Parents/Guardians,
While the last seven months have brought us all a great deal of challenges, we are extremely excited to welcome everyone back to Archbishop Carroll for the 2020-2021 school year! While the full reopening plan for this year will follow shortly, this letter will provide you with the information regarding the release of student schedules.
Roster and PowerSchool Login Information
Student Rosters will be sent electronically this year. They will be sent out on Thursday morning, August 20th, by 9AM. PowerSchool will be reactivated at that time as well. Students will be able to view their rosters on PowerSchool and in the email sent to the parents. New students will have their PowerSchool login information included on the email attachment.
Students who currently have holds placed on their tuition accounts will not receive their roster. An e-mail will be sent to these parents/guardians on Wednesday, August 19th.
On Friday, August 21st, all parents who do not have an active PowerSchool login will have the parent login information sent via email. For rosters and parent access, please check your spam folders if they do not appear. They are being sent through the same process as report cards were sent last year.
Students have been assigned a day (A or B), which will appear on the top of their roster under “Group”. This group will correspond to specific days on the school calendar, which will be available on the school website shortly:
Odd Numbers (Days 1, 3, 5) - Students in Group A will attend school at Carroll; students in Group B will learn synchronously at home.
Even Numbers (Days 2, 4, 6) - Students in Group B will attend school at Carroll; students in Group A will learn synchronously at home.
“X” Days - ALL students will learn from home; the building will be closed for deep cleaning. More information on these days will follow.
Rosters were created to ensure the split of students were as even as possible, and to ensure that students in the same household were attending school on the same day. If there was an error and students in the same household are not currently in the same group, please e-mail me at [email protected].
Due to the increased process of preparing the school for all students to return in September, all questions or concerns on rosters must be sent via e-mail to [email protected] after Thursday, or follow the Roster Review Options below.
Roster Review Period Options
All student rosters were created off of student requests from the previous year. Freshman rosters were generated off of previous grades and placement test results. If a request could not be met, all attempts to provide students with a similar course were made. All Course Exception Forms for returning students that were submitted were reviewed. If a student met the prerequisites listed in the Course Catalog, they were approved. Should a student wish to request a roster change, they may do so in one of two ways (A parent signature is required on ALL forms or they will not be processed):
The roster review form can be found here.
Complete the above Roster Review form, and mail the form, with the fee, back to:
Archbishop Carroll High School
Attn: Roster Review
211 Matsonford Road, Radnor, PA 19087
Forms mailed must be received no later than Thursday, August 27th.
A student or parent can present at Carroll on Tuesday August 25th or Wednesday August 26th and drop off the form and roster change fee in an envelope in the Roster Review Dropbox that will be outside Door “A”. The Dropbox will be available from 8:30AM until 1:30PM.
The following classes were not able to be offered this year due to class size or teacher availability:
AP Music Theory
Athletic Training
Latin
For a student to have their roster changed, a number of factors have to be met in a normal school year. This year, the added factor of the Hybrid Schedule also comes into play, likely making many roster changes extremely difficult. Please keep in mind the following: If a student submits a Roster Review Form, they understand that efforts will be made to accommodate their request if at all possible, but may result in other aspects of their schedule being changed (lunch, other classes moving periods, etc.)l. Once a form is submitted, if a change is made, that change is final and will not be re-adjusted back without a second form and fee being completed. All decisions will be returned to students on their first day of school.
There will be a final roster review period during the first two weeks of school. More information will follow at a later date.
Once again, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Archbishop Carroll in September!
Sincerely,
