THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER FOR PARENTS OF TEURLINGS CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS From Our Principal... W elcome to Teurlings Catholic. Although we have not met with our student body, we embark on another academic school year with tremendous excitement. Once again our student population has exceeded expectations. For the third consecutive year our freshmen class is the largest in school history. Our sophomore class is the largest ever and is excited they are no longer freshmen. The junior class is the largest ever, and they are excited they have passed the halfway mark in their high school experience. Seniors are excited to be elevated to the position of leaders at Teurlings Catholic. We are excited we have seven new faculty members join our tremendous teaching staff. We are excited to have you as part of the TCH family. We are excited to enter into our fifth year with our Chancellor, Father Hampton Davis, at the helm of our spiritual journey. It is no coincidence the faculty and staff began their journey this year with a retreat. Father Hampton shared a quote credited to Pope Paul VI that gave direction to our group experience, “People don’t listen to teachers, they listen to witnesses! If they do listen to teachers it’s because they are witnesses!” We enthusiastically invite you to join us for daily morning prayer, weekly Friday morning rosaries led by students and parents, weekly liturgical celebrations, and Adoration on the first Friday of each month in the Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Chapel here on the TCH campus. Several important dates are on the calendar for the month of August. Monday, August 10th, will be orientation day for all freshmen and sophomores. Juniors and seniors will report for orientation on Tuesday, August 11th. The annual “Back to School Night” will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 18th. The Guidance Department has scheduled a High School seminar for freshmen parents of Monday, August 24th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Rebel Dome. They have also scheduled a College Seminar for senior parents on Tuesday, August 25th, at 6:00 p.m. in the Rebel Dome. One group Leaders of Distinction receiving tips about transitioning into high school, the other, tips Chancellor for transitioning to college. Rev. Hampton Davis, III Freshmen are excited to begin their high school experiences and leave behind their elementary and middle schools. Seniors are excited about the culmination of their high school careers and look forward to their commencement ceremony. Success is determined by what happens between the beginning and the end. With the tremendous effort of many in the Teurlings Catholic community, we are creating opportunities for positive memories for all of our students. Our Lady Queen of Peace Church Principal Michael Boyer (Ext. 104) Assistant Principal Bruce Baudier (Ext. 102) Academic Assistant Principal Marty Heintz (Ext. 103) Director of Development Aline Norwood (Ext. 105) Phone: 337-235-5711 Fax: 337-234-8057 Athletics: 337-234-7022 Cafeteria: 337-232-8861 www.tchs.net Director of Athletics Sonny Charpentier (Ext. 208) Director of Faith Formation Josette Surratt (Ext. 229) AUGUST, 2015 FOR YOUR INFORMATION... Rebel Rumble August 8th, 1:30 PM New Student Mass August 8th, 4:00 PM DISCIPLINE Bruce Baudier - Assistant Principal Please read the following reminders carefully in order to assist your student with a successful school year: ▪ Dropping off Students in the morning – Students are not allowed to be dropped off in the back baseball lot area nor in the front of the main office area. Also, please do not “cut” through the front student parking area to avoid the drop off line. ▪ 9th-10th Orientation August 10th 11th-12th Orientation August 11th First Full Day of School August 12th Back to School Night August 18th, 6:30 PM Lift-A-Thon/Rebel Fest/ Meet the Rebels August 21st ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Senior Day August 26th Senior Retreat August 30th-31st Newsletter The deadline for submitting articles for the SEPTEMBER issue of the Rebelation is August 24th . Email Tiffany Dugas Parks (tparks@tchs.net) with your articles and pictures. