Weekly Bulletin
October 29, 2020
Dress Code
We will be returning to full dress code on Monday as we start Term 2. We have reminded students that they need to be in dress code and boys have had two weeks of notice that their hair needs to conform to the dress code (not longer than halfway down the ear and not able to touch the eyebrows in front). We also have reminded the young men that being clean shaven is a requirement even with the masks worn.

Thank you for your help in reminding our students of the dress code rules.

Grades and End of Term
As Term 1 concludes, parents and students will be unable to see grades until the final grades are posted on Monday, November 11. This period of time allows teachers to enter final grades, review scores and make final adjustments before the grades are published. Please do not contact the teacher during this time to ask about your student's grade. All grades will be visible in "Grade History" in PowerSchool as of Monday, November 11.

AP Tests
Students interested in taking an AP test must register AND make a payment in the Counseling Suite no later than Monday, November 11. Each AP test costs $95. The registration form can be found on their AP class website. For payment, students can either choose to fill out and return a signed form (also found on their AP Class website) to have the test cost put on their Smart Tuition Account or bring a check to Mrs Hansen in the Attendance Office. Late registration will cost an additional $55 per test. 

Students who received accommodations for the PLAN, ACT or SAT must see Mr Neiswender immediately to discuss possible accommodations for AP testing. The deadline to apply for accommodations is January 2021. If you have any questions regarding AP testing, please see your AP teacher or talk with Mrs. Schuh.
Senior Grad Ads for Yearbook
Parents of seniors should have received an e-mail yesterday with details about grad ads for the yearbook. We mistakenly omitted the flyer. Please click here for that important piece of information.

Volunteer Hours
Students are reminded that they need to volunteer for a minimum of 20 hours per year. Last year's hours, if not yet completed, must also be made up before beginning this year's hours. Of the at least 80 hours by graduation, 20 must be served at a parish.

If you are new to the school, be sure to set up your getnvolved.org account. Directions were sent over the summer or can be obtained from Mrs. Waters. If your child needs help setting up his or her account, he/she is encouraged to stop by Mrs. Waters' office for help.

Senior photos: If you would like a senior photo in the yearbook, you can upload your selected image directly to our yearbook site (link below). Make sure to follow the senior picture guidelines.

Asking for your help: If you capture any pictures of your students or their team members during sporting events this year, yearbook would greatly appreciate your help. Our team is limited this year in their ability to cover sporting events due to the COVID-19 restrictions surrounding events this year. Our yearbook team would appreciate any and all pictures you are willing to share with us to help us capture our students in their extra-curricular activities. The link to upload pictures directly to our yearbook site is below. Thank you in advance for your help!
