Final examinations for students in Grades 8-11 are scheduled for Thursday, June 1; Friday, June 2; Monday, June 5. It is important that all students are present for these exams. Please do not arrange vacations during these days. Student trips or vacations will not be approved. Students will not be permitted to take a make-up exam due to a trip.
June 1 English & Foreign Language
June 2 Math & Social Studies
June 5 Religion & Science
For most students, two exams will be scheduled for each day, except where conflicts will necessitate three. The testing periods will be 60 minutes. Students are to report directly to their first test each day; attendance will be taken in the testing rooms, not in the homerooms. Should a student not have an exam until the second testing period, he/she need not report until that time. If a student does not have an exam in the second exam slot, the student is free to leave school at 9:45 AM.
Approximate time frame for most students will be 8:15 AM until 11:00 AM. School districts have re-arranged their pick-up times to accommodate our early dismissal.
Lunch will not be served on Exam days.
For grades 9-11, these semester exams will comprise 1/5 of the second semester grade. Students in grade 8 will prepare for and take a final exam; this will be presented as a learning experience in preparation for the transition into senior high school.
In light of the importance of these exams and their scheduling, the only absence that will be accepted on these days will be with a doctor's excuse.

| Closing Mass & Junior Ring Ceremony |
The community is invited to join us for Mass to celebrate the end of a successful school year full of learning and growth on Tuesday, June 6, at 1:30 PM in the auditorium. The junior class will also receive their blessed school rings,
signifying the passing of school peer leadership from the outgoing senior class to the rising senior class. Parents are encouraged to attend.
At the conclusion of Mass, Lifetouch Photography will be making a brief presentation to juniors about senior portraits.

On our last day of school, Wednesday, June 7, we will be celebrating the accomplishments of our students in grades 7-11. Students will be honored for their academic, service, athletic, and musical achievements. The Awards Assembly for Grades 9-11 will start at 8:30 AM, and the Awards Assembly for Grades 7-8 will begin at 10 AM, followed by the 8th Grade Moving On Ceremony. All grades will dismiss at 11:30 AM for summer break. Family members are welcome to attend.

| Sports Physicals Required |
Athletic Physicals
All Fall athletes must have a physical dated between June 1, 2017 and August 9, 2017 to be eligible to participate in Fall sports. Physicals given prior to June 1, 2017 are NOT recognized by the PIAA.
Athletic Physicals for the 2017-2018 school year will be held on Monday, June 5, from 6-7:30 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 22, 2017 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, 2017 and August 9, 2017. 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 initial 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 Brad Hayek 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. Hayek for instructions. Once completed, the student must check with Mr. Hayek to see if the updated ImPACT Test was transmitted properly and is on file.
Sports Physical Forms and ImPACT Tests must be given to Mr. Hayek by August 9 to be permitted to start Fall practice.
Nurse & Coach Volunteers Needed
Volunteer nurses and coaches are needed for Physical Night at OSS on
June 5. 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]
