BULLDOG BULLETIN December 2015 / January 2016

A Letter from the Principal

Dear Judge Memorial Catholic High School Families,

We are reminded of the turn of the season as the temperatures are dropping but spirits are rising in anticipation for the upcoming holidays.

With the change of the seasons we watched as the fall sports have drawn to a close and now our winter sports of basketball, swimming, and hockey are in session. We enjoyed our fall drama production and music productions and now we look forward to “Grease” which will be performed in January. We recently concluded our Thanksgiving Food Drive. This was a huge success. Thank you to all who were able to give. We were able to help the food bank reload their supplies. I was incredibly impressed with the generosity shown. Our goal is to continue to foster a sense of community within our student body and help our students develop their sense of communal strength.

Over the next two months we will finish the second quarter and complete the first semester. Throughout these months we will help our students prepare for their semester exams. In the same spirit of preparation we will begin to prepare for the Solemnity of Christmas. The Advent Season begins on November 29. As the Liturgical calendar begins let us all begin to prepare with piety and an expectant joy for the future.

May the LORD bless you, and keep thee; May the LORD make his face shine to upon you, and be gracious to you; May the LORD turn his countenance to you and grant you peace. ~ Numbers 6

Within our Judge Memorial community we have families of many faiths. I wish to you a joyous holiday season. Peace to our parents, faculty, staff, friends, family, alumni, and students.

May we all embrace the Advent Season with a sense of preparation and endless joy.

Grace and Peace,

Patrick Lambert Principal Ad Majorem Dei Gloriem

E-Cigarettes Pose Risk “E-Cigarettes Pose Risk” SAMHSA News. SAMHSA, Summer 2014. Web.21 September 2015

In 2003, the e-Cigarette made its way into the marketplace – and unlike its traditional cigarette counterpart, sidestepped regulatory oversight. Manufacturers, many of which also produce traditional cigarettes, position e-cigarettes as a less-harmful alternative and a cessation tool for those wanting to quit. But the addictive nature of nicotine, and exposure to the nicotine solution in the device, have raised questions regarding the benefits and risks of e-cigarettes, both to users and to the people around them. An electronic cigarette (eCig or e-cigarette) is a battery powered appliance that simulates cigarette smoking, but administers nicotine through a vapor that resembles smoke. People using an e-cigarette are “vaping” – not smoking, as with tobacco cigarettes. The device uses a liquid solution of nicotine and flavorings, inhaled when the e-cigarette is used. When the user exhales, an aerosol intended to resemble smoke is visible. “There’s so much we don’t yet know about e-cigarettes,” said Douglas Tipperman, M.S.W., a public health advisor at SAMHSA. “They are not harmless. We don’t know the health impact at the individual or the population level.” A recent study conducted by the University of California, San Diego looked specifically at e-cigarette use by individuals with mental health conditions. The study concluded that individuals with mental health conditions had a smoking prevalence 70 percent higher than those without. They were also more likely to have tried e-cigarettes and to be current users of e-cigarettes. The study concludes that “Smokers with mental health conditions are differentially affected by the rise in popularity of e-cigarettes,” which may affect clinical interventions and policies for tobacco control. E-Cigarettes have generated significant controversy because of emerging evidence that people who are not already smoking tobacco are trying e-cigarettes, as first-time tobacco users.Factors that contribute to youth smoking, such as advertising, flavorings, health claims, and ease of product use, add to the concern. Similarities are evident between advertisements for the e-cigarettes of today and the cigarette ads from the 1950s. For example, both sets of ads use celebrities to appeal to their target audiences. The sale of e-cigarettes remains unregulated and distribution is driving demand. In April 2014 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed a new rule that would qualify e-cigarettes to fit the statutory definition of a tobacco product, and therefore be subject to FDA regulation. In the meantime, e-cigarette use is on the rise – especially among youth. “Nicotine is an incredibly addicting drug,” said Susan Marsiglia Gray, M.P.H., National Synar Program Coordinator in SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. “We see that most people using e-cigarettes are ‘dual users,’ meaning they are using traditional tobacco products and e-cigarettes, possibly exposing them to even greater levels of nicotine. And with youth, the appeal of fruit and candy flavoring is luring some to get their first taste of nicotine through e-cigarettes.” SAMHSA will continue to work with other federal agencies to reduce use of tobacco and nicotine products, especially among youth and people with mental and substance use disorders.

E-Cigarette Facts and Data E-Cigarette use more than doubled among U.S. middle and high school students, from 4.7 percent in 2011 to 10 percent in 2012.

More than 75 percent of youth users of e-cigarettes smoke traditional cigarettes as well. 1 in 5 middle school students who reported ever using e-cigarettes say they have never tried traditional cigarettes.

Source: Center for Disease Control, National Youth Tobacco Survey, 2013

79 percent of adult smokers who are nicotine dependent report that they started smoking before they were 18 years old.

