We look forward to seeing you at our informal drop-in “Meet and Greet!” Please note that the times for each grade level are staggered to help with parking. If you have children in more than one grade level, times are staggered so that you can plan your visit accordingly.

School is out for summer vacation! We look forward to seeing everyone back at YES in September.

If you have signed up to volunteer for the Field Day through the PTO please make sure you check the electronic sign up sheet to confirm the times you are scheduled to help. We look forward to a fun day as we wrap up our last full week of school!
