School Vision & Hearing Screening Notification

On Friday, November 18, we will have vision and hearing screenings for grades 9, 11 and our transfer students in the Nurse's Clinic. Students will be called down throughout the day. Please see the attached informational sheet from PSI. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) requires us to hold these screenings yearly. If you have any questions or choose to opt-out, please contact Julie McCann, MA via email nurse@elyriacatholic.com

REMINDER

After School Supervision

To assist in the supervision of students after school, students will only be permitted to remain in the hallway directly outside the main office. Study tables will be available for students to utilize until they can be picked up. The cafeteria will not be accessible. Once a coach arrives, student athletes will be able to access the locker room and Coliseum area. A student must be under direct supervision in the academic wing if they are being tutored, working with a teacher, or participating in clubs and/or after school activities. Thank you for your cooperation!

CASH RAFFLE DRESS-DOWN DEADLINE IS APPROACHING!

This Friday, November 18 is the deadline to return your twenty tickets with payment for your student to receive their week-long dress down. On Friday, a confirmation email will be sent to all students who have earned their right to dress down the week of November 28 - December 2.

During first-period classes on Monday, November 28, students who have earned their dress down will be given a lanyard. The lanyard must be worn if a student is dressing down. We suggest that students leave their lanyards in their lockers at the end of each day. Students dressing down without the lanyard will be sent to the office. This is an earned incentive, so we will enforce the dress-down.