A Judge Holiday Tradition: Gift of the Drummer 2015 Quick Reminder: Contributions can be brought in to school any time from

Wednesday, December 2 through Wednesday, December 9, 2015. Loving God, We pray that your love prevail in our hearts, so that we may fully prepare for you this Christmas. May be see the ways we can love one another in great ways, especially the children in the Gift of the Drummer program. May we know just how much we have, so that we can fully give to one another. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen. Judge Memorial Catholic High School will again participate in the annual "Gift of the Drummer" project. Gift of the Drummer is a program that allows the students, faculty and staff of Judge Memorial to play a larger role among families who are in need to provide a joyful Christmas for their children. The families we serve are referred to us by Catholic Community Services. Similar to last year, Judge is sponsoring 70

children this season. We specifically will be providing for refugee children---some within their families, some who are orphaned. The Gift of the Drummer project at Judge Memorial is annually coordinated and organized by Campus Ministry, led by the Peer Ministers. Judge Memorial has participated in a Christmas project for as long as anyone can remember. The best we can guess, thanks to long-time faculty and staff, is that we’ve done something in a formal sense around the Christmas Holidays since at least the 1970s.

Kickoff for this year’s community outreach is on Wednesday, December 2. On that day, our, Gift of the Drummer "helpers" will visit advisories to introduce the project and the assigned child(ren) for the class. Each advisory teacher organizes their Gift of the Drummer process differently, so parents are asked to please check with their student(s) for more info. Students may bring in their contributions any time through Wednesday, December 9. The reason these families sign up for this program is to receive new clothing items for their children. It is appropriate to include toys for the children and household items for the family, but we are asked to focus on the families’ needs for new clothing and winter items. All gifts need to be UNWRAPPED so CCS staff can ensure that sizes are correct before delivering them to the families. It would be appropriate to include gift receipts to facilitate easy exchanges. As shoes are difficult to size appropriately, gift cards for shoes are a great idea. Any gifts brought to the main office should be labeled with the student's advisory teacher name so that it may be delivered to the correct family. Alumni of Judge Memorial and St. Mary of the Wasatch are invited join the current Judge students by participating in their own community and making a difference where they live. "Our students get very involved in this project, and take it very seriously,” said Bobbi Morgan, Director of Counseling and Student Services. “It's a big part of the holiday community spirit here at Judge, and a big part of the lessons of compassion and giving we teach." Campus Ministry thanks all members of the Judge Memorial community for taking this special opportunity to give families of our Greater Salt Lake community a wonderful Christmas.

Judge announces 2015 festive season observances Judge Memorial Catholic High School observes the festive season – running from November through the New Year – in a variety of traditional and non-traditional ways. With most projects coordinated by our students with assistance from faculty advisors, students invite alumni, families, parents, and friends to participate in any or all events as we prepare as a community for the coming of the Lord Jesus this Christmas.

Daily Announcements Each day's announcements begin with topical prayers and reflections to mark a particular holiday or season, including Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Advent. These are selected by students in Peer Ministry and Student Council in consultation with advisors for those student groups. All Souls Day and remembrance of deceased loved ones It is the custom of the Catholic Church to remember our deceased loved ones during the month of November. A Book of Remembrance was available in the Chapel in which members of the Judge community could write the names of deceased loved ones. Fr. Dominic offered daily Masses throughout the month on their behalf. Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive Judge Memorial faculty, staff, and students held their annual Thanksgiving Food Drive from Monday, Nov 16 through Friday, Nov 20. This community outreach, coordinated by our Peer Ministers, will benefit the Utah Food Bank and focuses on those items that the food bank indicate as their greatest current needs. National Vocation Awareness Week The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops observed the week of Nov 1-7 National Vocation Awareness Week, in which Catholics remember the importance of answering God’s call in their lives. Prayers throughout the week were offered for an increase in both religious and non-religious vocations. November Blood Drive The Student Council held the annual November blood drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross on Monday, November 9 and Tuesday November 10 on campus. Students 16 and older were eligible to donate, and parents, faculty, staff and friends are also invited. Alumni were asked to participate in their own communities and to make a difference where they live. Veterans Day Observance Continuing a Judge Memorial tradition started several years ago, Judge Memorial students, faculty, and staff had an opportunity to participate in a school-wide assembly honoring our veterans, soldiers, and families. Following the assembly, as a school community, letters of gratitude and appreciation were written to our veterans, letters that will be delivered to the local Veterans Medical Center. While our students cannot serve their country in the same manner as our veterans and soldiers, they were proud to honor their sacrifice by recognizing the servicemen and women here in our own community. Christ the King Feast Day Judge Memorial observed the “Christ the King” Feast Day with an All School Liturgy in mid-November

celebrated by Fr. Dominic Briese, OP. Judge Memorial was placed under the patronage of “Christ the King” in 1931 by Bishop John Mitty. The center-point of the Judge Memorial school seal is the shield, or Coast-of-Arms. The left side of the shield illustrated the orb and scepter of a king, the symbols of power bestowed on a ruler. The word basileus comes from the Greek word meaning “King.” On the right side of the shield, we find the liturgical symbol, the Greek Chi (X) and Rho (P), the symbol for Christ. Thus, the shield bears the motto: “Christ the King.”

