As in the past, students' requests for courses were subject to approval by teachers. With few exceptions, these requests have been honored. Barring computer errors, we do not foresee a necessity to change rosters in September. 

Schedules for incoming 7th graders will be mailed the week of August 6. All other new students will receive their schedules at New Student Orientation on Thursday, August 16, from 9-11 AM. Students in grades 8-12 will be able to access their schedules online through MMS the week of August 6. 

Anyone with an outstanding balance will not have access to a schedule until their balance is paid. Any request for a course change must be accompanied by a written parental request, teacher approval (as originally needed), and a $25.00 Late Roster Change Fee. Since the Master Roster is built according to the original registration of students, we cannot guarantee admission to particular classes. For incoming new students, if an error has been made in placement, teachers will initiate the needed change and no fee will be assessed. No course changes will be permitted after two calendar weeks once school begins. No changes will be made after September 14, however, track changes in courses will be considered into the first quarter at the discretion of the subject teacher for any student who has been inaccurately placed in a course.

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.
