Dear Parents:
Last
week, the diocesan superintendent of schools visited Charleston Catholic for a
couple of hours. Having never visited
Charleston Catholic, she was eager to see the school building and its
inhabitants. As I whisked her through
the school in a whirlwind since her time was limited, I stepped back, trying to
see through her eyes. I saw what she
saw: energetic, engaged students and
staff members who were content to be where they were, comfortable with each
other, and happily responsive to her.
Sister Elaine was effusive in her praise following her tour saying that
Charleston Catholic was impressive, not only in West Virginia, but also
compared to schools she had worked with in dioceses in New York, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and other states. She
mentioned that Charleston Catholic sets a high standard for other schools to
achieve.
And
Sister Elaine is right. We do set
a high standard for academics, service, and faith and personal
development. But perhaps more
importantly, we continue to raise the bar for ourselves, knowing that as a
school and as individuals we must continue to evolve. If we stop examining what we are doing, seeing
those actions with fresh eyes, we will ever so slowly drift backward, not
realizing until it is too late that we have fallen behind. As Benjamin Franklin
wrote: “Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success
have no meaning.” At
CCHS our bottom line is student success.
We aim high. So for the sake of
our students’ futures, Charleston Catholic continues to be a wonderful,
beautiful work in progress.
Our school continues to prosper and evolve. With the wonderful student body, the talented
and dedicated staff, the supportive parents, and encouragement from the alumni
and community at large, there’s just no imagining the great things ahead!
Debra
K. Sullivan, Principal
CONDOLENCES – We express our
sympathy to our students and families who have lost loved ones recently. May the souls of the
departed rest in peace:
math teacher Ann Hamm’s mother; Ed Kingry, father of CCHS graduates
Katie, Andrew, and Jimmy; Larry Haddad, father of CCHS alumni Elizabeth and
Lauren; senior Kat Underwood’s father; sixth grader Austin Wilson’s grandfather;
the great grandmother of Andy, Ally, and Brittney Hoyer; freshman Rachel
Rodgers’ grandmother, and Kristi and Casey Gennette’s
grandmother. Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.
WELCOME TO THE
FAREWELL RECEPTION – Please join others
in the CCHS community to wish farewell and thanks to several faculty members
who will be leaving at the end of the school year. On Tuesday, May 19, from 4 – 6 p.m., PVA will
host a reception in the Commons for three of our teachers. Math teacher Ann Hamm and Spanish teacher
Gail Stone will be retiring (although Mrs. Stone will continue her involvement
in our music program) while math teacher Beth Vickers will be joining her
husband in Colorado. Please come and
share your memories and good wishes!
TUITION
INFORMATION FOR 2009-10 -- including invoices and loan information from First Bank of
NEW AND USED TEXTBOOKS
FOR 2009-2010
-- We will be continuing our system of selling used textbooks and ordering new
textbooks through the school. Forms to
order NEW textbooks will be
sent home with students the first week of May.
These orders are due with payment by Friday, June 12, following the used
textbook sale on Tuesday and Wednesday (June 9-10). We
strongly urge you to buy known (i.e., for required courses and
Latin levels 2 through 4) used textbooks and
order new books by Friday, June 12, in order to ensure that they will be
available for the start of the year. Consumables such as Wordly Wise
for all grades, theology in middle school, and health for high school should
definitely be ordered at this time.
There will be a second order in August during registration for
the additional classes and electives students are scheduled into. Please note that Spanish and French
textbooks will be new next year and
should not be turned in for resale.
Latin books will remain the same.
As
in previous years, textbooks that families want to sell will be collected from
students as they finish using them for exams.
Books to be sold should contain a
stamped, self-addressed envelope and be turned into the classroom where the
book is used. Used workbooks cannot be resold.
Books will quickly be sorted by staff and PVA volunteers (thank you,
PVA!!!!). The used textbook sale will take place from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Tuesday,
June 9th, and Wednesday, June 10th. Used textbooks for required courses and ones
that students know they will definitely be scheduled into (i.e. 2nd
year of a language) will be available for purchase. Leftover used books and books for
additional classes and electives will again be for sale during August
registration.
Because
of the enormous amount of time involved in processing, pricing, and organizing
the used-textbook event, students must
turn in books for resale by Friday, June 5th (earlier would be
better!). Students should NOT leave
books in their lockers and assume that they will be processed. Senior books will be collected through their
exam classes during senior exam days May 21st and 22nd. Books for other grades will be collected in
their exam classrooms June 3rd, 4th, and 5th.
VIRTUS– All parents or other adults
who volunteer, coach, drive students, chaperone, etc., are required by the
Diocese to complete the diocesan sexual abuse awareness training before being
allowed to work with our students.
Complete information, links, and forms are on the CCHS website. Please contact Ms. FitzGerald with
questions. The next Virtus training sessions
are scheduled at CCHS for Wednesday, June 10, at 6 p.m. and Thursday, August 20,
at 6 p.m. Please pre-register at www.virtusonline.org.
TUTORING ISSUES – Done properly, learning is just plain hard work. It means bearing down to master topics and
skills that don’t necessarily come easily.
If your child is having difficulty in class, before you engage the
services of a tutor, read teachers’ comments on progress reports and report
cards and follow up with phone conversations with classroom teachers. Is your child paying attention in class,
taking notes, doing homework? Chances
are that improvement in one or more of these areas will make a marked
difference in your child’s performance.
Teachers test what THEY teach and give subtle and not-so-subtle clues as
to what is most important. They are
available after school, before school, and often at lunch to work with students
(and they do!). On the other hand, tutors
can become crutches, ones that students can use to avoid engaging in classroom
activities, often exacerbating the situation.
MRS. THOMAS’ TIDBITS –
1) SAT and ACT testing and
registration dates (CCHS code: 490-205)
SAT I and II (can register on line -- www.collegeboard.org):
TEST DATE DEADLINE LATE REGISTRATION
June 6 May
5 May 15
ACT: (can register on line -- www.act.org)
TEST DATE DEADLINE LATE REGISTRATION
June 13 May
8 May 9 – 22
2) CCHS encourages students to take both the ACT
and the SAT before the end of their junior year. Juniors may need to take SAT II subject
tests which are best taken at the end of the junior year or upon completion of
courses being tested.
3)
Seniors will need to complete their community service hours by the
second Friday of May (May 8).
4)
Now that seniors have decided on their choice of colleges they need to
give Mrs. Thomas a senior photo, a cover of their college’s view book, and any
pennant, pin, or other article related to their college.
5) The 69 members of the class of
2009 have applied to 140 separate colleges.
A busy crew!
6)
Students needing to make up class time for excessive class periods missed
will be notified by Ms. FitzGerald by May 22 (seniors will be notified
earlier). Hours to be made up will be
scheduled on exam days after dismissal time.
Remember, only school-related activities (e.g., academic competitions,
college visits, and early dismissal for school athletic events) are
excused. Attendance at dance
workshops/performances, family trips, non-school-related athletic events, etc.
are NOT excused for attendance purposes and must be made up in order to receive
Carnegie credits for classes.
7)
We hope to receive Stanford Test results in time to enclose them with
the final report cards.
8) Senior
final transcripts will be mailed to the colleges indicated by the students by
June 23. Mrs. Thomas has mailed a letter
with a form to the parents and the form was to have been completed and returned
to Mrs. Thomas (past due now!!!!), along with an addressed, stamped envelope to
the college which will receive the final transcript.
CCHS ALUMNI GOLF
TOURNAMENT
– is scheduled for Friday, May 15, at Edgewood Country Club. Registration begins at 11 a.m. with a shot
gun start at noon. The cost is $100 per
person ($35 is tax deductible). Please
contact Bill Gillispie to reserve your spot.
He can be reached at cchsathletics@yahoo.com or 342-8415.
ADS IN NEWSLETTER – The $25-per-newsletter business-card size spots help our families connect with and support each other, as well as offset the cost of printing the newsletter. Thanks to those families who have already submitted their ads for publication!
FINAL EXAMS
FOR GRADES 6 - 11 –Exam dates have been well publicized in the newsletter since Spring 2008 and on the school website. All classes will have exams and exams must
be taken at the scheduled times. Students
should prepare for exams by reviewing past tests and quizzes, using study
guides that some teachers have prepared, rereading notes and homework/class
assignments, reworking math problems, and so on. Students who miss semester exams for reasons
other than illness (who will be given the opportunity to make up the exams)
will receive an F for those tests. Just
a reminder regarding the seniors- only exam exemption policy: Seniors may be exempt from second semester
exams if: 1) the course is a two-semester course; 2) the teacher chooses to
allow exam exemptions; 3) third and fourth quarter grades average toat least 93; 4) fine arts requirements were completed by
March 20 and community service requirements by May 8. Students enrolled in AP courses
must take the AP exam. School finals
will not be given to seniors in AP courses but will be administered to
non-seniors. Students who elect to take
AP tests in non-AP classes will follow the exam exemption policy. Namely, students in non-AP classes who choose
to take AP exams will also take teacher-developed final exams unless they meet
the exemption standards (seniors only).
Second semester report cards will be mailed by Monday, June 15.