Diocesan Advent Retreat Members of the Diocese of Salt Lake City have been invited to attend the Diocesan Advent Retreat. The Annual Diocesan Advent Retreat is scheduled for Saturday, December 5 at St. John the Baptist Parish in Draper. The focus of this year’s retreat, which will offer sessions in both English and Spanish, is on the upcoming year of mercy. Gift of the Drummer The best collective guess of long-time faculty members is that Judge Memorial has participated in a formal sense with giving programs around the Christmas Holidays since at least the late 1970s. The families Judge will serve this year are referred by Catholic Community Services. Those families who qualify register a list of sizes and specific clothing needs for their children at CCS, and Judge students, faculty and staff participate together in this annual holiday project. Alumni are asked to participate in their own communities and to make a difference where they live. This project runs this year from December 2 through December 9. Annual Winter Dance Concert The Judge Memorial annual Winter Dance Concert will be held on Wednesday, December 9, Thursday, December 10, and Saturday, December 12, at 7 p.m. in the Dance Studio. Please join us for a great show in an intimate setting. Come spend an enjoyable early holiday evening supporting our talented dancers as they put on a show especially for you.

Annual Winter Music Concert The Judge Memorial annual Winter Music Concert will be held on Monday, December 14, at 7 p.m. in the Judge Auditorium. The performing groups are Concert Choir, Jazz Band, Concert Band, and Orchestra. This is a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit and enjoy the inspiring music of our talented Judge students.

Reconciliation Service Pray with us as our students encounter the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Friday, December 11, when various priests of our Diocese will be available to meet with students during their scheduled Theology class. Each class will gather during their theology class in Our Lady of Lourdes Church for quiet reflection, prayer, and the sacrament.

Annual Christmas Assembly Before breaking for the holidays, Judge Memorial will hold their annual Christmas Assembly in the school’s Auditorium on Friday, December 18. This Assembly is organized, planned, and produced by members of Student Council and the Tech Crew.

COLLEGE COUNSELING NEWS Judge Memorial Catholic High School College Counselors "Finding the Right Fit" is our philosophy when advising and guiding our students through the college selection and application process.

Christy Koles, Certified College Counselor, [email protected], 801-517-2140

Jeanette Sawaya, Certified College Counselor, [email protected], 801-517-2175 Ms. Koles and Ms. Sawaya will be offering parent presentations to parents/students of freshman, sophomore and junior classes in February/March, so keep an eye out for the dates that will be announced in Ms. Koles Tuesday Tips from College Counseling. If you are not receiving these tips, check your students’ Family Connection accounts and make sure your email is noted under About Me tab then click on profile and add parent. If you are a freshman student/parent, you may not have an account yet, but will in the near future. Ms. Koles will email you when the student’s account has been activated.

Please update your students family connection account with any new emails in order to

receive the Tuesday Tips from College Counseling from Ms. Koles!

ACT TEST PREP: Go to Family Connection account and click on PREPME! www.actstudent.org

SAT TEST PREP: Go to www.khanacademy.org and www.collegeboard.com

JUNIORS: We recommend that JUNIORS take the ACT and/or SAT Reasoning test and SAT subject tests (if required), in the spring of their junior year (March through June) because they are curriculum-based tests. These tests should be retaken later to improve the scores. We advise you take both the ACT and the SAT and compare the scores to determine which test will produce the highest score. Statistically, the greatest increase in the scores occurs between the first and second time the tests are taken. Colleges will accept scores from either the ACT and/or the SAT. Taking the exams initially in the early spring of junior year allows the student to retake their stronger exam in the late spring/early summer and the fall of senior year before many college application deadlines. When considering colleges and their requirements, check to see if they require SAT Subject tests. You can check the list of colleges requiring them on www.collegeboard.com. (June will be the last offered tests until September). Most Colleges will consider the highest test score of all the tests as they process the applications. Juniors will receive their PSAT score results in January through their math classes. The PSAT score report, along with the PLAN results that students received sophomore year, are useful tools for assessing potential strengths and weaknesses on the SAT and ACT. Any questions about the PSAT test should be addressed through Mr. Jerry Burchett in the School Counseling Center([email protected]).

SOPHOMORES: If a sophomore student is currently taking an AP class, they should plan on taking the SAT II subject test in their AP course this spring in that subject. Taking the subject test immediately after taking the AP course will generate the highest score, as the information is current and fresh. Plan on taking the May or June Subject test as well.

College Counseling … continued …

WHAT SENIORS SHOULD BE DOING NOW 1. Transcripts: order from Mrs. Scholl in the Counseling Center ($5 each). They are sent directly from the

Counseling Center, either mailed by Mrs. Scholl or sent electronically. Before any letters of recommendations can be submitted, transcripts MUST be ordered first!