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Picking students up in the afternoon – I am aware that this aspect can move slowly at times. The line can only move as fast as the kids can get into the vehicles. The initial 5-10 minutes is very, very slow because the kids go to their lockers to exchange books, get lunch boxes, etc. Then, the inevitable time to catch up on the “day’s scoop” from their “BFF” occurs. Once the line begins to move, it generally is steady but slow. Since most kids have cell phones, a parent calling them and reminding them to “get moving” may help. Again, picking up in the back lot, front lot, and in front of the main office area is not permitted. Also using name cards helps move the line quicker. When in Doubt, Don’t – Should a question arise as to what can/can’t be worn, don’t wear it. Simply bring the article of clothing to Mr. Baudier and a determination can then be made. I.D.’s/Lanyards – All students will be required to wear their ID on campus at all times on a school-issued lanyard. Students will receive their ID cards and lanyards at orientation on August 10-11. Students who arrive on campus after that date without ID cards or the lanyard will be sent to the front office and must purchase a temporary “peel & stick” ID for $1.00 for that day only. A replacement ID and lanyard can be obtained in the front office for $5.00; a replacement lanyard alone can be purchased in the front office for $2.00. Absences - All student absences & tardies must be reported to the front office by 7:50 AM, in one of the following ways: email adugas@tchs.net; call 337-235-5711, ext. 100 (leave message); or fax from parent to 337-234-8057. Athletes/Extracurricular Activities – A student must be at school a minimum of three (3) classes or four (4) clock hours during the school day in order to participate in extracurricular activities, practice, or competition on that day. Messages – Only emergency messages will be delivered to students during break and/or after school. Students may use the phone in the front office during break, lunch, and before or after school. Cell Phones – Allowed in lockers or cars only. Students are not allowed to carry them in purses, book bags, or with them – NO EXCEPTIONS! Lunch – Parents may not drop off lunch to students during the school day. Lunches dropped off during school hours will be given to students at 2:30 PM. Lockdown Procedures – In the event that TCH must go on lockdown status, blinking strobe lights will be activated at various entry points to our campus. Strobes will indicate to those coming on to our campus that the school is in lockdown mode and no one is allowed to check in/out, visit, or otherwise come onto campus until the lockdown status is lifted. If you are off campus and, upon returning, see the blinking strobes, leave campus immediately and call every 15-30 minutes until contact with the school is made. It is crucial for everyone involved that no one attempt to come to campus while in lockdown. It can create a nightmare for first responders if there were an active event taking place on our campus. Boys & Girls: No extr eme hair styles or color s ar e allowed. Lines, br aids, Mohawks, ombre, and unnatural colors are not allowed. Girls: Only one stud type ear r ing per ear is allowed, no hoops or dangling ear r ings. Feathers are not allowed in the hair. Skirts and shorts must be no shorter than three inches from the top of the knee. Boys – Be clean shaven daily. Please remind even the youngest to shave, if needed, when whiskers are seen. Shaving is a periodic necessity. 2 AUGUST, 2015 ACADEMICS Marty Heintz - Assistant Principal For those of you who are TCHS veterans, you know I really enjoy writing these columns. However, I am going to deviate from my norm this month, because I ran across an article that said just what I wanted to say – and it was written by a Harvard college senior from Kansas City who at time was the president of the National Teen Council. The Huffington Post published Annie Schugart’s article on October 27, 2013. I hope you will read it with your TCHS student and remind them this is not me, as the administrator, but a fellow student speaking: LEAVING HIGH SCHOOL REGRET-FREE We have all heard it: these are supposedly the best four years of our life. But are these years we spend monstrously walking the halls of high school really the best years we will ever live? Or will we look back on these four years with a sense of regret? The best way to ensure we graduate high school regret-free is to step outside the bubble we live in and to step outside of the classrooms we are trapped in. Gaining a sense of the greater picture -- of how these years affect our future -- will ground us in the decisions we make during these four years. When we are receiving our diploma at graduation, what will we wish we had done differently? When we base our thinking on this imagery, suddenly our perspective will be a little more focused. But more than that, we will ensure that we can look back on the four years with a positive note. Of course, it is always difficult to obtain complete regret-free status just by, well, thinking about what we will regret in the future. Fortunately, here is a list of how to prevent some of the most common regrets: 1. Try out for your favorite sport (or the musical, or the band, or Student Council, etc.). So many people w ant to be an athletic superstar in high school, and the reality is that very few ever will be. But that does not mean you will never play on varsity. If you are even vaguely considering trying out for something, do it, even if you do not think you will make it. It is much