Dear Colgan Families,


Its finally here! The opening of our beautiful school and the start of our new community is really happening. All
the meetings, all the planning, and all the debate have finally resulted in what school should be really about the
energy and excitement that your children bring to the school when they walk the halls, attend classes, participate
in activities, and compete in athletics. I cant promise we will be perfect. In fact, I know we wont. We will make
mistakes. I can promise that we will be focused on your child having an amazing high school experience. We will
be focused on exactly what our school vision says, Preparing and Inspiring Students for Their Future.
Construction is ongoing. Several areas of the building and campus are not complete. Mostly these areas are
cosmetic and while everything is not perfectly done, it is functional. Most things are punch list items that will
be corrected over the coming months. As you can imagine for a project this size, the list is really long. Not to
worry, the Construction staff from Prince William County Schools have great experience and expertise in this
area and will make sure all of our items get rectified.
One challenge starting a new school is establishing all the procedures and protocols. This can be especially
difficult as we attempt to bring together our staff from different schools. We will work through all of these
issues and are prepared to adjust our thoughts if something is not working as expected. Thank you for your
patience and understanding as we discover the Colgan Way!
One relevant such issue is class changes. Our Counseling Department has worked many hours putting together
the schools master schedule. This task is monumental as there are so many moving parts. As we begin the
school year, we will be unable to accommodate immediate requests to change classes. The counselors must
focus on major conflicts or problems in student schedules (i.e. student enrolled in English 9 when he/she should
be in English 11). Any class change impacts our master schedule and class sizes. Sometimes students want to
change classes for reasons that might seem valid to them, but really are not something we can accommodate (i.e.
a student wants a different elective so he/she can have the same lunch shift as a friend or a student wants to
change classes because they heard that one teacher is harder than another).
Based on these reasons, please be aware that students wanting to change schedules at this point will not
automatically get approved. If your child wants to drop a level of the same course (i.e. from A.P. or Pre A.P to a
general section of the course), this will be considered at the end of the first marking period. These drops will be
allowed if the parent, teacher, counselor and I come to consensus that it is in the best interest of the student. Of
course, in very isolated cases where by agreement of all parties that a student is inappropriately placed the
course may be changed. Thank you for your understanding regarding this procedure and, I hope, everyone
understands and supports our efforts to make the beginning of school a positive experience for everyone.
Back to School Night is scheduled for Thursday, September 8th at 7 pm. I hope you can attend to meet your
childs teachers and hear a little bit about their classes.
Thank you for entrusting us with your childs education. I am excited you are a part of the start of Colgan High
School History. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make your childs experience better.
Sincerely,
Tim Healey

SCHOOL COUNSELING OFFICE NEWS AND VIEWS


Welcome to the Colgan School Counseling Department
The time has finally arrived! The School Counseling Department is excited to meet and work with our new
Colgan students and families for the 2016-2017 school year. Thank you for your patience and understanding
these past months as we prepared for the arrival of our students. We have four amazing counselors who
were selected to be part of the Colgan counseling team. Mrs. Claire Handville (A-D), Mrs. Levette Hull (E-K),
Mrs. Yanet Boyd (L-P), and Dr. Leah Byrd (Q-Z), are ready to assist our students not only in the transition to
a new high school, but also in preparing them for their future.
Student Schedules
The counselors arrived in the building on August 15 and have been working diligently with students and families on resolving conflicts in their schedules. The master schedule presented some challenging opportunities
with over 100 courses being offered in only one period. With no senior class and a smaller junior class, we
were unable to offer as many electives and sections as usual. We will have more course offerings and sections in the next school year.
As some families have been on vacation and unreachable, we will finalize these adjustments during the first
week of school. Students will receive their official schedules during their 1st period/homeroom class on August 29th. If the student is in a wrong class in the areas of English, Social Studies, Health and PE or Math,
your teacher will send you to the Counseling Center during the block in which you are in the wrong class.
Please check Parent Portal the weekend prior to August 29th, in case an adjustment has been made to the
students first period class. Again, we appreciate your flexibility and support, and we understand that some
students had to make difficult decisions in final course selections.
Scheduling an Appointment with Your Counselor
Students will be able to request an appointment with their counselor online from any computer or mobile device, at home or school. The link for the online appointment requester will be posted on the counseling website during the first week of school. Students may also visit the Counseling Center before school, during
lunch, and after school to make an appointment. Please allow 24-48 hours to process your request; however, in the case of an emergency, please visit the Counseling Center immediately (or during the next school
day). Parents can also email their students counselors to set up an appointment.
Parent Portal
If you are new to Prince William County, please sign up for Parent Portal to view your students test information, homework, grades, and attendance. You can also view and edit your contact information.
Your Parent Portal user name and password will also be your login for your school website to view your
childs classroom activities and homework. Instructions on registering for an account can be found under the
Parent section of the county website. After submitting the registration online, you will receive a validation
email sent to you which contains your user information; however, the account is inactive until you bring the
validation email to Colgan High School. The person applying for the account must print the email, sign the
bottom and take it to your students school with a photo ID. Ms. Theresa Kaufman, the front office receptionist, or Mrs. Mellany Williams, school counseling secretary, will activate your parent portal account. All
parent portal accounts are issued to an individual, therefore the individual that applied for the account must
be the person that signs and presents the email and their photo ID.
All students and parents currently registered with Parent Portal will be able to login with their current
username and password. After 4:00 PM on August 26, student schedules will be uploaded to Parent Portal.
Students will now use their PWCS login to access their schedule and teacher class pages on the school websites; however, they will still use their Parent Portal login for the Parent Portal.
The school counseling department looks forward to working together with you to make this a fun and exciting
first year at Colgan High School.

