FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL:
Dear Parents:
This year's Catholic Schools Week theme is Learn, Serve, Lead, Succeed. Camden Catholic High School educates young men and women spiritually, academically, socially, and physically in a faith community. We take great pride in our students and our faculty and their accomplishments, but our community is special because it is grounded in our Catholic faith. As the Camden Catholic High School community celebrates Catholic Schools week, we thank you for your continued commitment to Catholic school education.
As we begin CSW, we will have our first J-Term. We will open the week with a prayer service and then continue in our three day learning experience that is unique to CCHS. In addition to our J-Term experiences, we will have speakers who will be at CCHS to celebrate what Catholic schools have meant in their lives. Students will have activities each day at lunch in recognition of Catholic school education.
Our second semester will begin
on Thursday as we celebrate our students during Catholic Schools Week. Please ask your students about the fun activities during their lunches.
We will close our school week with Mass
on Friday and a celebration of our faculty and all they do for our school.
This will be a great week for CCHS as celebrate Catholic Schools week!
Heather Crisci
Principal

From the Office of Student Affairs
Parking:
As a reminder, s
tudents who request permission to drive to school must do the following
- Return the completed Student Parking Agreement and Vehicle Registration Form and pay the $50.00 parking fee to the Office of Student Affairs. The fee will be 25.00 at the beginning of the second semester.
- Park in their assigned parking spot. Display their hangtag on their rear view mirror.
- Observe the 15 mph speed limit in the parking lot and maintain safe driving habits at all times.
Students who park on school grounds without purchasing a parking space will be issued 5 demerits and must follow the above parking procedures. Additionally, students who do not comply with the Parking Lot regulations may receive demerits, be towed at owner's expense, or lose their parking lot privileges.
Parking Lot Reminder:
The morning student drop off has been going very smoothly. Please continue to use the parent drop off lane in the rear of the building to drop off students in the morning to ensure the safety of all students. Please pull forward to the top of the lane so that traffic does not back up into the side parking lot. Students should not exit parent driven vehicles in the travel or bus lanes of the student parking area; this jeopardizes the safety of the students.
Note: For safety reasons, students are not allowed to loiter in the parking lot in morning or in the afternoon. Failure to comply with this directive, may result in the student lose of their parking lot privileges.

From the Nurse's Office
Parents are reminded that all Juniors need a physical. Please schedule appointments if physicals haven't been returned yet and return completed forms to the nurse's office.
If a sports physical becomes a year old during a sport season, there is a 10-day grace period from the date of the last physical to obtain a new one. If no physical is returned at the end of the 10-day grace period, the athlete must sit out of sports until a new physical is returned and cleared. If possible, a courtesy reminder will be sent from the nurse's office, but as noted in the student handbook, it is the responsibility of the student/parent to ensure sports physicals are current.
Please contact Mrs. Veneziani in the nurse's office with any questions.
