NOTES FROM THE NURSES:
Attention class 278!  This Friday the nurses’ office is hosting nursing students from Villanova University to assist us in completing our annual state mandated health screenings.  The screenings will take place in the Spain conference room from 9:30 12:30. On Friday, please check if your homeroom teacher has appointment slips.  If you have a test during your scheduled screening, PLEASE TAKE YOUR TEST FIRST and come for your screening after.  Bring your glasses, if you wear them.

Senior advisors: Please check your box on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning for appointment slips to be given out during homeroom. We will be screening approximately half of our seniors, so not all homerooms will be included.  If a senior in your class is scheduled for a health screening, please excuse them to do so.  If their appointment is scheduled during a test, please have them take the test FIRST, and they can complete their screening after. Thank you ALL for your assistance in this MASS SCREENING event! Leigh A. Coakley, RN and Rodney Abary, CRNP (9/28)

  • Adelina Donato (Financial/Purchasing Specialist) is in the building every Tuesday and Thursday.
  • Faculty/Staff:  Students need a library pass to enter Barnwell Library during advisory.
    Library passes have been distributed to all advisory teachers. If you did not receive passes send a student to the library.  The rationale for library passes has always been and continues to be predicated upon the library’s limited capacity of 120 people.   There are 76 advisories.  2 x 76 = 152. Therefore be judicious. Send only one or two people to the library.  Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.
  • Students:  You need a library pass to enter Barnwell Library during advisory.
    The rationale for library passes has always been and continues to be predicated upon the library’s limited capacity of 120 people.  As our primary mission is to provide a quiet and orderly environment we must maintain limits on usage.
    Thank you for your cooperation in asking your advisor for a library pass. J. Lobron (10/1)
  • Faculty: Please desist from placing on students the responsibility of printing curricular materials. Access to the Barnwell library printer is designed to accommodate students with written essays, summaries, synopses, lab reports etc.; not worksheets and instructional materials.    The responsibility of printing and disseminating relevant instructional materials is your responsibility. We are unable to maintain the current level of usage. Thank you for your cooperation.  J. Lobron (9/27)
  • All students, please join the SA Google Classroom page. Keep up to date with student activities around school. The code is 3x4v9oe Ms. G. Cervantes (9/26)
  • Earn community service and learn about the artworks and objects in Central’s collection.  I am looking to work with a team of 5-10 students to help photograph, catalogue, research and develop a database that represents the works in our school’s art collection. We will also learn how to care for and preserve the objects.  We will meet during advisory periods on Wednesdays. I am seeking students with natural curiosity, good work ethic, who are team players and have good attendance and punctuality to school. If you are interested in art, art history, Central’s history, or research projects in general – even better!  I hope to hear from you. Please find me in room 8 or email me at akeefe@philasd.org Ms. A. Keefe (9/28)
