 Reading
York Catholic High School views the development of life-long habits of reading as a hallmark of an educated individual, and it encourages each student to read widely throughout the year. The school also recognizes the value of 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 information regarding summer reading. The assignments are also available for student access on the home page of the YC website at
www.yorkcatholic.org
in the Announcements section, titled, "Summer Assignments," and on the Forms & Documents page. Reminder that parents can only access the assignments through their student's Google account. Each grade level's requirements are clearly explained and reading responses are due on or before Friday, September 6.
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 online Summer Math Assignments on or before Friday, September 6. The assignments are available for student access on the home page of the YC website at
www.yorkcatholic.org
in the Announcements section, titled, "Summer Assignments," and on the Forms & Documents page. Reminder that parents can only access the assignments through their student's Google account.

| Student Medical Requirements for 2019-20 |
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has established school immunization requirements for all students. The regulations are intended to ensure that children attending school in PA are adequately protected against potential outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. A child must have the required medically-appropriate vaccines or a plan to complete those vaccines or risk exclusion from school.
Children in grades 7-12 need the following immunizations for attendance:
- 4 doses of tetanus * (1 dose on or after 4th birthday)
- 4 doses of diphtheria* (1 dose on or after 4th birthday)
- 4 doses of acellular pertussis* (1 dose on or after 4th birthday)
- 4 doses of polio (4th dose on or after 4th birthday and at least 6 months after previous dose given)
- 2 doses of measles, mumps, and rubella (usually given as MMR)
- 3 doses of hepatitis B
- 2 doses of varicella (chickenpox) or evidence of immunity
- 2 doses meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV)
- 1st dose is given 11-15 years of age; a 2nd dose is required at age 16 or entry into 12th grade.
- If the dose was given at 16 years of age or older, only one dose is required.
- 1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) - age 11 or older
* Usually given as DTaP or DTP or DT or Td
If you submitted doctor's documentation of the administration of these vaccines previously, you do not need to repeat this step unless an additional booster or immunization is needed or has been given in the past year. (Students entering grades 10, 11, & 12 - please note the dose requirements for the MCV vaccine.) All new students must submit doctor's documentation of the dates the above doses were administered to the York Catholic nurse by August 23, 2019. If any of the required immunizations will not be given by August 23, please click here for the PLAN form to detail the dates the immunizations are scheduled to be given.
Under Pennsylvania state law, students without the required immunizations or a plan with scheduled dates of administration on file, cannot be admitted to school.
 Incoming 11th Grade Physicals
The School Health Law of Pennsylvania requires that all children must have a medical examination upon entry into grade 11. A medical examination is also required for those children who have transferred to York into any grade from other states or from other Pennsylvania areas and who have not sent records of previous examinations. Please click here for the School Physical Form to be completed by a private physician. Return the form to the school nurse no later than August 23, 2019. Any student who does not return this form will receive a medical examination by a school physician.
 Incoming 7th Grade Dentals
The School Health Law of Pennsylvania requires that children receive a dental examination upon entry into grade 7.

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.
