The Lunchtime link is now available for you to deposit lunch money into your student's account.
Our Lunchtime Point of Sale purchasing system for student lunches is connected directly to the
Vision online parent portal (formerly MMS) accessible through the
York Catholic website. Parents simply log in to the Vision parent portal, choose "More" in the upper right corner, select "Fees," and click "Make Cafeteria Deposit." As parents, you will be able to view what your student is purchasing in the cafeteria and the remaining balance in the account. To ensure we are using this system to its potential, everyone is required to use their Lunchtime account log in to pay for his or her lunch meals. The following policies are in place regarding Lunchtime Accounts and Balances. We encourage parents to sign up for email notification when their Lunchtime account balances are getting low.
- Checks and/or cash are not accepted in the cafeteria for food purchases during lunch periods. It is the responsibility of the student to submit a check (not cash) in a sealed envelope (clearly labeled with his/her name, grade, and student ID number) and place it in the Lunchtime box located in the cafeteria for the student's account to be credited. The minimum check amount is $10. Funds may not be available for 24 hours.
- It is the student and parent's responsibility to monitor the Lunchtime account online for balance information and retain a positive balance at all times.
- If a student has a lunchtime balance at $0.00 or below, they will only have the option to purchase a lunch consisting of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fruit, and drink (1% white milk, iced tea, or orange drink) for $3.00.
- No refunds will be given during the school year. Seniors will be issued a refund on accounts with a balance of $5 or more after graduation unless they have a sibling enrolled at YC in which case the balance will be transferred to the sibling for the next school year. All underclassmen accounts will roll-over to the next school year.
- Report cards and Vision access will be held at the end of each quarter if Lunchtime balances are not current.
If you need assistance accessing your Vision account, please contact Deb Gingerich at
[email protected]
or 717-846-8871 x219.

Assignments are due this
Monday, August 27.
Reading
York Catholic High School views the development of life-long habits of reading as a hallmark of an educated man or woman, and it encourages each student to read widely throughout the year. The school also recognizes the value of other on-going academic engagement during the summer months. Summer reading and other intellectual activities serve to stimulate, to enrich, and to reinforce academic skills during the summer hiatus. Each current student has received a packet with the assignments for summer reading. The assignments are also available on the home page of the YC website at
yorkcatholic.org in the Announcements section, titled, "Summer Assignments," and on the Forms & Documents page. Each grade level's requirements are clearly explained and testing and/or projects are due at the start of the 2018-19 school year. Click
here for the list of books for the summer reading projects.
PLEASE NOTE: There has been a change to the assignments for Incoming 10th Grade Honors and CP/Level II.
It has come to our attention that the summer reading selection of
The Coming of the Dragon
is out of print. We apologize for any confusion and concern this may have caused. Please disregard any summer reading assignment your child may have received in his or her English class.
We have replaced this selection with Matthew Harffy's Kin of Cain: A Short Bernicia Tale. The new assignments have been updated on the website.
 Math
Keeping students' math skills strong during the summer months helps to avoid the "summer slide" and aids in less review time when school resumes. Students should complete their Summer Math Assignments and return them by August 27. The assignments are available on the home page of the YC website at yorkcatholic.org
in the Announcements section, titled, "Summer Assignments," and on the Forms & Documents page.