2. Test scores: all out of state colleges require test scores to be sent directly from the testing agencies (www.collegeboard.com and www.actstudent.org). If all of your scores are high, send them all; otherwise, choose your highest score to send. If a college “superscores,” then send each test that will together offer the highest composite scores.

3. Counselor recommendation (college counselors write these): Only some schools require them, but if your colleges do, students need to fill out the Senior Brag Sheet on Family Connection, then email Ms. Koles or Ms. Sawaya to let them know the survey is complete at least ONE MONTH before their first application deadline. REMEMBER, CHRISTMAS VACATION DAYS DO NOT COUNT in that “MONTH” when requesting letters. That is, if a deadline is January 1, a student must have requested a letter from counselor/teacher no later than November 15 as the two weeks of Christmas vacation are not counted!

4. Teacher recommendation (only some schools require them): Students should ask their teachers face-to- Face before adding them to teachers writing recommendations in Family Connection. If a college prefers Recommendations via mail (very few!), please give your teachers pre-addressed stamped envelopes addressed to the Office of Admissions for that particular college. If a student is applying to eight colleges, they should give the teacher eight envelopes. PLEASE THANK YOUR TEACHERS! A little thank you goes a very long way. 5. Financial Aid/Scholarships: students will need to check the colleges' websites to find out which financial

aid forms they require and whether students need to apply with a separate application for various scholarships or if they are automatically considered for merit scholarships when they apply for admission. Please check each college website to see which financial aid forms they require. ALL colleges require the FAFSA (Free Application for Financial Aid) and some (highly selective) require the PROFILE. The FAFSA is not available to fill out until after January 1. File your taxes as soon as you can, then file the FAFSA.

6. Institutional Merit Scholarships: Seniors should be checking websites of their colleges/universities for institutional merit scholarships. There is also a list of private scholarship deadlines coming up in the next few months on the Family Connection website. Also, www.bigfutures.collegeboard.org has really great college scholarship tools.

Financial Aid The www.admissionsadvice.com blog that we’ve referred parents to before have some helpful suggestions about what to do now to begin the financial aid application process. 1. The 2016-2017 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will be available online January 1

at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Though the form cannot be completed until after January 1, parents and students can register now for a PIN number to facilitate the signature page required for the online form. Both students and parents must apply for a PIN number, as the signature page requires both the student and parent’s signatures. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Utilize the net price calculator on the FAFSA web site to forecast your EFC (Estimated Family Contribution) in order to get an idea of how much a college might cost. Every college has their own net price calculator on their site under financial aid. Check out each one!

2. Students should also check whether the schools they are applying to require the CSS Profile (you can register for it at www.collegeboard.com) or their own financial aid supplement in addition to the FAFSA. These forms can often be filled out before January 1.

3. Finally, be sure to check the colleges to which you are applying for financial aid and scholarship deadlines as sometimes those deadlines fall before the latest admission deadlines. You can find out about scholarships offered by the colleges or universities on their web sites. Many schools automatically consider applicants for merit scholarships and others have separate applications that must be turned in.

Time To Prepare For Financial Aid Applications For most high school seniors, December is often "push month" for finishing up college applications. In the rush to meet application deadlines, however, don't forget that financial aid deadlines will quickly follow. Here are five things you should be doing this month if you will need financial aid to attend college: 1. Make certain your college list includes at least one financial safety. A "financial safety" is a college that you

would both be happy to attend and that your family is almost certainly going to be able to afford, either because of its overall cost or because the college's financial aid policies are likely to work in your family's favor.

2. Plan ahead. Each year, we hear from students and parents who have missed important financial aid

deadlines because they didn't look at what was required until it was too late. Don't let this be you! If you haven't already done so, take a few minutes this month to put together a list showing the financial aid deadlines and application paperwork required for each college on your list.

3. If your parents are divorced or separated, let each parent know what to expect. Divorce and separation can

add an extra layer of complexity to the financial aid process. If your parents are divorced or separated (or you're a parent who is divorced or separated), make sure you understand how divorce and separation can affect financial aid and have a clear understanding of the policies of each of the colleges on your list (google FAFSA divorced parents for resources) If your non-custodial parent needs to submit financial information to a college on your list, now is the time to let them know, not the day before the college's financial aid deadline.

4. Get your FAFSA PIN now. Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov Although you can't submit your FAFSA (the application

required by most colleges) until after January 1, you can apply for FAFSA Personal Identification Numbers now on the FAFSA PIN website. You'll need a PIN for both the student and a parent. The PINS are used to both sign back into the FAFSA and to complete the submission of the FAFSA by both the student and parent signing with their PINS.

5. Get organized. The process of applying for financial aid will go

smoother if you have all of the information you'll need on hand. Here's a list of most of the information you'll need for the FAFSA and the CSS Profile. And, check with each college on your list as well, since some colleges ask for additional information. Use of the TRANSFER feature on the FAFSA will automatically transfer your income tax information into the FAFSA, so, please try to file your income taxes first! Your social security number Your driver's license (if you have one) The student's 2015 tax return OR 2015 W-2 Forms and other records of other money earned by

the student in 2015. The parent's 2015 tax returns OR 2015 W-2 Forms and other records of other money earned by

parents in 2015. (Note: For the FAFSA, financial information for the custodial parent and stepparent is required; for the CSS Profile, financial information from the non-custodial parent is often required as well).

