Underclassmen Final Exams

Final examinations for students in Grades 8-11 are scheduled for Tuesday, June 5; Wednesday, June 6; and Thursday, June 7. It is important that all students are present for these exams.

Tuesday, June 5

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.

New Process! Sports Physicals Paperwork
to be Completed Online |
 Students wishing to participate in athletics or marching band during the 2018-2019 school year must submit the following paperwork online:
- PIAA Physical Form
- Athlete & Parent Agreement
- ImPACT Test
Students wishing to play any sport during the 2018-2019 school year MUST verify the paperwork is on file with Mr. Hayek no later than
Wednesday, August 1
, at 3 PM; no exceptions.
NEW!! PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT CHANGE
The York Catholic Athletic Department now hosts their Athletic Forms online with Arbiter Athlete, powered by PlanetHS, a software company committed to keeping student(s) safe. This digital platform will allow parents and athletes to complete and access most athletic forms (physicals, agreements, etc.) via computer, tablet, or mobile phone. It is HIPPA, COPPA, and FERPA compliant.
York Catholic will continue to host Sports Physicals at OSS Health on Powder Mill Road Thursday, June 7, from 6-7:30 PM. Cost is $15. Instead of printing 9 pages of information to take to the doctor as was needed previously, you will instead complete the information online and only print 2 pages for the doctor to review and complete.
Before forms can be completed by parent and student, ArbiterAthlete accounts must be set-up by each athlete and his or her parent. Click here for instructions on how to set-up an account. Forms will be valid for the entire 2018-2019 school year.
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. Hayek at
[email protected]
or 717-846-8871 x244 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].

Volunteer nurses and coaches are needed for Physical Night at OSS on Thursday, June 7. Nurse duties include taking blood pressures, pulses, and respiration rates. Coaches will check athletes in and out and measure heights and weights. If you are interested, contact Kyle Smink at

York Catholic Junior, Ethan Underwood, achieved the rank of Eagle Scout this past spring. He is a member of Boy Scout Troop 198 in Etters, PA and completed his Eagle project at Holy Infant Parish in Manchester, PA. Ethan organized and led a year-long project to create a Mary Devotional Area. Several students from York Catholic assisted with the work. The project included removing over 400 square feet of sod and replacing it with 7 tons of river rock, then creating a single decade of the rosary with stepping stones surrounding the statue of Mary. He raised the statue to a more reverent height, added a spotlight, and added mulch and plantings throughout the devotional area. He also included the St. Francis statue in the space and provided 2 benches for people to meditate and pray. Congratulations Ethan!
