Distance Learning Update
|
What a difference a week makes! Last week we gathered the students to tell them distance learning was a possibility and later that afternoon it became a reality. We couldn't be more proud of our faculty, staff, and students who quickly and somewhat seamlessly made the transition from school to home to assure a continuity of education.

We want to extend to you a sincere appreciation for your support and encouragement throughout the past week. We're in this together and we'll get through it as a YC family.

A Message from Ms. Heather Hoffman, Director of Admissions & Enrollment:
Recently, someone described York Catholic as the best kept secret in York County. We might be the best, but we definitely don't want us to be a secret. We want everyone to know how awesome YC is!
This is where you come in. The best way to share all that YC has to offer is through parent referrals. YOU are our best ambassadors! Please share what you love about our community with your friends.
Your efforts will not go unnoticed. If you refer a family to YC and they enroll, we will give you a tuition discount of $250. That's $250 per referral! If you refer 3 families and they all enroll, that's a tuition discount of $750 ($250 x 3 families).
Click
here
for the parent referral form. It is also available on the
York Catholic website
on the
Forms and Documents
page. Make sure you complete this form to get credit. Thank you in advance for referring a new family to YC. Together we will make sure YC is no longer a secret!
