The ASVAB Test (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is being offered at no cost to sophomores, juniors and seniors on October 18th, during periods 1 and 2.
Students are encouraged to take the test, especially if they are unsure of their career direction after high school.
The test measures math and verbal achievement as well as mechanical aptitude, business and clerical aptitude, electronics and electrical aptitude, and health and social technology.
The ASVAB is required of all persons who enlist in the military (and we are told the school form of the test is easier than the one at the recruiting offices), therefore anyone who is considering the military as an option MUST take the ASVAB.

NOTES FROM THE
SCHOOL NURSE
|
There is an additional immunization requirement for entrance into 12th grade, Meningococcal (MCV). It is important that parents/guardians of current 11th graders confirm with your healthcare provider that your child is up-to-date with all required immunizations for entering 12th grade.
I strongly encourage parents/guardians to have these vaccinations administered this spring while your child is still in the 11th grade and documentation given to me so it can be entered into each student's electronic health record.
You can scan them to
mdonner@cysd.k12.pa.us, fax them to 717-840-2705 or drop them off to the nurse's office.
-------------------------------------------
COLD AND FLU SEASON
Cold medicine must be given at home. We do not have a doctor's order to give during the school day. There are 12 hour cold medicines available at your local pharmacy.
Students are NOT permitted to carry cold/flu medicine in school, but students are permitted to carry cough drops in school as long as they are in the original packaging
and they have a permission note signed by their parent or guardian. The note needs to be kept in their backpack along with their cough drops and they are not permitted to share them with other students.
