IT’S TIME FOR A SCHOOL HEALTH RECORD UPDATE!

According to the School health Code of Pennsylvania, students are required to have certain health exams and immunizations at specific intervals during their school years.


PHYSICAL EXAM & IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL


  • 11th GRADE PHYSICAL EXAM – May be completed on the first day of the 10th grade year or after to count as the 11th-grade physical. Please turn this form in by 10/01/24.
  • 12th GRADE IMMUNIZATION - The Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV) booster dose (or an exception notice): To meet this requirement, the vaccine must be obtained at age 16 or older. The vaccine and the record must be turned in before the start of 12th grade. (If possible, please turn this in to the school nurse by the end of your child's 11th-grade year).


The 11th grade physical exam appointment typically includes the required vaccine, the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV) that is required for entry into 12th grade. Please ask your child’s health care provider about this required immunization during the appointment.


Thank you in advance for providing this important update. Please contact the nurse’s office with any questions or concerns at 717-846-6789 ext. 1320 or email mdonner@cysd.k12.pa.us.

School Lunches Update School Lunches Update

zoom_out_map

High School lunches are $3.00 each day. A la carte items from other food lines are available at an additional cost.


Students with a negative food account balance of $5.00 or more cannot add the additional a la carte items from the alternative food lines to their meals. The daily lunch menu meal will still be available for these students.


If your student has a negative account balance, which can be viewed in Skyward, you may deposit funds to their account using the online Revtrak system (Deposit Meal Account Funds Online) or by sending a check with your student to school. Please make checks payable to “Central York School District.” Checks may be given to the cashiers in the cafeteria for deposit into the student’s food services account. If you cannot log in to Skyward, please email familyaccess@cysd.k12.pa.us to update your contact information or reset your account password.


Please complete the Free and Reduced Meal Program application if you need assistance, Free and Reduced Meal Program. If you need additional information or assistance, don't hesitate to contact your student's school counselor or assistant principal.

I know it seems early, but it is time to start talking about the 2024 Administration of the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).


Sophomore registrations will be September 3rd through September 6th and accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Only 50 tests will be reserved for students. Registration forms must be turned into the Office of School Counseling by September 6th at 3:00 p.m. The fee is $18.00 and checks should be made payable to: Central York School District.


This year's test will be administered at Central York High School on Monday, October 7, 2024. The PSAT allows students to find out what the College Board exams are like and help predict their SAT scores from their PSAT scores. Students who take the PSAT this year are still encouraged to take it with the Junior class next year. Additionally, students will have their names placed on mailing lists of colleges that are looking for students of comparable scores (optional).

Once registered, students will receive an email from me with testing information. Please reach out with any questions you have!
