Dear South Carroll Families,
With this letter we are in the second week of our new semester. Your students should have
brought home paperwork from their new teachers outlining the expectations for their classes.
Please be sure to take the time to go over that with your students. We are planning on holding a
Spring Semester Back To School Night on Thursday, January 29th, weather permitting. This will
give our parents a chance to meet our teachers for the new classes. The sessions will follow the
schedule of the students starting at 6:00. We hope you are able to attend.
Second semester has also brought some new faces to South Carroll High School. Erin McCarthy
is a new Spanish teacher for SCHS. She spent the first semester at Liberty High School. Kim
Moyer is a new Agriculture Science teacher. She has taught for many years at Century High
School, but will be joining us for the rest of this school year. Chris Bruce is serving as a long-term
substitute in our Vocal Music program. I would like to welcome each of them to South Carroll
High School.
Our scheduling process for next school year is a little different than in years past. County-wide,
we are trying a new system in which the students’ course requests are automatically uploaded
from their Educational Career Plans (ECP). Each student has had the opportunity to meet with
our counseling office to develop this plan. The result of these meetings is posted on Home
Access Center. If you would like to discuss your student’s course selections for the upcoming
school year, please contact the counseling office to set up an appointment. We are hoping that
the students will use their ECP to plan ahead in reaching their goals for their senior year.
The students have expressed an interest in holding a Winter Formal on February 7th. We tried to
do this last year, but did not have enough student interest to hold the dance. The students and I
have agreed that if we can get 25% of our students involved in the dance, it will be a go. Tickets
will go on sale starting January 28 for the early bird discount. We must have our goal of 25% of
the student body met by Wednesday February 4th to continue with ticket sales. Please encourage
your students to purchase their tickets early if they would like to see this dance happen. Refunds
will be given if the dance does not meet the participation goal.
For seniors, this is the last semester of high school. Please stress to your students the
importance of finishing their senior year strongly. While many of them have already received their
acceptance letters from their colleges, all students will have to submit a final transcript at the end
of the school year. My hope is that they have a final transcript that will make them proud.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey P. Hopkins

CLASS OF 2015
All seniors will receive information from Balfour at a senior assembly on Tuesday, February 3, for ordering
graduation products. A Balfour Representative will be at school during lunch mods on Wednesday,
th
th
February 11 and Thursday, February 12 to take orders for graduation products such as announcements,
caps and gowns, and other memorabilia. While all other items offered by Balfour are optional, the cap and
gown are absolutely necessary. ALL STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN GRADUATION ARE REQUIRED
TO WEAR A CAP AND GOWN TO WALK ACROSS THE STAGE. If you do not receive this information
because you were absent or if you are a student who is scheduled to graduate with the Class of 2015 but
are on college release or a Career and Technology program where you do not report to South Carroll,
rd
please be sure to stop by the office after February 3 to pick up a packet of information between the hours
of 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
FINE ARTS SCHEDULING ANNOUNCEMENTS

Do you like taking pictures and want to take Honors Digital Design in Photography next year but
don’t have the prerequisites? Submit a portfolio of your best photography work instead! Pick up an
information form from the front office.

Are you interested in working with clay and want to learn how to do ceramics on the pottery wheel.
If you have taken and completed Art I by the end of this school year and get permission from your
art teacher, you can register to take Honors Ceramics next year. See your counselor to make a
change.

Some changes have taken place in the Fine Arts Department but we are still offering all of the
Dance and Chorus classes. There’s still time to make sure you get to do what you love. See your
counselor to make a change.

