Yealey Families,
This will be my last blog update for this year. WE DID IT! The Yealey Family weathered this pandemic together. While I don't know for sure what school will look like in the Fall all indications at this point look like we will get a normal school start. And nothing will make me happier! I know this year has been hard and it's easier sometimes to focus on how hard things are instead of looking for the blessings. But in my reflections on school since March 2020, I see many great things. At the top of my list is I believe we have a stronger school - parent partnership. We have definitely walked this year together gaining insights into each other. I believe this will just mean we are stronger going forward and I can't wait to see all we will accomplish in the next few years without a pandemic!
We have wrapped up K-Prep testing this week except for a few make-ups everyone is done. Next week we will finish any "have to's" that are left in the classrooms, have field days during specials, and celebrate our 5th graders going to middle school. Fifth grade parents look for an email detailing this process.
We also have our yearbooks on sale now. Information will be sent home soon and the electronic flyer will be on Facebook.
I know I say it every year and I want to be sure you hear it again. I am so grateful that I can serve your children as their principal. I really consider it a privilege. Like most of you, this year has provided so many difficulties for me personally and professionally and each one comes as just another reminder that I am truly grateful for the school and family life I have. I hope each of you feels that same joy and you have a summer to celebrate that.
My hope and plans are that we will have our traditional back to school fair picnic on August 12th. School starts for kids on August 18th. Watch for emails coming towards the end of the summer with all the details.
Mrs. Turner
