12 month position (available immediately). 

York Catholic will be closed Monday, May 27, in celebration of Memorial Day.

Family members are welcome to join us for Ascension Mass on Thursday, May 30, at 10:20 AM. Attendance at this Mass fulfills your Holy Day of Obligation.

Family members are invited to join us at the annual Awards Assemblies planned for our students who will be honored for their academic, service, athletic, and musical achievements.

 

Grade 7-8:

Thursday, May 30, we will host Junior High Awards combined with 8th Grade Moving On & Junior High Student Council Inductions at 1:30 PM. At the conclusion of the assembly, 7th graders will report to period 9 and 8th graders will report to the cafeteria for a Moving On Reception. Senior High will run on regular schedule.

 

Grade 9-11:

Friday, May 31, we will host Senior High Awards, Junior Ring Ceremony, and Senior High Student Council Inductions at 1:30 PM. At the conclusion of the assembly, 9th and 10th graders will report to period 9 and 11th graders will report to the cafeteria for a Junior Ring Reception. Junior High will run on regular schedule.

 

The Awards Ceremonies for Grades 7-11 will include all awards except those that require a final average for the year to be recognized (the top of the class for the year and honors all 4 quarters). During the first week of school in September at the 2019-20 Back to School Mass with the entire student body, we will take an extra 15 minutes to welcome 7th grade and recognize all 8th through 12th graders who earned end of the year awards the previous year as a result of their final average.

 

Report cards will be mailed home Friday, June 14.

All Chromebooks and chargers should be returned to the library May 30-31. Students who require their Chromebooks for final exams must return them by June 5. Please note, the return procedure is not a drop-off and will take some time to process.  Students are advised not to wait until their last exam is completed to return their Chromebook, unless they've made alternate transportation plans other than bus pick-up.  

Final examinations for students in Grades 8-11 are scheduled for Monday, June 3; Tuesday, June 4; and Wednesday, 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.    

Monday, June 3             Religion and Science

Tuesday, June 4            English and Foreign Language

Wednesday, June 5      Math and Social Studies

 

For most students, two exams will be scheduled for each day, except where conflicts will necessitate three. The testing periods will be 60 minutes. 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 at 11 AM.

 

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.

Online Sports Paperwork                                           

Students wishing to participate in athletics during the 2019-2020 school year must submit the following paperwork online at ArbiterAthlete.com no later than Thursday, August 1, at 3 PM; no exceptions.

If you have not played on a York Catholic athletic team since the online process started last year, ArbiterAthlete accounts must be set-up by each athlete and his or her parent. Please click here for the instructions on how to set-up an account. If you played on a York Catholic athletic team last year, you already have an existing account. Please use the same ID and password you used last year.

 

ALL athletes must upload updated paperwork to be eligible to play during the 2019-20 school year. Doctors' signatures must be dated AFTER June 1, 2019.

Failure to complete the online paperwork by the deadline will mean the student will not be permitted to practice the first day of the season. For some sports, this could mean the student will not make the team. Contact Mr. Cross at [email protected] or 717-846-8871 x230 if you have any questions and to be sure you have a valid ImPACT Test on file. If you need technical assistance with Arbiter Athlete/PlanetHS, email [email protected] .
