CAFETERIA PRICES
The price of a student lunch for the 2012/13 school year has been increased from $1.85 to $2.00.
Parent Involvement!
According to a study released recently by the University of New Hampshire, schools would need to INCREASE per pupil spending by over $1,000 for each student in order to achieve the same results in increased student achievement that are gained with parent involvement!
So…to help your student and the school:
• Discuss events/activities, course selection and class studies with your student.
• Attend school meetings and events.
• Volunteer at school.
• Keep student Facebook time to a minimum. A quantitative meta- analysis reported by Online provides evidence that more social media time translates into lower grades!
NEW POLICIES AND PROCEDURES in 2012/13
• Changes in Dress Code. All shorts must reach mid-thigh as a minimum. Any holes in pants must also be below mid-thigh. All shirts must fully cover both shoulders.
• Keystone Exams for Juniors and underclassmen in appropriate classes.
• The SCSD Board of Directors is considering initiating a fee for parking at CHS. More details later!

UNOFFICIAL ANNUAL YEARLY PROGRESS!
This year’s senior class scored a 59.7% proficiency rate on the PSSA Mathematics test and a 66.2% passing rate on the Reading Test. While both reflect the general overall upward trend of the last 10 years, neither mark was high enough to qualify the school for Annual Yearly Progress (AYP).
As always, we will continue to work hard to get EVERY student to proficiency.
Seniors who fell short in junior testing will remediate and have one more opportunity to meet the graduation requirement this fall on the Senior PSSA re-test.
As of the time of this writing, Juniors (and underclassmen in Biology, Algebra I and Literature) will be taking the new Pennsylvania AYP measure, the Keystone Exam, this fall or spring. More details will be provided as they become available.
TAKE NOTE!
--Yearbooks for 2011/12 are expected to arrive shortly! Watch the school website and the Morrisons Cove Herald for announcements.
--Juniors and seniors planning on taking either the ACT or SAT should check for dates and registration deadlines in the Guidance Office.
--School nurses will be measuring and weighing students during the first four weeks of school.
