FAMILY TEACHER CONFERENCES |
|
We are excited to welcome you all to Family Teacher Conferences on 10/6 & 10/7. In response to some positive feedback, we are going to offer our conferences in-person and via Zoom. Our sessions on the evening of 10/6 will be in-person. The sessions from 8-11:30am on 10/7 will be via Zoom, and the sessions from 11:30-3pm on 10/7 will again be in-person. We feel that this will provide the flexibility for our families to meet with their students’ teachers in a way that works best for everyone. As always if you are unable to attend conferences, please contact the teacher and make arrangements to meet separately.
More detailed information regarding conference registration will be sent out early next week.

Please be mindful of your student's well being on a daily basis and keep them home from school if they are experiencing COVID-like symptoms. The Pandemic rages on and the health office must send students home who have symptoms. Symptoms include: fever (100.4 or higher), new onset of moderate to severe headache, shortness of breath, new cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, new loss of sense of taste or smell, fatigue from unknown cause, muscle or body aches from unknown cause.
Know that a negative PCR test is required by public health for your student to be admitted back to school if they had been sent home due to COVID symptoms. Per public health guidelines, rapid tests of any sort are not acceptable.
We appreciate all your efforts in partnering with us to keep York a safe place to learn.

Starting Monday, September 27th, students will need to have a pass to leave the cafe/commons or fieldhouse during the lunch periods. We will not be allowing students to leave at the halfway bell without a pass. The only exception is for our Freshman Fog students. If students need to access the learning labs during their lunch period, they need to obtain a pass from their teacher prior to their lunch period.
Also please speak with your students about cleaning their lunch tables each day. Students should be throwing away their garbage and returning any cafeteria trays to the appropriate location. Our maintenance staff works very hard each day to keep our buildings clean. We ask that students do their own part as well.

Young Hearts for Life is coming to York on September 30th! |
|
We are pleased to bring the Young Hearts for Life® (YH4L) Cardiac Screening Program to York Community Hight School on September 30, 2021. All students who have proper authorization and are present the day of the screening, will be tested. Please be aware that repeat ECG testing is recommended every two years.
YH4L will provide this free heart screening called an electrocardiogram (ECG) to identify students at risk for sudden cardiac death. To date over 240,000 students have been screened as a result of YH4L. More information about the screening can be found here.
A simple ECG, when used to screen young adults can detect certain serious heart conditions. Recording the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes attached to the skin with a mild adhesive, can detect approximately 70% of the abnormalities or “markers” from these heart conditions that are associated with sudden cardiac death that a stethoscope cannot. ECG screenings result in less than 2% of the tests being falsely positive. This may require additional evaluation and testing by your physician. We believe that the benefit of this potentially lifesaving screening outweighs this concern.
We encourage you to discuss this screening with your child. Your child’s participation in the screening is your decision. We want to assure you that students’ confidentiality, privacy and individual modesty will be respected throughout all aspects of the program. Only female technicians will test girls and they will be screened in an area separate from boys. The results will only be shared with the parents/guardian. The school will not get your child’s results.
