High school provides many challenges for your child. Please talk to your child to see how s/he is coping. Communication is a powerful tool for parents and school staff to support the children as they deal with the demands of high school.

In an effort to support parental decisions, if you decide to send your child to school, I will encourage him/her to remain in school - unless there are observable or measurable signs of illness.

Attention: Parents of 11th grade students

All 11^th grade students are required by the state to have a current Physical Exam (PE) form on file with their school nurse (10^th grade Physical Exam reports are acceptable).

Please return your child’s Physical Exam report (or copy of their sports physical) to the school nurse by the first day of school of their junior year. Physical Exam forms are available in the HS Office or on the district website.

Attention: Parents of 12th grade students

Please be aware that The Pennsylvania Department of Health requires all students entering 12th grade to have a second meningococcal vaccination.

Proof of this immunization must be submitted by all incoming seniors before the start of school their senior year.

This immunization is typically given at the 16 year old physical. Please contact your child's doctor to see if they already received the shot or to schedule an appointment for them to receive the shot it.

Please provide the school with a copy of your child’s immunization record from the doctor’s office confirming they have had this immunization before the end of school their junior year if possible.

Please contact the nurse with any questions at kcoffman@yssd.org.

Parking

Students at York Suburban are required to have a parking permit to park on campus during the school day.

In order to obtain a Parking Permit students must:

Complete and submit the Parking Permit Application, available in IC (Infinite Campus)
Pay the $25 parking permit fee through IC

Parking permits will be distributed by flex teachers, after the start of school.

Parking Permits will not be issued until these items have been completed.

Students will not be penalized or fined for parking on the school lot without a permit during the first week of school. This will allow students time to register and display their permit in their vehicles.

In an effort to go green while preventing the spread of germs, we are trying to minimize the amount of paper and money exchange, however, if for any reason you are unable to submit the application and fee online through IC, a paper copy is available here Parking Permit Application. This can be turned in to the high school main office.

Please see the Student Handbook for further information on parking on and around campus.
