WE NEED LOTS OF HELP FROM OUR PARENTS PRIOR TO SCHOOL STARTING
SO PLEASE COME AND EARN YOUR $100.00 FOR YOUR SERVICE HOURS.
Wednesday (tonight), Thursday and Friday we are going to be continuing our painting parties so that the school will look great for the students.  Parents can come any time after 6:30pm. Please enter through the cafeteria doors.

Also, on Saturday, Aug. 17, we will be doing painting, cleaning, and the final preparation of the classrooms. We would love to have volunteers from 8:00-2:00.

If you can come to any of these volunteer times, please email Sister Ellen Marie (ehagar@setonhs.org) so that we can be sure we have enough supplies.

Our contact for recording parent service hours is Mr. Andy Espinosa.
However, his email address is (lespinosa@setonhs.org)  This is a change from what appeared in the original parent service letter.

If your daughter plays a sport there will be a meeting on September 5th @ 6:00 pm in the auditorium. All parents of athletes should attend.

The Bookstore at Seton is open each weekday from 9 am to 3 pm thru August 23rd.  We are currently accepting fee payments, handing out book-sale envelopes and we are still selling used books.  Some of the text books that we still have available are Glencoe Literature for 9th Grade, Biology, French 1, Spanish 3, Geometry, Environmental Science, Forensics, Business Communications, Personal Financial Literacy, Psychology, Sociology, Design Collection Revealed and HTML.  Please contact Mrs. Joyner on ext. 7145 or by email at pjoyner@setonhs.org (or just drop in) if you are still in need of any of the above text books.  Text book sales are still on a cash basis only.

Like Horses?  Then join the Seton Equestrian Club.
 
We practice once a week on Saturday morning/early afternoon at Celtic Acres Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD (http://www.celticacresfarm.com/Seton-Equestrian-Team.html).  We run both a competitive show team practice as well as a beginner practice, so you do not have to know how to ride to join the Equestrian Club, however you will have to be comfortable at a walk, trot, and canter in order to show. I am the parent of Seton student and I volunteer my time and my horses free of charge to anyone interested in joining the team.
 
For more advanced riders, the Seton Equestrian Club participates in shows run by the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA).  The IEA series offers riders in grades 6th-12th a unique opportunity to compete in a sport that is normally not offered in schools. They emphasize a positive atmosphere of fair play, goodwill, and sportsmanship. They allow riders of all levels, the chance to compete in a safe environment. Through the IEA, students have the opportunity to earn scholarships towards their college education through awards in competition and through sportsmanship activities. For more information, you can visit their websitehttp://www.rideiea.org/about/index.html.
 
Anyone interested in joining the team, should email Mrs. Bridget Rice at celticacresfarm@yahoo.com for more information.

Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors are required to purchase their Religion books.  Sophomores will be charged a fee on their fee statement to cover the Religion book.  This book will then be given to them in class once school starts.

Clarification: There are two books Juniors must purchase for their Religion class but only one is currently available with the publisher.  The other book will be available this fall and students will be notified in class by their teacher to purchase the book. 

The 2013-2014 school year schedules have been loaded up to the portal. We have made every effort to give students their first choice of courses.  However, the master schedule is based on room and teacher availability as well as the demand for a class.  In addition, we have to ensure that everyone has or is working towards their required courses for graduation.

Requests for a change were available until today, Wednesday, July 31st.  All issues will now be addressed when school opens in August.

All students in Seton Chorale and Concert Choir need to check their Seton email accounts for an important email regarding summer assignments.

When payments are made by check, especially tuition payments, please include your daughter's name and SID # on the memo line, so that your payment will be credited to the correct account. Thank you.

Any student wishing to try out for a 2013-2014 sports team (including cheerleading) must have a new physical, performed after June 1, on file in the clinic. Forms can be found on our website www.setonhs.org under Athletics and Admissions, or click here.
