Book Return & Item Pick-up

Thank you for your cooperation with our book and item return this week.  If students forgot to return a certain book or forgot to check for locker items left behind, they may do so next week Monday through Thursday from 8 AM-3 PM.  Please go to the Main Office entrance.  Any personal items remaining after Thursday, June 4, at 3 PM will be donated.  Please be reminded that a student's report card cannot be released until all YC items have been returned.

Quick Links


Student Communications
All students, including our graduating seniors, are asked to check their school email on a regular basis throughout the summer for important updates.

Grade 7-11 students' YC email address will be accessible on computers other than student Chromebooks.

Graduating seniors should consult the section below titled, "Senior Chromebooks" for additional information.
Senior Chromebooks
As previously communicated, members of the Class of 2020 may keep their Chromebooks.  York Catholic email addresses will stay active until July 31 so students can receive communication regarding class events and activities scheduled through July.  After July 31, a gmail address will be required for Chromebook use.  Senior Chromebooks will be unlocked from Google Chrome Management the week of June 8 meaning sites will no longer be blocked.  If any graduating senior does not plan to use his or her Chromebook in the future, it can be donated back to York Catholic by dropping it off in the main office during summer business hours of Monday through Thursday 8 AM-3 PM.
Seniors' Final Transcripts
Seniors will be happy to know that no transcript release form is needed for final transcripts. We will automatically send your final transcript to the college you indicated on your senior survey (According to York Catholic School Board policy, final transcripts cannot be released until all books are returned and outstanding tuition and fees are paid in full). If you have changed your mind about your college selection, please notify us immediately.

The timetable for final transcripts is as follows...since this is your permanent high school document moving forward, each senior final transcript is reviewed for accuracy with all elements. The Academic/Studies Office is working on this task at this time. We anticipate completion by the end of this week and will begin sending final transcripts beginning the week of June 1. 

The final transcripts will be submitted electronically through either Common Application, SCOIR, or directly to college Admissions offices via email. The method will depend on your application process with the college you are attending. It will take some time to submit all of the transcripts, but we anticipate the process will be complete by June 12 for seniors who completed all academic requirements by May 19, 2020. Both Mrs. Phillips and Ms. Dill will be submitting the final transcripts individually to each college.
