SENIORS: Request to send 1st Marking Period grades to colleges

MP1 Grades are not automatically sent to colleges. However, we send out midyear grades report in mid-February once grades are posted to transcripts.

Only if your college is requiring 1st marking period grades for your application review, students should stop by the Senior House Office and fill out a form requesting grades to be sent.

On Tuesday, December 13th, the Student Services department will be hosting PSAT Score Report Q&A Sessions - a 9:30am session for families, and 2 Lunch & Learn sessions for students. Please see the attached flyer for full details and note that the 9:30am session for families will be recorded if you are unable to attend (Teams info: Meeting ID: 222 575 657 953 Passcode: 4A9Lk4).

Please visit South’s Financial Aid webpage where you will find links to our recorded Financial Aid Overview and FAFSA Completion Workshops as well as other Financial Aid resources.

During 11th grade, students should plan to take either the SAT or ACT after they have completed Algebra 2. This will ensure they have covered the Math content that is on these exams. The SAT/ACT are separate from the PSAT (sophomores and juniors only) in October, which is a practice exam for the SAT. Registration for the SAT/ACT is directly through the organization’s website (NOT through CBSD/MyPaymentsPlus). To register for these exams, please use the direct links: SAT Registration OR ACT Registration

We hope that everyone will continue to support our athletic teams during the winter season. South prides itself on good sportsmanship on the part of players and fans alike. Please keep the following in mind as you cheer for our teams this season:

1. The use of profanity and vulgarity is unacceptable at athletic events. Please do not engage in inappropriate or demeaning chants during games. Students who do not comply with this expectation will be ejected from the games and will face disciplinary consequences. Let’s focus on supporting our team, not degrading the opposing school.
   

2. Entering/Rushing the athletes’ area of play is prohibited and dangerous to security, teachers, spectators, and the athletes.
   

3. Students are not permitted to bring purses, draw string bags, backpacks, food, or beverages to any athletic event in the fall season.
   

4. Students are prohibited from trespassing on the property of any school in the Central Bucks School District or on any property in any other school district. Damaging school property or engaging in any other activity that inconveniences the other school’s staff is strictly prohibited and will be considered vandalism, resulting in disciplinary and legal consequences. Please do not jeopardize your good standing by engaging in this type of unacceptable behavior.
   

5. All Central Bucks School District and Central Bucks High School South’s polices apply to students at athletic events. Please be advised that coming to an athletic event under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance is not only extremely dangerous, but also violates School Board Policy 227. If a student chooses to attend a CB South athletic event while under the influence, law enforcement will be notified and a suspension will be imposed.

CB South’s Administration respectfully requests that parents monitor their child’s whereabouts and actions before athletic events at CB South. Please be aware of your child’s plans before the event, how they will safely get to the event, and how they will safely arrive home from the event.

We hope that you continue to show your enthusiasm and school spirit as we enter the fall athletic season. The Faculty and Administration at CB South has always considered your ability to support our teams in a positive and respectful manner as one of our key points of pride. Please join your classmates in continuing this proud tradition.