2015 untaxed income records for parent(s) and student, if applicable, including veterans benefits, child support, and worker's compensation.

Current bank statements Current business and investment mortgage information, business and farm records, stock, bond

and other investment records, if applicable Your alien registration or permanent resident card (if you are not a U.S. citizen)

JANUARY/FEBRUARY/MARCH PRIVATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Judge’s high school code (CEEB #) is 450-375.

MIDYEAR REPORTS

Some colleges and universities rely on the first semester grades of senior year for their admission decisions, and they get those grades through a “Midyear Report” form that they provide with their applications. This year we will be doing Midyear Reports for the Common App electronically through Family Connection. For any colleges that are not on the Common Application but requiring electronic submissions, students should fill out the “applicant” portion of the form and then bring it in to Ms. Scholl in the Counseling Center. As Registrar, she keeps the forms on file and sends them with the first semester transcript after grades become available. All those forms and transcripts go out at once, generally by February 15. We will automatically send the mid-year reports for those colleges on the common application so the student does not need to do anything for those colleges on the common app!

Most SENIORS should have taken the ACT or SAT Reasoning test by January, but if not, there’s one more chance in February, as long as the schools to which they are applying have deadlines in late February or early March. If any seniors have questions about testing, they should see Ms. Koles or Ms. Sawaya as soon as possible.

NCAA INITIAL-ELIGIBILITY: PLAYING SPORTS IN COLLEGE

Any seniors who think they might play intercollegiate sports at a Division I or II College or university and who has not yet done so, should register with the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse as soon as possible. To do this seniors should (1) fill out the form online at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net and pay the registration fee, (2) request an official transcript to be sent to NCAA, and (3) order a test score report to be sent to the Clearinghouse directly from the testing agency (ACT or College Board). See Mr. Del Porto in the School Counseling Center for more information ([email protected]).

SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS

This is the season for scholarship scam companies to prey on the anxieties of parents and students about the financial aid process. Financial aid should not cost more than a postage stamp, and any company that tells you differently, no matter how official their name might sound, is misleading you. Two scam companies in particular to watch for are the Educational Assistance Council and The College Partnership.

There will be failures, disappointments and losses, but there will also be joys, successes and delights. Best of luck to you.” The Fall 2015 induction was coordinated by the 2015-2016 officers: Tyler Rollman, President; and officers Matt Benvegnu, Jacob Loose, Alexis Maggelet, Maria Stokes, Caroline Yanelli, and Youn Yu.

Judge Performing Arts Presents: Grease!

The sensational Judge Memorial Performing Arts Department will present the winter musical production in January. This year Judge Performing Arts presents Grease! Grease is a 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey with additional songs written by John Farrar. Named for the 1950s United States working-class youth subculture known as greasers, the musical is set in 1959 at fictional Rydell High School. Grease was first performed in Chicago in 1971. At the time that it closed in 1980, Grease's 3,388-performance run was the longest yet in Broadway history, although it was surpassed by A Chorus Line a few years later. It went on to become a West End hit, a hugely successful film, two popular Broadway revivals in 1994 and 2007, and a staple of regional theatre, summer stock, community theatre, and high school and middle school drama groups. It remains Broadway's 15th longest-running show. All are invited to join us for a run of wildly entertaining productions featuring the artistic talents of our students. Break a leg, Bulldogs! Curtain Up! 7P on Friday, January 29 7P on Saturday, January 30 2P Matinee on Sunday, January 31 7P on Friday, February 5 7P on Saturday, February 6 Principals: Ethan Archibald, Deonno Avila, Averi Bailey, Jake Barnett, Mark Brunetti, Emily DeCarolis, Alex Junkins, Ethan Kelso, Juan Mucino, Adrian Ortiz, Niki Rahimi, Duy Ramirez, Janell Schroeder, Mira Thompson, Annie Trentman, Catherine Valeo, Sarah Weyrich, Robin Young Ensemble: Sophie Barajas, Abby Berceau, Ellie Cook, Michael Davies, Isaac Eaton, Ramiro Fernandez, Emma Flood, Hannah Gabel, Isabella Ingham, Mae Jan, Kathleen Jensen, Sean Lambourne, Robert Lopez, Alec Malouf, Abigail Mancini, Amanda Maxfield, Nick McCullagh, Jessica Mulder, Whitlee Neeley, Lindsey Pelly, Abby Powell, Boston Ravarino, Chloe Schafer, Zach Schafer, Allyson Schmidt, Katelynn Smith, Maddie Smith, Miriam Smith, Alex Soran, Lexi Thomsen, Nick Weaver, Gilli Williford Tech Crew: Stage Managers: Dominique Byrd, Josh Davies Lights: Ryan Bott, Jake Noorda Sound: Audrey Matthews Crew: Anthony Alcocer, Jesus Balcazar, Adrienna Chacon, Ravi Ghuman, Jackson Liston, Raine Padawar, Sophie Robertson, Jonathan Stebner, Derek Wilsak

availability

detailed copy of the itinerary

students do not need to be enrolled in Latin to participate

First of all, I wish to express a heartfelt thanks to all you parents that have already signed up your son or daughter for this extraordinary trip! And to those of you still wanting your son or daughter to go on the “Greece and Italy ‘16” trip with us, yes!, there are still spots available, but they are going fast. For more information regarding the trip, meeting times, availability, or if you would like a detailed copy of the itinerary, email Mr. Soran at [email protected].