MEDIUM AND LARGE GLOVES – are desperately needed by our
science department. Sharks and pigs are
on the high
school menu of items to be dissected!
Please contact Pam Pulliam or Amy Arnold.
ATTENTION STUDENTS IN GRADES 6-8 WHO LIKE TO SING -- The CCHS Choir needs you to
lead the student body in song during our school liturgies. There will be
exploratories during the first quarter (only) next year for all those with a
sincere interest in becoming part of the music ministry. In addition to learning
old and new hymns and choir anthems, we will explore the role of music and
cantors in the mass, effective singing techniques, basic music reading and
vocabulary. Come let us sing joyfully unto the Lord!
Contact Gail Stone at CCHS for more information.
NOTES FROM THE PARENT VOLUNTEER ASSOCIATION (PVA) – 1) PVA Polos and Fleece - If you would like to
get a jump on uniform ordering for next year, you may pre-order white polos and fleece jackets from May 18-22. Download order
forms from the CCHS website and send orders with payment to the school office.
Pre-orders will be available for pick up at August registration. IMPORTANT UPDATE: The charcoal gray fleece jackets worn by CCHS
high school students are being phased out. A student currently owning a
charcoal gray fleece that is in good shape and still fits may wear that fleece
during the '09-'10 school year. 2) INNISBROOK ORDERS – may be placed throughout the year and will be
shipped directly to you -- and CCHS will get credit for your order. Go to www.innisbrook.com and click on “Buy
Innisbrook Products” and enter CCHS school number
121949. Contact Lisa Dundervill (344-2566) for more
information. 3) Cafeteria Volunteers:
If you are interested in helping in the cafeteria for the interim schedule
(August and September, 2009) please send your name, email address, complete
mailing address (street, city, and zip code) and phone number to Chrissy Hovorka at 343-8040 or
chovorka@suddenlink.net. The regular
cafeteria volunteer schedule for October 2009 through June 2010 will be
completed for the school year after volunteers submit their CCHS Cafeteria
Volunteer Form following 2009-2010 school registration.
SCIENCE IN THE SUMMER- - Mrs. Toni Erby and Mrs. Amy Arnold, science teachers at CCHS, are offering
a science camp for rising 6th graders. From Astronomy to Zoology,
this camp will cover many aspects of science with a hands-on approach. The camp
will be held from June 23rd to June 26th from 9 am to 3
pm. The cost is $235.00. Contact Mrs. Arnold or Mrs. Erby at (304)
342-8415, arnoldad1@yahoo.com
or tonyaerby@yahoo.com
if you are interested in enrolling your child.
STUDENT SAFETY – Please continue to encourage
your children to walk together in groups when they are out and about. Young people feel invincible and aren’t
always tuned in to their surroundings.
PROGRESS REPORTS – are enclosed in this mailing. Please help your children set reasonable
goals for the remainder of the school year.
The race isn’t over until it’s over!
If students let up in their efforts, the good
grades at progress report time may not necessarily equate to good grades at the
quarter or semester – and vice versa! Also,
keep in mind that second semester grades directly impact a student’s athletic
eligibility for fall and winter sports, i.e., a 2.0 is required. And a reminder to seniors (and all other
students as they look to the future):
the New York Times and other newspapers and magazines have cited
the increasingly prevalent practice of 1) rescinding college admissions offers
due to second semester senioritis, and 2) of looking closely at social websites
such as MySpace and FaceBook. As our
students have been told, once they put something on the internet, “it’s
public.” Some students have “gotten the
message” and are using these websites as marketing tools, putting up
information about themselves that present positive impressions (e.g., their
sports photos and stats). Something to
think about!
HELP! MY
CHILD WANTS TO BE AN ART MAJOR! – Art teacher
Becky Burch will host an informative meeting for parents of students in rising
9th-12th grades who are interested in "creative" college majors and
related careers -- art, design, architecture, marketing, public relations,