We are very excited to be welcoming the inaugural group of CFPA students to Colgan High School. The
facilities are amazing with state of the art technology that will inspire all. A dynamic staff of teachers
await to nurture the talents of our passionate students in the arts.
The CFPA Handbook is in the process of being re-examined and modified with input from the staff to best
meet the needs and expectations of the program here at Colgan. As the teachers return for the school
year we will be meeting with them to attain their valued insight and vision for the program. We anticipate
this new handbook to be on the website by the end of September.
We will be placing more information about the program on the website as we proceed through the year.

Dear Parent/Guardian:
In response to the requirements of Section 22.1-207.1 of the Code of Virginia, instruction in
Prince William County Public Schools includes a comprehensive, sequential, abstinence-based,
age-appropriate, Family Life Education curriculum.
Although the Family Life Education curriculum is highly compatible with existing curricula and
serves to enrich the educational experiences of students in Prince William County Public Schools,
objectives in the Family Life Education curriculum may be considered sensitive by some parents/
guardians. Therefore, parents are afforded the opportunity to opt their children out of instruction
involving this curriculum. Unless you indicate otherwise, your child will be included in instruction

that involves Family Life Education.

Family Life Education objectives for each grade level and course are available at your childs
school and online at http://pwcs.science.schoolfusion.us/. If you have questions pertaining to
specific objectives before making opt-out decisions, please contact your childs school. If you
determine that your child should not be included in formal instruction, complete the opt-out
section of this letter and return it to your childs school. Arrangements will then be made for your
child to participate in an appropriate instructional activity during instruction involving Family Life
Education objectives. This instructional activity will not include components of the Family Life
Education program. Parents or guardians transferring children to schools in Prince William
County are responsible for informing the new school of their opt-out decisions.
For students receiving Family Life Education instruction in special education classrooms,
appropriate grade/subject level objectives will be determined by the Individualized Education
Program (IEP) committee and recorded on the IEP form. If the parent/guardian does not wish
their child to receive instruction in Family Life Education objectives selected by the IEP
committee, the parent/guardian should sign the opt-out form.
Any parent/guardian may opt their child out of direct Family Life Education instruction; however,
teachers cannot be held responsible for spontaneous questions from students that may pertain to
subjects previously discussed. Neither can a teacher be held accountable for discussions of
sensitive topics that occur among students outside class.

It is recognized that some families would prefer to have instruction related to Family Life Education
provided in the home, in the church, or by the family physician. Every effort will be made to ensure
that students understand and respect family choices in this matter so as to avoid undue peer
pressure for or against the program.
Sincerely,

Jason Calhoun

FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE


Welcome back to the 2016-17 school year. Ginger Sorensen (clinic aide) and Pam Johnson (School
Nurse) are so excited about this upcoming school year. Our main function in the clinic is to take
care of health related problems and needs that occur during normal school hours. Students and
parents are asked to contact the school nurse if they have any questions concerning the student's
medical needs. During the school year, health screening is provided for selected students. The
screening includes vision and hearing. When conditions are found that merit attention, parents are
notified. For health and safety reasons, ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE A PASS TO THE NURSE. It
cannot be a stop off between classes.
MEDICATIONS - State Board of Education policy requires a note for the administration of medication
by the school nurse. Medications prescribed by a doctor must be brought to school in the original
container with proper labeling along with a completed medication administration form. In addition,
controlled medications must be brought in by an adult and handed to the nurse with the exact count
of pills in the container. Students must have a medication authorization form filled out by the
parent/guardian for Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or Tums to be given during the day.
Students may carry an asthmatic "quick relief" inhaler or an emergency epi-pen if:
* There is a signed Asthma Action Plan or Allergy Plan on file
* They have a medical need
* The medication has the prescription label

* The school nurse is aware they have the emergency medication


Students who use the epi-pen should always report to the school nurse immediately or if a student
uses the "quick relief inhaler" and they do not experience relief. All other medications are to be
kept in the nurses office. STUDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CARRY ANY MEDICATIONS, including Tylenol, Advil or Midol to take on their own. All medications are to be administered by the
school nurse.
EMERGENCY CARD INFO - An emergency card must be completed. We must have pertinent information to provide optimal care and protection for our students. PLEASE RETURN THEM AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE. If parents / guardians change their phone number, address, or emergency num-

bers it is critical that the nurse know immediately in order to ensure the students safety.
In order to provide the best educational experience, school personnel
must understand your childs health needs. We look forward to a safe
and healthy school year. Please feel free to contact the Health Clinic
with any questions or concerns at: 571.374.6173
