August 2015 - Teurlings Catholic High School

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

for transitioning to college.

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.

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 [email protected]; 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.

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!

TCH TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
LESLIE BERGERON - TECHNOLOGY COORDINATOR
It is not mandatory that students have computers to bring to school
but we do allow them on campus. They definitely need access to a
computer/internet at home for the completion of assignments.
Students at TCH bring a variety of devices to use on campus such
as laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, tablets, etc. The type of device
you purchase is really personal preference. We recommend that
whatever you buy, it should have internet access and some type of
word processing program like Microsoft Office or Google Docs.