better to try out for a team and not make than it is to constantly wonder in the future if you would have made it. And if you do not make it, keep trying out for other sports or activities (or try out for the team next year) until you find one that is meant to be. 2. Do not try out for the sport (or activity) the next year if you do not enjoy it. If you make the team and find out it is not all you thought it would be, do not keep playing in the future. Even if you are the star player on varsity. If it is not worth your time, if you are not being treated fairly, if it is causing more harm than good, or if you simply are tired of it, just finish up the season and do not try out again. If it is something you can fix by talking to a coach or taking a break, then by all means do that before quitting -- because you do not want to regret quitting, either. But ultimately do what is best for you, and you will not regret it in the future. 3. Listen to the cliché advice of joining clubs... but do not join too many. High school is all about absorbing every opportunity you have. Join clubs. Be involved. Be proud of the school you attend. Take a stand against injustice, learn new things, and meet new people. But do not go overboard. If you are in every single club your school offers -- or close to that -- you will never find what you are really passionate about. And you will not even have space to list all your clubs on the Common Application for college anyway. 4. Get to know every single person in your grade. Do not set limits on who you can be friends with, and do not judge people. I guarantee one of your biggest regrets could be going to a class reunion, speaking with someone, and thinking to yourself, "Who are they?" (even after they have introduced themselves). Sure, there are a ton of people in high school. But each person has a unique story and personality that is worth getting to know. It is impossible to know who you could end up being friends with, so do not take the risk of missing out on a great friendship. Get to know everyone. 5. Get to know your teachers. Teachers would not come to school unless they wanted to teach you and help you. So no matter how crazy or evil they may seem, get to know them. They will teach you more than you could ever expect. And if you think you will 3 never regret not getting to know your teachers, wait until you are a senior and cannot find a teacher to write you a good letter of recommendation for college. 6. Have fun, but do not have too much fun. Stay true to yourself. You w ill probably regret spending every Friday night at home alone (unless that is just your personality), so go out there and have some fun. But do not have too much fun; you will regret that MIP that is on your permanent record. You do not have to engage in illegal activities to have fun. And do not think you will regret your decision to not drink or partake in other illegal or immoral activities -because you will not. Society makes it seem like in order for high school to be high school, you have to drink or partake in similar activities. But you do not. Stay true to who you are and the ideals you live by. Do not change who you are just for the approval of others. 7. Sleep. If you w ant to be the high school superstar that has a perfect academic record, is the star of the varsity team, has the greatest social life, and is president of Student Council -- you are not going to get any sleep. And in return, you will probably not have much fun either. It is impossible to do everything and be perfect at everything and get sleep at the same time. Choose what is most important to you, and do not stress out about everything else. Keep your academics at the forefront of your priorities, but do not go overboard. Maintain a proper balance. If you are getting less than two hours of sleep -- or less than six for that matter -- you need to realize that you are going to regret being tired every day of your life more than you will regret getting a 95 instead of a 100 on a test. 8. Go to school events. Do not be afraid of asking someone to prom. Do not miss out on Friday night football games. Do not forget to go all-out on school spirit days. Do not get too caught up in the stress of high school to forget that this is your chance to get involved -- and the chance to make this four of the greatest years of your life. ************************************************* Again, I hope you and your teen will adopt Annie’s philosophy as your mantra this year so the future has no “Gee, I wish” regrets!

In most cases, if the event will take place at a location other than TCH, by clicking on the specific event, then clicking on <<map to location>> Google Maps will open with the destination address identified (assuming you have internet access). The TCH Calendar may also be viewed through Parents Web by selecting Calendar under Parent Resources. Again, by selecting the event, the destination address will be displayed.
