IMPORTANT: Attendance Tracking Procedure Update
Starting Monday, Nov. 7, 2016 we will be implementing a new system for tracking attendance:
The South Entrance will be locked at 7:45am. All students will have to enter school through the main doors and report to Ms. Winfrey's office for an Attendance Slip from 7:45am -8:45am. After 8:45am students will report to the Main Office for a Tardy Slip
- Students are not to be permitted into class without an Attendance Slip.
- Students who do not have an Attendance Slip are to be sent to Ms. Winfrey's office to obtain one. The Attendance slips will have the time and date the student was late as well as whether it was excused or unexcused.
- Any student who is returning to school after being absent will report to the main office to obtain a slip. Their slip will be filled out by Mrs. Dahlquist indicating whether the absence was excused or unexcused.
- Any student who is leaving early for appointments will report to the Main Office in the morning before homeroom and obtain an Early Dismissal from Mrs. Dahlquist. Before the student leaves for the day he/she will report to Mrs. Dahlquist in the Main Office and obtain an Attendance slip with the date and time they are leaving for the day.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jon Tobin, Dean of Student Life, at 513-487-3115 or email

Mock Trial Team Forming at The Castle!
Every year the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education sponsors a mock trial competition for high school students. Students in the Cincinnati area have the opportunity to assume the roles of attorneys, plaintiffs, defendants, and witnesses and argue cases before Cincinnati-area lawyers. Winning teams from those competitions have the opportunity to go on to regional and even state competitions.
Ann Wittenauer, who worked for 15 years as an attorney before returning to her first love, teaching, is working to form a team to compete this year. If you like to argue AND you are willing to put your heart into it, contact her in Room 27 or via email at annkoizewittenauer@purcellmarian.org.

From the Dean of Student Life
Social Skill for Success:
Purcell Marian is in its third three of utilizing the Boystown Well Managed School
Model. It is a prosocial skill training method emphasizing at least 16 marketable skills for success in school, and the workplace. This method promotes a common, consistent language and procedure to teach theses social skills that will help all become successful Cavaliers. We will be highlighting a skill each week.
Accepting No for an Answer is skill of the week. The steps for Accepting no are:
1. Look at the person
2. Say okay
3. Stay calm
4. If you disagree, ask later
We have already had this skill of the week this year, but have seen a need to re-focus and re-teach it.
Please visit the parent website for Boystown at http://www.parenting.org . We will be highlighting one of the skills each week in the parent newsletter.
Focus of the Week - After School Procedure
A reminder to students and parents alike. Once school lets out at 2:45 pm, students need to leave the building unless they are seeing a teacher or are with their coach. Any student waiting for a ride and/or practice to begin needs to wait outside the school building and not in the cafeteria. Any student found unsupervised in the building after school hours can receive disciplinary consequences.

We will be drug testing all students who volunteered to participate in our drug prevention program on Friday November 11th. If you are interested in signing up please visit our webpage and click on Dean of Student Life.
