The cost is $25.00. Shirts in either white or blue are available only in the discipline office. No other type of shirt may be worn with the optional golf shirt. They will be sold the first full week of school during lunch periods. Checks for these golf shirts should be made out to Cardinal O'Hara High School. (Please note: No other company is authorized to sell O'Hara golf shirts. The school seal is not permitted to be duplicated by any company without the expressed permission of the school.) School Fee The fee of $200.00 ($275.00 for seniors) must be paid before a roster will be sent. This fee, along with the fall and winter fund raisers, help to fund in part student related services, activities and athletics. The school fee is not refundable after it has been paid and the school year has started. back to top School Bus Transportation Some school districts include schedules and procedures with bus passes that they mail directly to students in that district. Other districts do not mail their passes but publish transportation information in the local newspapers. If you have any questions about public school district busing, call your local public school district office. back to top Request for Volunteers Any parent, grandparent or friend of O'Hara can volunteer to help our school. We appreciate whatever help you offer us in any capacity. Please complete the enclosed form and return it in person or by mail to the principal's office. back to top Math Department Students learn best if they are active participants in the learning process. Technology allows today's Mathematics classroom to become a laboratory where students explore and experiment with mathematical concepts rather than just memorize isolated concepts. Students make generalizations and reach conclusions about mathematical concepts and relationships and apply them to real life situations. Therefore, at the present time, all mathematic students are required to own and use a graphics calculator. We strongly recommend the TI-85. Students are encouraged to give to their teacher or mail to Mrs. Dugan the Proof of Purchase that is located on the back of the box. The school is able to procure free equipment from Texas Instrument with these POPs. Students registered for PreCalculus Track 1 or AP, and AP Statistics have a summer assignment. It was given out during the last week of school. Copies of these assignments can be obtained from the O'Hara Website. back to top Smoking Policy Smoking is not permitted within the school building or on school property, before, during or after school. To avoid any unnecessary discussion, any student in possession of tobacco products including pipes, papers, matches, and lighters will, as will any student(s) in his or her company be charged with smoking. This includes those students who act as "lookouts" or warn other students that a faculty member or administrator is approaching. All articles considered contraband will be confiscated. Violators of the no smoking rule are required to schedule a parent interview and a $25.00 fine will be levied for the first offense, a $50.00 fine for the second offense and so on. The fine will be returned if a stop-smoking class is taken successfully. back to top School Uniform Flynn and O'Hara Uniforms 30 East Baltimore Pike Clifton Heights, PA 19018 Call For Information: (610) 284.1485 Flynn and O'Hara Uniforms 5126 State Rd Drexel Hill, PA 19026 Call For Information: (610) 259.3115 B&S Shoes, Inc.

You would be asked to be present in the classroom to take attendance and to monitor the class while students work on the absent teacher's assignment. We will provide you with the necessary training before you would go into the classroom. If you are interested, please contact the principal's office. back to top Preparation Tips for Parent-Teacher Interview Be aware of what a teacher's expectation level is for this class. Most teachers give a course profile out on "Back to School Night" held in September. Ask your child if all assignments have been completed and handed in on time. Ask your child for all test, quiz, written homework, class or group assignment, seat work, lab, notebook and project grades. (Nothing a teacher tells you at an interview should come as a surprise to you.) Ask your child if they understand how a quarter grade is determined by the teacher. At the Conference Ask the teacher if all your child's assignments have been completed and handed in on time. Compare information with the teacher about the grades for tests, quizzes and so forth. Ask the teacher exactly how the quarter grade was determined. Make sure all your questions are answered before you leave the interview - bring a list of questions with you if necessary. You are encouraged to bring your child to the conference especially if your child is not doing well in a particular subject. Remember: • Parent-Teacher Conferences are an opportunity for an exchange of information between parent and teacher to benefit the student. back to top
