Vaccination Records

These need to be on file for every student. You can drop it off in the school office, mail it or email it to cwing@newarkcatholic.org.

Medication Administration Record (if applicable)

Also, if applicable, be sure to print, fill out and bring to the school a Medication Administration Record (MAR). This informs the school of prescription medications your student takes (includes Asthma Inhaler and Epinephrine Autoinjector use).

Graphing Calculator

All students in grades 9-12 are required to have a TI 84 Plus graphing calculator (Texas Instruments). They are often on sale throughout the summer months at stores such as Staples and Wal Mart, so grab one and take advantage of the sale if you do not yet own one.

Summer Reading Assignment

NCHS students in grades 9-11 are expected to complete a summer reading assignment by the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year. You can access information for your student's grade level/class at this link.

Sophomores and juniors should join the respective google classroom. Codes can be found in the documents available through the link above.

Should incoming freshmen families prefer a paper copy of the assignment, they can pick up a packet in the school office.

Freshmen can direct questions to Miss Bogner (lbogner@newarkcatholic.org), and sophomores/juniors can direct questions to Mr. Ernest (ternest@newarkcatholic.org). Both will periodically check email throughout the summer.