For students who are interested in everything digital, the Fine Arts Department has a new 1 credit
option. Register for a .5 credit of Electronic Music and a .5 credit of Art I together, and all of your
assignments will have a digital component. This combination will satisfy the Maryland graduation
requirement for Fine Arts or an Elective for interested students.
SERVICE LEARNING OPPORTUNITY NEEDS YOUR COUPONS!
Do you know a student who needs to earn service hours? Do you know someone currently serving in the
military? Help us help military families living on military bases while providing opportunities for our own
South Carroll students to earn service learning hours. Stores on military bases will honor manufacturer’s
coupons up to six months after they expire. The Key Club will be working with a representative from the
Daughters of the American Revolution to cut and mail coupons for this cause. We need uncut coupon
fliers from the Sunday paper each week. These can be placed in the box located in the Cav Lab or in
Mrs. Horn’s mailbox. Once there is enough, an afternoon coupon session will take place that is open to any
student who needs service hours. We want this to be an ongoing service project that continues throughout
the school year. The more coupons we receive, the more service hours available for the students. So send
in those coupons!
NOTES FROM THE NURSE
Does my child have Mono?
Mono (the kissing disease, mononucleosis, Epstein-Barr Virus) is caused by more than just kissing. It can
be spread through contact with the saliva of an infected person. The virus is shed in the saliva during the
illness and for many months after the infection has cleared up. The virus can reactivate later on and be
shed again in the saliva. Once you have mono you will not show symptoms again, but can share the virus
with others if it reactivates.
Symptoms can start 30-50 days after exposure. Teens and adults are more likely to have the classic
symptoms, while younger children often have cold like symptoms. Symptoms can last from one week to
several weeks.
SYMPTOMS:
Fever
Sore throat
Swollen glands
Tiredness
Mono is diagnosed by a blood test. No treatment is necessary other than plenty of rest. If there is spleen
involvement and your child plays sports, they will need to have a doctor’s note to restrict them from sports
until cleared.
The best way to prevent spreading mono is to not share drinks, tooth brushes or food with those who are
sick. And NO KISSING if you’re sick!
* Just a friendly reminder to make sure students stay home if they are sick. If they have a fever of at least
100, they will need to stay home until they are fever free without medication (ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc.) for 24
hours. The same applies to vomiting and diarrhea.
* If you are emailing the attendance email to report that your child is sick, please list what illness they have,
especially if the doctor has given a diagnosis. Illnesses are tracked and this will help with reporting more
accurate numbers.
* If a student needs crutches, please provide a note from the doctor stating how long they will be on
crutches and the nature of the injury. Students may not be on crutches without a doctor’s note.
* All medication must be kept in the health room and have a doctor’s order. Tylenol and Ibuprofen
(advil/motrin) are the only medications that do not need a doctor’s order. They still need a parent signature
on the CCPS med form and must be kept in the health room. If your student needs this medication at
school please find the form on the SCHS website under forms. The medication must be dropped off and
picked up by a parent/guardian. All medication must be in the original bottle, not expired, and have the
student’s name on it. Students may carry lip balm, non-medicated cough drops, saline eye drops,
sunscreen, and hand lotion without a note from a parent/doctor.
* All students must go through the health room to be checked before calling a parent to go home. If you
get a text or call from your child to pick them up because they are sick, instruct them to go to the nurse and
the nurse will call you.
*
Any questions or concerns can be directed to Catie LaRocca RN, BSN, School Nurse.

CAVALIER CHARACTER:
►Put a Stop to Bullying
Bullying is behavior that’s intentionally hurtful and often repetitive, and, unfortunately, it’s something
that most children have to deal with. It usually involves a child with greater physical or social power
dominating a child with less. Bullying can take several forms – physical (e.g., hitting, shoving),
verbal (e.g., name-calling, insults), and psychological (e.g., rumors, social exclusion).
How to Avoid Problems
*Encourage positive friendships and quality family time.
*Teach your teen to show confidence, avoid places where bullies hang out, and to do things in
groups.
*Tell your teen to report bullying to you.
How to Handle Problems
*Take complaints of being bullied seriously.
*If the bullying happened at school, contact the teacher, counselor, or school administration.
*If you suspect your teen is a bully, share your concerns with your child’s teacher, school counselor,
or principal. If you child needs additional help, consult a mental health professional. Talk with your
child as well. Set clear rules for bullying behavior, and enforce them.

*********************************************************
ACADEMIC PLANNING:
►It’s 11 p.m. Time to help with homework? (from First Draft – February 2015)
 It’s a common scenario: Your child has procrastinated on a homework assignment, and now he or
she is looking to you for help. What to do?
 First, maintain some boundaries. Remember that it’s not your project. You can help your child, but
it’s probably better if you merely assist in helping think the project through. Your child needs to
learn how to solve problems—and work under pressure.

If your child is in the habit of putting things off until the last minute all the time, however, don’t train
him or her to expect you to save the day. A poor grade may be just the lesson he or she needs to
learn that procrastination has consequences.

Our school is continuing the fundraising project with the help of an ink recycling company Empties4Cash.
Empty ink cartridges can be recycled and remanufactured. This will directly benefit our school and the
students not to mention it is great for the environment.
You can help! Any ink cartridge with a print head can be recycled, regardless of brand or type. Do you
have an HP, Epson, Lexmark, Xerox, Compaq, Brother, Dell, Canon, or Apple printer? Bring in your empty
OEM inkjet cartridges (placed in the original box that you would have thrown away to keep it safe from spills

NUTRITION TO GO
For many of us, especially
kids, time in front of the TV is
automatically snacking time.
In fact, research shows that
kids who cut their screen
time (including TV, video
games, and playing/surfing
on the computer) also cut
their body fat. Kids who cut
screen time snack less, so
they take in fewer calories
AND they’re more active, so
they burn more calories.

2015
The Chinese New Year
begins with the new moon on
th
February 19 .
2015 is the Year of the Goat,
Sheep, or Ram.
Item: Ramen Noodles
Verdit: Cheap for a Reason
Tip: Cheap and easy Ramen Noodles have long been a dietary mainstay of college students and other young folks
struggling with both budgets and cooking skills. Well, you get what you pay for: a brick of ultra-processed calories
and fat, treated with lots of salt so you think they’re actually tasty.
STAY ACTIVE ON SNOWY DAYS
Sled, ski, skate, snowboard, or just play in the snow! Stay safe by using the right equipment, dressing in layers, and using sunscreen, because
snow reflects the sun and you can get a sunburn in the winter, too. No snow? Bundle up for a hike in a new park
