-art Math &
Science Facility as well as renovations to the Simon Athletic Center, Rooke
Pool, and other capital projects. The campaign is currently raising funds MI L L I ON
for the Center for Innovation & Design as well as support for scholarship
and endowment, two priorities that are integral to the School’s long-term
success. Finally, MBS will continue its community-wide efforts to sustain
The Campaign for Morristown-Beard School
and build the Morristown-Beard Fund—the School’s annual fund.

$Million
Morristown-Beard to Scholarships Capital
Fund and Endowment Projects
The Morristown-Beard Fund
The MB Fund exists for one reason only: to improve the MBS student
experience. Every dollar donated supports the expansion of academic and
curricular initiatives, arts and athletics programs, and student leadership
and service opportunities. While special fundraising for capital projects,
endowment, and scholarship bring significant long-term benefits to our
School, the MB Fund’s consistent support of today’s student experience is
vital to our students’ intellectual and emotional growth and our School’s
financial health. The MB Fund helps close the gap between the cost of educating an MBS student and
his/her tuition. We respectfully ask every MBS family to support the MB Fund—every year.
Scholarship
Another important priority for MBS remains scholarship support for students with demonstrated
financial need. While annual investment income from the endowment does help limit tuition increases,
the overall affordability of an independent school education continues to be a challenging question
facing schools throughout the nation. Additional related issues such as diversity and inclusion within
the composition of the student body amplify the growing need for scholarship support.

Endowment
The continual growth of an independent school’s endowment is vital to the long-term financial health
of the institution. A robust, well-managed endowment enables independent schools like Morristown-
Beard School to strengthen its future aspirations by providing increased support to both unrestricted
and restricted needs. Additionally, endowment income will continue to play a key role in helping MBS
maintain tuition increases at a lower level than many regional and national peer schools through its
support of general operating expenses.
Capital Projects
An unprecedented decade of philanthropic support for physical improvements to our campus has enabled
MBS to provide a rich learning environment that is academically rigorous for our students. Over the past
15 years, MBS has dedicated over $52 million to 16 major building and renovation projects that
have been transformative to our 22-acre campus, enhancing its beauty and functionality. From the
construction of a 630-seat Performing Arts Center and Middle School to the completion of our 25,000
square foot Math & Science Facility, MBS continues to honor our unwavering commitment to our
students and faculty: to provide them with the very best environment and tools for learning, growth and
unparalleled success.

Athletics Information Powerfully prepared for learning and for life
R eference Guide
MBS is home to a rich and proud athletics program. Counting teams at the varsity, junior varsity,
freshmen, and Middle School levels, Morristown-Beard fields over 50 squads in 20 sports. Our athletics
program is both competitive and inclusive; MBS teams consistently challenge for conference and state
titles each year while maintaining a no-cut (for athletic ability or sport familiarity) policy.* In addition,
our athletics program helps multiple student-athletes continue their academic and athletic careers at
NCAA colleges and universities on an annual basis.
We encourage every student to try out for athletic teams, whether he or she is an accomplished athlete
or new to the sport. Athletics are truly an integral part of the MBS experience.
For a complete list of our sports offerings, as well as schedules, coaches, and more, please visit
www.mbs.net. Then… Join a team! Attend a game! We promise you’ll be glad you did!
Please remember to check the Athletics Calendar frequently for schedule changes. If you have questions
about athletics, please contact Joanne Dzama, Director of Upper School Athletics, at jdzama@mbs.net,
or Mike Sturgeon, Director of Middle School Athletics, at msturgeon@mbs.net.
*Please note that some sports have roster limitations due to state regulations, venue, or transportation con-
cerns.

Welcome Letter Powerfully prepared for learning and for life
R eference Guide
Dear Parents,
I hope this letter finds you excited about your upcoming experience at Morristown-Beard School and
the role that athletics will play in your child’s high school years. I certainly look forward to working
with you as Upper School Athletic Director.
The fall season will be upon us before we know it. Accordingly, I would like to take this opportunity to
give you some information that you can reference in the upcoming months.
Our Fall season will begin for most sports on Monday, August 13, 2018. These preseason practices will
be scheduled individually by each team and will be detailed in letters from the coaches (available in the
Parent Portal on May 15, 2018). Our annual Crimson Week will be held August 20-24, 2018. During
this week, the MBS Athletic Department sponsors lunch (Monday through Thursday) for all student-
athletes. Crimson Week is truly an opportunity to celebrate all fall student-athletes. It’s a great way for
all teams to socialize and kick off the Fall season!
As each Fall team has their own unique schedules, it is vital for you to read the coaches letters, which
will be available in the Parent Portal of the MBS website (www.mbs.net) on May 15, 2018. These
letters will provide you with detailed information regarding practice times and equipment needs that
are specific to each sport. Although attendance at preseason practices is not mandatory, it is strongly
suggested that each student-athlete take part in all preseason practices in order to best prepare for the
season. This also is a time for our coaches to evaluate the skill level of all players. Please note that all
9th graders and new students also are expected to attend these practices.
I look forward to meeting you all during this upcoming year. If you have any questions regarding
the Fall preseason practices, please feel free to call me at (973) 539-3032, ext. 589, or email me at
jdzama@mbs.net. Have a great summer, and Go Crimson!

