Dear Parents:

As we head into the summer season, I hope that you are beginning to relax and enjoy your family away from the sometimes overwhelming structure of the academic year. Before you do settle into summer, I would ask that you please read this letter and keep it for reference, as it does contain information that is critical to the start of the new school year.

Cheverus has mailed you an Emergency Information Form. Please carefully check the printed information and make any necessary changes. (Be sure to include a telephone number where you can be reached in the event of an emergency and two other non-parent contacts.) If you would like to be contacted by e-mail, please provide us with your email address as well. (Since Emergency Information is vitally important, as is proof of physical examination, we must ask that you provide the school this information no later than July 16^th)  No student will participate in any sport or activity or view their course schedule on Netclassroom until all required forms have been returned to the school.
Thank you very much for your help.

Instead of mailing you a cumbersome packet of additional information, we have made the information accessible to you on the Cheverus web site. Click here to download the Cheverus Forms. For other important information, review the links at the bottom of this page. Although all of the information made available to you on our website is important, I have listed below other documents that require your immediate attention:

• SCHOOL POLICY requires that all freshmen, juniors, and transfer students provide documentation of a physical exam. Cheverus encourages using the athletic Pre-Participation Physical Form available on our website. The documentation will be filed in the student’s Permanent School Health Record.

• Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Form  The Athletic Department requires that any student who plans to play a sport during the 10-11 school year, have on file a current completed physical form(physicals are good for two years). This form can be found under “Forms” or under “Athletics” on our web site. The fall sports pre-season begins on Aug. 16^th. 
• Substance Abuse Contract (Must be signed by all freshmen and transfer students) NO STUDENTS WILL PARTICPATE IN ANY ACTIVITIES OR VIEW THEIR FINAL COURSE SCHEDULE BEFORE SIGNING AND RETURNIG THIS DOCUMENT. (Due July 16^th)
• Parent Directory Form   Sign and return this document if you do not wish to be included in the Student Directory.

Please review the “Parent Information” and “Forms” sections carefully so that you will be well prepared to start the new school year. 

NOTE:  The 2010-2011 school calendar is now available.  Student orientations will begin the WEEK OF AUGUST 30^th.  FRESHMAN ORIENTATION IS ON AUGUST 31st from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)   THE NEW PARENT SOCIAL WILL BE ON SEPTEMBER 9^th FROM 5:30 – 6:30 P.M. 

THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS MUST BE RETURNED BY JULY 16^TH

• Emergency Information Form
  
• Substance Abuse Contract 
  
• Proof of Physical (if applicable)

 (No student will receive a final course schedule or participate in any sport or activity until all required forms have been returned to the school)

 Thank you for your help in providing a smooth start to the new school year.

Sincerely,

John H. R. Mullen, Principal
