Correction
Earlier this year, we included a uniform list for the 2016-17 school year. The new navy blazers were incorrectly listed on both the Junior High and Senior High lists. The Junior High students will not be wearing blazers. Blazers are only available to the Senior High students.
New Uniforms
Flynn & O'Hara encourages parents to shop early and take advantage of the many convenient ways to shop for school uniforms. Parents may shop at a retail location, visit
www.flynnohara.com
, or call 1-800-441-4122. Avoid the long lines and waits by shopping before August 1.
Uniform Exchange
The uniform exchange will be available for trades and purchases on June 22 from 4-6 PM and August 3 from 12-2 PM at YC. Walk-ins on days other than this date cannot be accommodated. If you need uniforms, bring your gently worn items for an even trade or purchase some at a reduced price: skirts $5, pants $4, sweaters $3, shirts $2. Uniforms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If anyone is interested in helping with the summer uniform exchange, please contact Heather Hoffman at 717-846-8871 x20 or [email protected].

Here's a picture of just one of the racks of belongings left behind by students at the end of the school year. If you've been wondering where that brand new pair of sneakers could possibly be...probably here!
We'll leave the racks in the main lobby for you to claim your items Monday through Thursday from 8 AM-3 PM the week of June 13.
Anything remaining after
June 16 will be donated to local charities.

Plan to Play Sports Next School Year?
|
 Athletic Physicals
All Fall athletes must have a physical dated between
June 1, 2016 and August 5, 2016 to be eligible to participate in Fall sports. Physicals given prior to June 1, 2016 are NOT recognized by the PIAA.
Athletic Physicals for all sports for the 2016-2017 school year will be
held on Thursday, June 16, from 6-8 PM at OSS Health at 1855 Powder Mill Road. Students must bring their completed 7-page PIAA Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation form (CIPPE) that can be printed here or accessed on the homepage of the YC website at
www.yorkcatholic.org
(the correct forms will be dated March 17, 2016 at the bottom of page 1). The forms must be signed by a parent. Cost for the physical is $15. Checks should be made payable to York Catholic. OSS requests student-athletes DO NOT enter the building prior to 5:45 PM.
If you go to your own doctor, you must use the PIAA Sports Physical Form (CIPPE) referenced above. No other form is acceptable.
Please note: OSS is conducting sports physicals ONLY. OSS staff will not be performing driver's license physicals or 11th grade physicals. All students entering Grade 11 are required by the State of Pennsylvania to have a complete physical prior to the start of the school year. Grade 11 athletes must schedule an appointment with their personal physician between June 1, 2016 and August 5, 2016. Be sure to take both physical forms to the appointment (sports physical form & Grade 11 physical form).
ImPACT Testing
There has been extensive media coverage about athletics and concussions. York Catholic has been at the forefront in this area and includes the ImPACT Test (Immediate Post-Concussive Assessment and Cognitive Testing) to monitor our athletes.
All interscholastic athletes, cheerleaders, and members of the marching band and bandfront are required to take an ImPACT Test to establish a cognitive baseline for concussions. This is an established technology used in order to determine the return to play/activity guidelines for participants who have sustained a concussion.
The test is administered on a computer. The baseline is adequate for two years. Therefore, if a student participated on a YC team last season and had an ImPACT test, he or she is not required to repeat it this season.
It is the athlete's responsibility to email Mr. Rick Luckman at
[email protected]
to see if a valid ImPACT Test is on file at YC. If an ImPACT test needs to be taken or re-taken, contact Mr. Luckman for instructions. Once completed, the student must check with Mr. Luckman to see if the updated ImPACT Test was transmitted properly and is on file.
ImPACT Tests must be completed and Sports Physical Forms must be given to Mr. Luckman by August 5 at 3 PM to be permitted to start Fall practice.
Nurse & Coach Volunteers Needed
Volunteer nurses and coaches are needed for Physical Night at OSS on June 16. Nurse duties include taking blood pressures, pulses, and respiration rates. Coaches will check athletes in and out and measure heights and weights. If you are interested, contact Kyle Smink at
[email protected]
