November, 2015 - Stephen T. Badin High School

November 2015
Dear Parents and Students,
The first quarter of the school year has been tremendous. The students have had many opportunities to bond
as a class and as a school. We have had school Masses, class retreats and small group prayer service.
Students have been completing service hours, raising awareness for homelessness by participating in
Shantytown and hosting prospective students who are shadowing at Badin. On a daily basis, we see the
mission of Badin High School in action – inspiring young men and women to achieve their personal best, live
their faith and lead the future.
In order for us to help our students to live our mission, the teachers have been working hard in the classroom
and outside of school to provide a top notch education for our students. Our expectation for the students and
the faculty are high. They are stepping up to the challenge. However, this is a continuous process. Our
teachers will be attending professional development throughout the year and increasing their knowledge and
skills along the way. In return, they will be asking more and more of the students. Education today expects
more from teachers and students than ever before. It is our job to make sure each student is well prepared for
his/her future.
November is a month where the students will have several days off school. Students are off school on Nov. 2nd
for a faculty professional development day and we will take November 25, 26, and 27th off for Thanksgiving
break. We will celebrate Mass on Tuesday, November 24th. Please come and join us. A group of seniors are
going on a Mission Trip to help out at St. Mildred’s parish in Kentucky. We have many things to be thankful for
at Badin High School and it is good that our students recognize their blessings and take the time to help out
others in need.
Report cards were distributed on Friday, October, 23rd. If you have questions or concerns with a grade or
would just like to talk to a teacher, please email the teacher. If you do not receive a response within a
reasonable time – 48 hours – please email the teacher again and copy me on that email.
We have our Open House on Sunday, November 1st. If you know of any prospective families that have
students approaching high school, please let them know about our Open House. Our faculty, staff and students
do a terrific job of showcasing the school. We appreciate your continued support in promoting Badin.
Financial Aid applications for the 2016-17 school year are due DECEMBER 1st. You can complete the
application on-line by going to our website – www.badinhs.org – and clinking on For Parents. Then look for the
FACTS link. This will lead you to the financial aid application. It is important to apply by December 1st. All
forms and supporting documentation must be submitted by the due date.
Our fall sport season is wrapping up. The girls’ tennis team and boys’ golf team had successful seasons. The
boys’ soccer team had its best record since 2004. The boys cross country team, girls’ volleyball team, girls’
soccer team and the football team are all still competing at this point. We have several athletes receive allleague honors. We are very proud of all our fall student-athletes.
Please continue to talk to your students about being responsible young men and women. Social media is
always a focus for us and we encourage you to monitor your child’s social media accounts. It is important for
the student to hear the message regarding good decision making from both home and school.
Thank you for your continued support of Badin High School. If you ever have any questions, concerns or
suggestions please contact me at any time. I will be glad to meet with you.
God Bless You and Your Family,
Brian D. Pendergest

Office Of Advancement
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund helps bridge the funding gap that exists between the amount of tuition we receive and the actual cost of
educating a student here at Badin. Without the Annual Fund, tuition would increase well beyond what most families can
afford. Badin provides the best value for the amount of tuition charged in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and yet it still
doesn’t cover the full cost of educating each student. By supporting the Badin Annual Fund, you help us continue the tradition of profoundly shaping the way students Think, Achieve, Serve and Lead. This is why Badin depends on the Annual
Fund each year. The most significant way any of us can donate to Badin is through the Annual Fund.
Our Board of Trustees and administration work tirelessly to keep our tuition increases to a minimum. Even though Badin
provides the best value in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the amount we charge in tuition still doesn’t cover the actual cost of
educating students. In fact, this year the gap between actual cost and tuition charged is $442,000 or $815 per student.
That is why each year our Advancement office seeks support for the Annual Fund...to bridge the tuition gap and make a
Badin education as affordable as possible.
At Badin High School, we do everything in our power to provide each student with the best educational, spiritual, extracurricular, and athletic opportunities available. Without philanthropic support, however, that would not be possible.
In order to address that challenge, every year we ask parents, alumni and friends to support the Annual Fund to help cover
the tuition gap for your student. Gifts of all amounts pull together to fund the gap. Would you consider a gift of
$50 or more to fund the gap of $815 for your student?
Online donations can be made by clicking on this link:
https://www.supportingbadin.org/

YES!
I’d like to help bridge the gap and donate to the 2015-16 Badin Annual Fund
Please return to Badin with
your donation.

Has your student athlete signed up with FinalForms as required?
We are very excited that the Badin Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an on-line program
which will enable you and your student to complete & file MOST athlete forms electronically. FinalForms is
immediately available for all Ram athletes. The ONLY form that you are still required to actually print, complete,
and file in the Athletic Department, is the actual OHSAA Physical form. The physical form must be completed by
the doctor and by law we are required to have a signed copy on file. Once your student’s physical is received by
the athletic department we will input the expiration date into FinalForms and then you
will receive automatic notifications when your student’s forms need to be updated. Click on the Parent
Registration guide to get started in FinalForms. This link is also available on the Badin athletic web pages.
We are asking that ALL student-athletes (grades 9-12) use FinalForms. Even if your student’s
current physical paperwork does not expire until after the new school year begins, please register
@https://badin-oh.finalforms.com now and electronically complete all the forms!
Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork process in the Athletic Dept.
