Hi Yealey Families,

I wanted to thank everyone who came out last night for our Leader In Me showcase event.  It was filled with so many wonderful projects and examples of all the great learning students have done this year.  The children were so excited to show off their successes and I love seeing them shine!

Please see below from Becky Courtney:

Yealey’s Title I Program Parent Survey will be coming home on Monday, April 29^th.  Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts with us by completing and returning the Survey by Friday, May 10^th.  We use this data to improve our Title I Program and services in the upcoming school year.  Your opinions and experiences are important to us.  Thank you in advance for your time and effort!

I hope that everyone is planning on attending our Color The Future Color Run on May 11th.  It is one of my favorite days of the year.  It is so fun to have everyone together enjoying some exercise!

Have a great weekend!

Yealey Families,

I hope everyone had a nice Spring Break.  The weather was amazing and I just really enjoyed being at home.  It has been an awesome week back and we have hit the ground running to wrap up everything for the year.  

We completed our end of the year STAR reading and Math benchmark tests.  All of the data looks really good as a whole school.  Every grade level's data increased and you can really see the hard work of all the students when you look at how far they've come from the beginning of the year. 

We will be completing our end of year writing assessment and then we will have K-Prep, state testing, for grades 3 - 5.  I will send more info on dates for that soon.

We will also be sending home a parent survey next week.  This is something that we need to have completed for our Leader In Me progress.  Please be watching for that and I look forward to hearing from you!

Next Thursday is our Leader In Me Parent Showcase 4:00 - 7:00.  So, we have moved our SBDM meeting to Wednesday at 4:00.  Also, please be sure to go to the cafeteria and vote when you are here for the event.  We will have both SBDM elections and PTA board elections.  We are still looking for a minority parent to run for our minority parent position on SBDM.  If you are interested in that, please email me at renee.turner@boone.kyschools.us.

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend.  Enjoy your family and friends.

Hi Yealey Families,

We have had a great week at Yealey - Lots of learning happening everywhere.  Fifth grade has had another amazing trip to Tremont, TN.  Please check social media to see all the great pics.  Fourth grade visited the Behringer Crawford Museum and had a great trip. The children were very excited to tell me about some of the awesome things they saw on that trip.

Next week is spring break.  We return to school on the 15th.  When we get back there will be lots of fun and important activities taking place.  Be sure to check your child's folders, the blog calendar, and the website for information about all these events.  One of these that I want to be sure you hear about is our Leader In Me Parent Night.  This will be held on April 25th. Information about specifics for your child will come from the classroom teacher.  I really hope everyone can attend.

On April 25th PTA will be holding their yearly elections.  We have several very important parent positions open.  The PTA board will have openings so, please email jamie.yealeypta@gmail.com to let her know if you're interested.  We also have two seats on our site base council as well as a minority parent seat open.  If you're interested in running for site base, please send me an email with a short bio about yourself and why you'd like to serve on site base.  I will forward these to the PTA so that they can hold the election.  My email is renee.turner@boone.kyschools.us 

I hope everyone enjoys spring break.  I know there was lots of excitement here today.  I will see you all on the 15th!