Welcome Letter Powerfully prepared for learning and for life

Dear Parents,
Welcome to Morristown-Beard School and Middle School Athletics. I am looking forward to working
with you and your children during your time here in our Middle School.
As Fall is right around the corner, I would like to take this opportunity to give you some information
about the athletic program in the upcoming months.
The Middle School Fall sports season will begin shortly after the beginning of school. Please note that
there are no summer athletic commitments for Middle School student-athletes. We will have Fall
sports sign-ups during the first week of school and will be offering: Field Hockey (Girls), Soccer (Boys
and Girls), Tennis (Girls), Flag Football (Co-ed), Cross Country (Co-ed), and Fitness (Co-ed). We have
a no-cut policy, so all student-athletes may play the sport of their choice.
The Middle School has a policy in which each student is required to participate in a sport or the fitness
program every season. The fitness program is an alternative to those who may not be interested in team
sports. The dress code for fitness is shorts or sweatpants, t-shirts or sweatshirts, and athletic sneakers.
Team uniforms for Fall sports will be distributed in September.
The Fall schedule for each sport can be found at http://www.nwjerseyac.com. These schedules may
change slightly over the summer, but they will become final on July 1st.
I look forward to meeting you and your children during this upcoming year. If you have any questions
regarding Fall practices, please feel free to call me at (973) 539-3032, ext. 531, or email me at
msturgeon@mbs.net. Have a great summer and Go Crimson!

Summer Reading Letter Powerfully prepared for learning and for life
R eference Guide
Greetings!
As Head Librarian I’d like to welcome you to the MBS community. You will soon discover that the
library is one of the hubs of activity on campus, yet it is also a space without walls. You can work on
your group project, pick out a novel for the reading period, and play a game of chess at one of our tables
or use one of our college-level databases or popular e-books from the comfort of your own home. The
Anderson Library serves many purposes and we look forward to having you!
As you prepare for the new school year, I’d like to introduce you to our Summer Reading Program.
Studies have shown that when students are allowed to choose their own books, they are much more
satisfied with the reading experience. To that end our program emphasizes choice. Students may select
from a wide variety of options in the attached list. In September we will meet in small book discussion
groups led by a sponsoring faculty or staff member as well as a junior or senior discussion leader.
All students are required to read at least two books over the summer; please spend time with your child
reviewing these books and email their top three choices to esalge@mbs.net or pdonahue@mbs.net no
later than June 15. For more information on the books including summaries and short videos, check out
http://mbs.libguides.com/2018summer. Please send in the choices early as summer reading groups are
formed on a first come, first serve basis and we aim to keep the groups relatively small. Once we receive
your requests, the student will be notified as to which discussion groups he or she will join.
If you have any questions please feel free to email us. We look forward to seeing you in our community
this Fall.
All the best,
Erinn Salge
Head Librarian

MBS Technology Powerfully prepared for learning and for life

Dear Parents,
Technology and education have gone hand in hand over the past few decades. We at Morristown-Beard
School want to prepare our students to utilize all that technology has to offer and help ready them for
life outside of MBS. As part of our approach, we have an iPad 1-to-1 program where each student is
required to have an iPad. Having an iPad in the hands of each student helps to enrich and enhance the
learning experience at MBS.
To help you prepare for the upcoming school year, I have included some useful information about our
iPad 1-to-1 program. Also included are the requirements and recommendations for purchasing the
iPad, as well as information about using the iPad on the MBS campus. In order for students to be able
to use their iPad on our network, they must register their device with the School. Steps for the iPad
registration can be found on the Technology Information tab within the Parent Portal on the School’s
website (www.mbs.net).
The Internet is a very powerful tool if used correctly. Our Technology Acceptable Use Policy is in place
to make sure that students are using technology appropriately and safely. To ensure that they know how
to navigate their online world, I will be speaking with all freshmen over the course of the year about
digital citizenship. This program will help guide the students to ethical and safe participation in the
online world. On the following pages, please find our Technology Acceptable Use Policy as well as our
Social Media Policy. Both documents can also be found on the School’s website, under Academics at
MBS and Educational Technology.
If you have any questions regarding technology, please email me at ctrought@mbs.net.
Best,

MBS Technology Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who is required to have an iPad for Fall 2018?
A: All students, new and returning, grades 6 through 12, are required to have an iPad.
Q: Where should I purchase my iPad?
A: You have the option to purchase your iPad through Apple or any other vendor you choose.

A: The Apple Store provides an education discount if you present an MBS ID or acceptance letter at

Q: What’s the difference between Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular?
A: Wi-Fi allows a user to access the Internet via established wireless networks. Wi-Fi+Cellular allows a
user to access the Internet via not only these established wireless networks, but also through your cellu-
lar service provider; the Wi-Fi+Cellular service requires the purchase of an additional data plan through
your cellular service provider. Because MBS has a dedicated wireless iPad network, Wi-Fi+Cellular is
not needed.

The School reserves the right to discipline any student, including the possibility of expulsion, for
behavior that reflects in a negative way on the School, no matter where or when such behavior occurs.
Social Media Policy
MBS subscribes to a “Do-no-harm” policy of social media use, with “harm” broadly defined as a misuse
of social media towards any individual at large, members of the MBS Community, the School and its
reputation.
Be mindful of your digital footprint. Anything that you post online can and will follow you throughout
life. Do not post anything that you would not like your friends, family, college admissions officer, or
future employer to see. Things you post online are possibly permanent and easily traceable.
Be a good digital citizen. Be respectful of others online and be mindful of what you say. Do not say
things online that you would not say to someone in person.
Social Media Guidelines
When it comes to using social media, one must THINK before posting.
I should ask myself: Is what I am posting…
• True?
• Honest?
• Illegal?
• Necessary?
• Kind?
Online bullying and harassment issues are taken very seriously. Reported instances of alleged abuse will
be examined by the appropriate administrative personnel who will determine if abuse has occurred and
if disciplinary action is warranted.
Photos or videos taken during the school day of faculty, staff, or students may not be posted without
proper consent.
