GRADE 11 – Special Reminders
11th Grade Class Dean: Shay Squeglia (301.365.6104)
ImPACT Testing (Baseline for Concussions): All 11th grade students will take a brief baseline impact test at school either during pre-season (for fall athletes) or in early September. The tests will be administered under the supervision of Maureen Siburt, Athletic Trainer, and Lori Herringa, Director of Student Health. Students will complete the computer-based test during their free periods. Test results will be used only in the event that a student has sustained a possible concussion. Should a student suffer a concussion (whether during a school activity or elsewhere), the school will follow Holton's Concussion Policy to ensure a safe and stable recovery period.
Thursday-Saturday, September 14 to 16: HARP (Holton-Arms Retreat Program)
All 11th grade students will participate in this three-day retreat program.

We ask for the girls' and families' support with this annual event. More information will be sent as we begin the year.

Parking Permits – 11th and 12th Grade ONLY
Due to space limitations, student parking on campus is limited to Juniors and Seniors. Students should see Ken Bryson at the Front Desk to register their car and to get a parking hangtag. If they currently have a hangtag, students must still fill out a registration form for the upcoming school year with their current hangtag number inserted on the form. Remember, no students may park on campus without a hangtag after the first week of classes.
IMPORTANT ADVANCE NOTICE ABOUT TEXTBOOK PURCHASING FOR 11th GRADE HISTORY: When the time comes next month to purchase your daughter's textbooks for the coming year, you need not re-purchase the Boyer, Mullane, Perry or McKay texts as the girls used these during 10th grade and should still have their copies.