activity forms must be submitted during the quarter in which the service was
performed in order to receive credit.
Students who fail to meet their requirements during the school year must

CCHS. Underclassmen must fulfill all
fine arts and service requirements by May 29. After that date, the hours
incomplete will be doubled.

if you buy tickets to the Nationwide Tour Players Cup (June 25-28) at the Pete

Prom provides an exceptionally dramatic example of
the beauty of our community as staff, students, parents, former parents,
relatives, and others shared in the effort.
This year, the culmination of months of planning and hard work,
spearheaded by Mrs. Scharf, Ms. McCartney, and the
energetic junior class, was truly spectacular.
So many hands working together created something astonishingly
beautiful. The decorations, the food,
the music, and the ambience were first-class.
Students, gussied up for their big night, entered into another
dimension, truly an escape to the East.

HOPE 2009 (Housing Outreach Project Express) – In June 2009, a group of 70 Charleston Catholic
students, teachers, parents, and alumni will offer emergency home repair assistance to 12-14 low-income families in
Clay County. This summer marks the 19th
consecutive year that we have participated in a ministry of emergency home
repair in a neighboring county.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT. We need to raise $30,000 for construction supplies.
Please consider making a donation to purchase needed building materials
to make the homes of economically disadvantaged families warmer, drier, and