Greece and Italy! Two Countries, Thousands of Miles, Countless Priceless Memories! Mr. Tim Soran is gearing up for yet another trip, a 15-day exploration of Italy and Greece! Join us for next year’s spring break’s Judge Memorial International Trip that features a sensational itinerary.

Students and chaperones will fly through the night from Salt Lake City to Rome. The visit in the Eternal City includes such highlights as a walking tour from the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain (be sure to bring your three coins!); explorations of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palantine Hill, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basiilica, Piazza Navona (a chaperone favorite!), and the Pantheon (stop by the shop outside the steps for the best gelato!). We will enjoy an excursion to Florence with a local guide to visit the Accademia and the breathtaking work of Michelangelo, the inspiring Duomo, and the gorgeous church of Santa Croce. Next up is a scenic drive on the Amalfi Coast where our destination will be Sorrento … lemons, fruit trees, and the most delightful small town. No Tim-Soran-led Italy trip would be complete without a visit to Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Mt. Vesuvius (yes! That is Mt. Vesuvius in the back of that photo), including a hike to the rim of the center of the crater (be sure your cameras are fully charged!).

Then, it’s off to Greece with our first stop in Athens! Highlights of our visit to the second country on the tour include a local guide leading us to the Acropolis and the unbelievable Acropolis Museum and the Parthenon. We will also enjoy an authentic Greek Dinner and Folklore Show (hello feta cheese and dancing!). Specific details are still pending, but we all know that any trip to Greece is stunning, amazing, and memorable. If our past trips are any indication, all will arrive home eager to share discoveries and experiences with family and friends. A trip of a lifetime? Sounds like one to us! Don’t miss it!

The World Languages Department promotes and develops the acquisition of a second language as a vital part of the education of all students. Students gain a respect for the intrinsic value of other cultures and understand the similarities and differences of various cultures. Students gain skills in reading, writing, critical thinking and oral proficiency. All World Languages courses offer students rigorous training in both linguistic skills and cultural knowledge so that the ability to communicate goes hand-in-hand with an appreciation of the human condition of the native speakers of these languages.

Good Sportsmanship is learned, practiced and

executed. Respect for the opponent, spectators, coaches and officials is a must at all levels of athletics and activity programs. The Utah High School Activities Association urges you to Raise-the-Bar by displaying good sportsmanship at all high school activities. Attendance at a high school sporting event is the best way to teach the meaning of

sportsmanship. “Do Rowdy Right,” set a good example by cheering FOR your team

and NOT against your opponent. Your actions should demonstrate respect for the game and your opponent.

As feasible, Judge Memorial Catholic High School provides official transportation to and/or from practices, competitions, activities, etc. If official transportation is provided, students involved/participating are required to travel in this method. In the instances where official transportation is not provided, students and their families must arrange for transportation on their own. The school, its administrators, coaches and/or moderators cannot coordinate, consult nor provide any input on personal transportation arrangements. With the coach’s/moderator’s approval, a student may travel with his/her parents if there is advance consent provided, in writing, prior to the trip. In the event a parent wishes to transport his/her student, arrangements in advance must be made with the Judge Memorial Main Office which will in turn notify the coach or moderator. No student is ever to be released to anyone other than the parent of record, and only then after that parent has made the request through the Main Office and verification is made by the Main Office. Coaches or moderators cannot release a student through phone contact with the parent from an event nor release a student to another student for transportation.

Checking Out Early Parents, if your student will be checking out early, that is any time before the afternoon dismissal bell, the student does need to bring to the main office before 8A that same morning a signed parent note stating the time and reason for the check out (doctor, dentist, appointment, etc.). Thank you for your cooperation. Medical Treatment and Medication Faculty and staff are not to administer medication, prescription or non-prescription, of any kind to a student (Administrative Handbook of the Catholic Schools - Policy 5120). If medication must be taken during the school day, the parent and doctor must complete and submit a consent form. Without a completed and signed form on file along with the doctors’ consent, medication of any kind will not be administered to the student. Emails, faxes, or parent/guardian phone calls cannot take the place of the form. The medication and consent form will be kept in the Main Office with Ms. Rita Scholl, and the student will be responsible for obtaining and taking the medication at that location at the appropriate time of the day. No student shall carry or store any non-prescription or prescription medication at any time, with the exception of prescription inhalers and EpiPens. Reminders on Supervision While the school is often open for activities before and after school, Judge Memorial does not assume responsibility for the safety of students who are in the building or on the property outside of school hours and official school activities. While the school does its best to provide supervision of students during school hours, it relies on each student to assume responsibility for following school procedures and notifying administrators when any dangerous situation arises. All students must vacate the building by 3:15 p.m. unless participating in a school-approved activity or sport. Uniform Standards for the cooler, winter months Just a few reminders about uniform standards now that we have moved in to the cooler, winter months:

