SOARING EAGLE ADMINISTRATIVE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER June 2016 CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL VOLUME X, ISSUE 12 HOME OF THE EAGLES_____

PRINCIPAL’S MESSA GE “Remain In Jesus” I Love This Place Let’s bring the year to a close. It was a good year with hundreds, if not thousands, of successes. There were only three weaknesses.

1. Parent Participation to assist Central Catholic High School with TIME, TALENT, and TREASURE was less this year.

2. Too many students are developing an attitude of

entitlement and believe they are above the rules that are established to build community. This is societal. Society stresses more than before and young people need Catholic Christian Formation and Academic Excellence.

3. There is a need for more family attendance at church

services. At church services God’s Word is given and there is the celebration of Christ’s life, death and resurrection. This is very needed at this time in our culture.

To overcome these three short comings, Central Catholic High School each day prays the Prayer for Central Catholic High School to challenge all of our community to improve in these areas.

Transcripts The Central Catholic High School Guidance Department always complies with college request and follows State Department of Education regulations regarding transcripts and TOPS. College registers sometimes don’t follow the guidelines. DON’T PANIC WHEN A COLLEGE SENDS LETTERS REGARDING TRANSCRPITS. Central Catholic High School ALWAYS DOES IT CORRECTLY. THANKS YOU, Mrs. Karen Tycer, for being so efficient and handling transcripts with a since of urgency.

Central Catholic High School is worth the ride and it is worth the investment. LEARNING CENTER STUDENTS Admission to the program is based on a recent professional evaluation. Documentation must be dated within the last two years for new students and within the last three years for students presently attending Central Catholic High School. It is very important that juniors and seniors have an updated evaluation on file in the guidance office in order for them to receive accommodations on the ACT Test. No student will receive accommodations from the Learning Center for the 2015-2016 school year until an evaluation is on file in the guidance office.

Juniors and seniors will stay in class with their math teachers for all testing. Questions are better answered by the math teachers as the students advance to higher math classes. SAFE ENVIRONMENT TRAINING The following guidelines must be followed for Safe Environment Training. INITIAL TRAINING Paperwork must be picked up from the office or Bobby Miller.

• Lunch - $2.75 • Complete list enclosed Closing I cannot understate the importance of understanding and modeling Pope Frances’ Year of Mercy. It is all started with the beliefs that each of us is in the image of God. From this principle each of us than model our relationships to each other (Love your neighbor). It also prioritizes daily lives and action -- God, Family, Jobs or School, Extra Activities and Social Events. Finally, Pope Francis has declared 2016 the “Year of Mercy”. In the Bayou Catholic each month there are numerous articles concerning the meaning and practice of mercy. Below I list the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy. Focus on one and practice it for the month. CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY To feed the hungry To instruct the ignorant To give drink to the thirsty To counsel the doubtful To clothe the naked To admonish sinners To shelter the homeless To bear wrongs patiently To visit the sick To forgive offences willingly To visit the imprisoned To comfort the afflicted To bury the dead To pray for the living and the dead In Closing – Welcome to the 21st Century

Our Phones – Wireless Cooking – Fireless Cars – Keyless Food – Fatless Tires – Tubeless Youth – Jobless

Leaders – Shameless Relationships – Meaningless

Attitude – Careless Babies – Fatherless Feelings – Heartless Education – Valueless Children – Mannerless

Everything is becoming LESS but still our hopes are – Endless In fact I am – Speechless

God Bless you summer,
