 At York Catholic, we are grateful for your partnership with us in the education of your children who bless our community every day with their talents. Please read the following information thoroughly as it contains important information regarding course selection, re-enrollment, and tuition assistance for the 2020-2021 school year.
Online Course Selection
Junior High
Junior High students received a list of courses for 2020-2021. Please review that list with them, provide the necessary parent signature, and have your student return the course selection form. 7th grade forms were due Friday, January 24; and 8th grade forms are due tomorrow, Friday, January 31. Junior high students will register for courses online during computer class in early February.

Senior High
Senior High students should be talking with their subject level teachers regarding appropriate course selection for 2020-2021. Beginning Monday, February 3, students in grades 9 through 11 will have access to the online course selection portal in Vision. This will remain open for three weeks. During this time, students should select their courses for next school year. After completing the process online, students are instructed to print the course selection sheet and have each of their teachers sign next to the desired subject courses. A parent signature is required as well. These forms will be due February 21.
Parents,
please take the time to click here to review our course catalog for next school year.
We are excited to be offering four new courses: Music Theory for grades 10-12, American Cultural Studies for grade 12, AP Language & Composition for grade 11, and AP 2D Art and Design for grade 12.
Re-enrollment
In an effort to prepare for the budget and enrollment numbers for next year, our re-enrollment process is aligned with our course selection. Tuition figures for next year will be published in early April after budget approval by the School Board. In order to budget appropriately, we are asking families to re-enroll now. The early re-enrollment fee is $200.00. After February 21, 2020, the re-enrolment fee will increase to $250.00, with an increase to $300.00 after April 3, 2020. $200.00 of the re-enrollment fee will be applied to your child's 2020-2021 fees.
Tuition Assistance
If you plan to apply for tuition assistance for the 2020-2021 school year, please be sure to do so no later than March 1, 2020. Please be sure to note the new deadline as it is earlier than previous years. Please see the additional information below titled "

Any interested sophomore is invited and encouraged to take the PSAT 10 this spring at York Catholic. The PSAT 10 mirrors the PSAT, and offers a tenth grader the opportunity to preview and practice for the actual PSAT without stress over score reporting. Scores from the PSAT 10 are not reported and do not impact college applications in any way. Students benefit from the opportunity to engage with the material and become familiar with the format of the test before taking the PSAT in October of their junior year. PSAT test scores do count; those scores are referenced to determine Merit Scholars, and free practice tests are available online through College Board. Features of the PSAT 10 are as follows:
- The PSAT 10 is a three-hour exam, featuring a math section and a reading/writing section.
- Each section is worth 760 points for a possible total composite of 1520.
- The math section targets algebra and advanced math problems. A spring testing session is optimal as sophomores will be concluding a year of Algebra II.
The test will be offered at York Catholic from 8-11 AM on Saturday, April 18. Any interested sophomore must register by February 14. Click here for the registration form; they are also available in the main office. Cost per student is $20.00, and checks can be made out to York Catholic. Questions may be directed to Kathy Hand at
[email protected]