Students are asked to consider dressing according to weather conditions: pants instead of shorts for uniform bottoms; the official Judge vest, cardigan sweater, or v-neck sweater on top if extra warmth is needed.

A uniform shirt must be worn under the uniform sweater/vest at all times and must be clearly visible; no other jackets, sweatshirts, or coverings may be worn during school hours.

Official Judge sweatshirts and hoodies are permitted on Fridays only throughout the school year unless otherwise announced as a special dress opportunity.

Student-Parent Handbook Students received their 2015-2016 calendar and weekly planner and student/parent handbook on the first morning of school. These planners contain the parent/ student handbook and calendar for the year.

The current school year Student-Parent Handbook, including the Code of Conduct, is available to students, parents, and guardians by the following methods:

1. Each student is provided a Student Parent Handbook and Planner on the first day of school. Within the planner is the complete Student-Parent Handbook.

2. The handbook may be viewed and downloaded from the Judge Memorial website:

www.judgememorial.com, click on Parents, look on the right for the Student Parent Handbook

3. Now that all enrolled students have received their handbook, copies of the handbook are available for purchase by parents in the Spirit Shop for a nominal cost.

Our advice to our students is "get involved." We recommend that to our students, and we recommend that to our parents as well. Getting involved is one of the quickest ways to take advantage of the rich tradition and community here at Judge.

Countless research has shown that regardless of parents' educational background or income level, their involvement in education helps their kids do better in and out of school. Parent involvement can be as simple as helping with math homework or discussing current events while in the car. Going to parent-teacher conferences is important, but taking the family to a pre-game BBQ at homecoming makes a difference as well. Find what works best for you and your family and get involved! Here are some tips for parents on getting involved and getting the most out of their Judge experience:

Get to know your student's teachers and counselor. Back to School Night and Parent/Teacher Conferences are two easy ways to do just that.

Attend Open Houses, School Programs, Parent Education Nights, and school functions. This includes activities and athletics - dance, drama, service, and sports.

Become an active member of the PUPS. Volunteer; Serve as a class coordinator; Run for office. Just get active!

Be supportive of the school, school projects, school fundraisers, and school initiatives.

Encourage your child to complete all homework and extra credit opportunities. Learn more about what's going on academically by reviewing classroom assignments both online and with your student.

Use the Judge website and weekly emails to stay connected to what's happening at your school. Don't forget to read the weekly announcements under the ABOUT US header on the website.

Read the Bulldog Bulletin (parent e-newsletter) and Connections (alumni and friends magazine) to stay up to date and news, notes, information, and achievements.

Pick up a copy of the current year student handbook and planner for yourself. It is a great, easy way to stop on top of all the events and activities scheduled at Judge.

Volunteer!

All parents/guardians with students enrolled at Judge Memorial are automatically members of PUPS. Each Judge Memorial family can choose 15 hours of service for the school each year or donate $150 in lieu of service. PUPS prefers that you donate your time and expertise in an area or areas of your choosing. Parents are asked to track and report service hours for PUPS using the online volunteer tracker on Skyward.

Listed below are currently announced volunteer opportunities for parents, along with the appropriate contact information. There are many ways to volunteer at Judge Memorial. You can serve as a class rep; lend a hand at the auction; assist with athletic events, arts performances; or assist with other academic endeavors. Thank you for your assistance, Bulldogs!

All application packets must be complete in order to be reviewed for admission.

Completed Applications are due Monday, February 1, 2016. As class size for the incoming ninth grade class is limited, please plan on submitting the completed application packet early.

All complete applications received by February 1 will be processed at the same time. Applications received after that date will be reviewed on a case-by-case, space-available basis.

Placement Exam results are available at the March 2, 2016, Incoming Frosh Registration Night.

The Placement Exam is not your student’s acceptance into Judge Memorial, but it is a step in the process. In order for your student to be considered for admission to Judge Memorial, the application packet must be completed and turned in for review.

Acceptance Letters Frosh acceptance letters for the 2016 Fall Semester will be mailed to parents/guardians prior to March 1. Complete information pertaining to the Wednesday, March 2, 2016, Incoming Frosh Registration Night, along with financial information, will be provided in the acceptance letter. Please read the letter carefully and thoroughly.

