Welcome to all of our new freshmen parents! If you have had a child attend TCH previously,welcome back! When a student enters high school, it can be just as scary for the parents as it isfor the student. I put together some tips to help you through the first few months, and hopefullyhelp your child have a great start!
#1) Read the School Newsletter. Everything you want to know (and sometimes don’t want toknow) is in the monthly newsletter. It is packed full of information that parents need to know. Youcan find out when grades come out, what time dances end, who to contact for assistance. Inaddition, you receive an updated monthly calendar.
#2) Get your Child Involved. If your child has too much free time on his or her hands, this couldlead to trouble. Don’t be afraid about your child balancing school work, sports, and clubs. Clubsand sports teach them to be more responsible and organized. Going home and watching TV everyday teaches them to be lazy. Your children will only get out of high school what he or she puts intoit! Check out our school handbook for the many extra curricular offerings - and we do have a lotof them!
#3) Friends. Know with whom your child is hanging around and don’t be afraid to ask questions.If they ask to spend a night, call the parents and ask about the friend’s curfew and restrictions. Ifyour child gives you a story, check it out!
#4) Communication. Nagging or asking a million questions is not communication. LISTEN. Letyour child tell you about his or her day on their own. Let them know that you are interested in whatthey have to say, even if it isn’t juicy gossip. You will find they will enjoy sharing things with youmore often.
#5) Set Expectations. Talk to your child about the pressures of sex, drugs and alcohol. Let’sface it; it’s everywhere. Most students feel that their parents have no clue about what goes onand some may be right. Keep educated about popular drugs and what goes on today, and talk toyour child about these issues. Tell them often about your expectations. Don’t just assume theyknow. Check out www.theantidrug.com for lots of useful information.
#6) Go with your Gut! If you notice any major changes in grades, grooming, hygiene or attitude,don’t brush it off as normal teen problems. If the change is big enough to notice, recognize it andget some help from the school. If progress reports or report cards seem too good to be true, callthe school and double check. Don’t ignore anything that you find suspicious. Usually, your firstinstinct is right, because you know your child better than anyone else.
#7) Valuables or $. Do not allow your child to bring valuable items or large amounts of money toschool. We do have occasional theft, especially in the locker rooms. All students have a lockerwith a lock, and can keep equipment, valuables, jewelry and money locked up during lunch andP.E. classes. Thieves can only steal what is lying around, so part of the responsibility is on thestudent. Better safe than sorry!
#8) Uniform. Check your child’s hair and uniform to make sure they are following the dress code.If in violation, they will get written up for detention or even Saturday school. Let them know yousupport the school rules.
#9) Parental Involvement. Join us for our school Mass on Thursday mornings, attend athleticevents and special functions, or join a parent group. Even though your child may act like he/shedoesn’t want you here, it means a lot to see you around!
#10) Bullying. If your child is coming home from school or practice upset because of teasing orbullying, please let us know. The only way we can handle the situation is if we know about it.Please call me at Ext.102 and we will try to solve the problem in a way that is best for your child.We do not tolerate bullying or harassment on our campus.
GOOD LUCK, AND HERE’S TO A WONDERFUL YEAR!

It’s off to the races!The school year has just started, but before you know it,
we will be counting down the days until May, graduation, and summervacation once again. Every year I like to remind faculty and studentsalike that there is no other profession where you literally do startover each and every year as you do in education. Whether it is ateacher facing new students or students facing new teachers andclasses, every year is different and a new beginning. What happenedlast year is old news and students have a chance to erase mistakesthey may have made in the past year. And, that’s the way I like tolook at it, rather optimistically. Even if things were not so goodacademically last year, here’s an opportunity to start over. Encourageyour student to remember that and to treat the start of the schoolyear as a new beginning, a clean slate, and the beginning of agreat future.
Where’s my classroom?Parents, rest assured, your children adapt to new situations
much better than we think! As your students have no doubt toldyou, our new classroom addition was not ready for the start ofschool thanks to some construction delays. As a result, everyone,teachers and students alike, had to start the year in temporaryquarters. It was amazing how smoothly our first week went, despitethe fact that few teachers were located in the rooms listed on thestudent schedules, or that lunches were also switched around atthe last minute. Very few of our 680 students were lost or went tothe wrong lunch. It helps reassure all of us that, when they leavethe nests here at school and at home, our little birds will surviveand not get lost.
We will go through the moving process twice more thisyear, once when the new building’s 13 classrooms are ready andagain when the theology building’s five rooms are completed. Eachand every one of our students will have at least two classes in thenew buildings, since all social studies and English classes will meetthere. The new classrooms are gorgeous, bright and HUGE!
Progress reports and report cardsOur first quarter progress reports will be issued to students
on Wednesday, September 13. There is no reason why your studentwill not bring home the official printed progress report on that date!
First quarter report cards will be issued on Monday, October16, which is also our parent-teacher conference day. No first quarterreport cards are issued to students. The report must be picked upby a parent or guardian. Why? Because we feel strongly, as a school,that doing so helps us to establish the lines of communication withparents. All of our teachers will be on campus from 11:00 a.m. to 7p.m. to meet with you and discuss the progress of your student.You are not required to meet with the teachers, but this is a day setaside for you to do so. Even a quick “hi, call me if you need me” isappreciated by the teachers. See you that day!

ACADEMICS
Marty Heintz - Assistant PrincipalOh, What a Beautiful Site…
To look out and see all the tennis shoes so white! Since most of ourstudents purchased the white Reeboks it is great to see all the studentslook the same. Some students chose the black shoe and a handful chosethe brown dress shoe, but even those still look uniform.
Many high schools are going with the logos on everything now, and I amglad we got a jump on it this year. Many students try and wear non-approved pants and the logos should help with this problem. My goalthis year is to keep consistency with the girls’ shorts and skirts. Manygirls roll the waistband on their shorts over, to make them shorter, orwear them unbuttoned and on the hips. They try and hide this by rollingtheir shirt over instead of tucking them in. Students will consistently bewritten up for this.If any student removes a logo and puts in on a non-uniform pant, theywill face serious consequences.I hope you as a parent support our rules and help keep your child inuniform at all times.
PARKING SPOTS
Only a handful of parking spots remain now that the juniors and seniorspurchased their parking spots. I will once again give out spots to thesophomores that are ready to drive to school. Please understand that notevery sophomore will get a parking spot. We only have so much spaceand we cannot create anymore.