Accuplacer Mathematics Assessment Test All incoming ninth grade students will sit for the comprehensive incoming Placement Exam in January, and the Accuplacer test in March. Incoming students of all grade levels have five opportunities to take the Accuplacer Mathematics test. As there is limited seating on each of these five testing dates (all in March), students will be pre-assigned a test date prior to the March registration date. Students accepted for admission will be notified of their assigned date in the acceptance letter.

Questions Please contact Mrs. Suzanne Rainwater, Director of Admissions, with questions on admissions (801-517-2129), [email protected]). Please contact Ms. Rita Scholl in our Admissions Office with questions on the placement exam or application submissions (801-517-2157, [email protected]).

Catholic Social Teaching: for the poor and vulnerable a January 2014 article from the Utah Catholic Schools Offices

“Catholic teaching proclaims that a basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring.” (USCCB) Our society is characterized by a deepening chasm between the growing prosperity of some and the increased poverty of others. As the Church, we are asked to follow the example of Jesus who identified with the poor and the vulnerable (Mt.25:31-46). With this Gospel mandate our Church and the Catholic schools seek to give priority concern to the poor. The health of the Church and society is strengthened by the way we relate to the needs of the poor and vulnerable. Christopher notes state, “…only when concerned men and women in all walks of life get involved will we create the just, merciful nation and world that God wants for us.”

The burden of poverty is unjust and is a result of the misdistribution of wealth and resources. The Church teaches the need to distribute goods equitably according to the demands of the common good and ensure social justice with a preferential option for the poor. Power, wealth and prestige have become a goal of the modern world. The Church directs us to witness the Gospel through conversion of our way of life. We seek to integrate personal and societal transformation. Catholic Charities USA called poverty “an unnecessary evil and unnatural disaster. Given the nation’s enormous wealth, such degradation is a wound in America’s soul.” Persons who have attained wealth are not to be condemned but the way they use their wealth can be just or unjust.

One of the elements of the Catholic school religion curriculum is social justice. Service becomes a component of this thrust. Charity or direct service is taught and practiced through various projects so that students give of what they have to those less fortunate. You are aware of the way your child participates in school service projects. Often a school is featured in the Intermountain Catholic Newspaper for their charity efforts. Spotlighting the service projects of the schools, we see the tremendous work being done and the lifetime lessons being learned. Some of the programs and activities that the Catholic Schools participate in are:

Collecting cans for St. Theresa Food Bank

Candy Cane Corner for Road Home

Raising funds for the Agape Children's orphanage and choir in South Africa

Keep a Child Alive Foundation

Invisible Children Campaign- helps build schools in Uganda

Adopting a family for Christmas

Donating to Heifer International

Souper Bowl of Caring for Catholic Community Services and other agencies of need

Numerous other activities in the community and abroad.

These projects are but a few which reflect all that is being done annually by the schools of the diocese.

“Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction”, said Pope Benedict XVI.

Indirectly, our students learn to be aware of the poor through study, reflection, and prayer. Celebrations of the contributions of various people, rich and poor are encouraged and bring about a social consciousness in our students. Often the direct and indirect exposure to the poor brings about the real meat of social justice, advocacy or efforts at systemic change. An example of charity and systemic change in the lives of our children is the Heifer Project. It is direct giving but due to the requirements of the program, the gift is far reaching and in most cases helps lift the recipient out of poverty.

Students are taught to be attentive to the most vulnerable which includes more than the materially poor. The elderly, sick, handicapped, and mentally ill are numbered among the vulnerable. Children visiting rest homes often bring cards or gifts but the most important reciprocal gift is that of the sharing and the gift of self. Respect for all people is taught so that the students learn their responsibility to be unselfish. We are social beings, part of the body of Christ, which makes us responsible for each member for the health of the whole body.

Our school system, itself, tries to live the Gospel mandate of “option for the poor”. In each local Catholic school there is a long tradition of inclusivity. We believe that education is a way out of poverty so we make every effort to provide an education to as many poor families as is possible. This policy creates a challenge for the school to fund the assistance that educating the poor demands. The value outweighs the sacrifice. Besides helping a child out of poverty, it also provides an atmosphere in which to mix the various economic and racial groups in a community. There is no better way to learn to live and work together than to rub elbows day after day.

What better way is there to learn tolerance than to grow up in a diverse community? What better way is there to learn who my neighbor is than to be involved in the kinds of activities in which our students participate?

JUDGE COUNSELING #TableTalks: Each week, the Judge Memorial School Counselors pose a question for parents and families designed to bring open conversation and dialogue for you and your family. The School Counselors call it the Judge Memorial Dinner Table Talks. Families are encouraged to participate openly, honestly, freely, with no judgement, at whatever level is most comfortable in your own home. In addition to being posted in the weekly parent email, you can find the question each weekend on our JudgePride twitter account with the hashtags #JudgeCounseling and #TableTalks. Questions asked to date include:

“What is the best part of high school? What do you like the least? “How can we as a family best live the Golden Rule ... do onto others ...” “What was your favorite Halloween costume growing up!” ”What could be done to alleviate the refugee crisis in Europe?” “This Thanksgiving – what are you most thankful for?”
