Yealey Families,

What a great week it has been here at school!  Thank you to everyone who came out to see our Celebration of Learning.  I am so proud of the kids and all of their hard work.  I'm so glad we could be together to let them show that off!

State testing starts Monday and runs through May 13th.  It is different days/times for each grade level, 3 - 5, so please look for specifics from the homeroom teachers.  It is very important that students are on time during testing because they are not allowed to enter the classroom once testing begins.  They would have to wait in the library and take a make-up test at another time if they arrive late on a testing day.

We also have lots of field trips and special days coming up at the end of school.  Please be sure you are returning permission slips so that your child can participate.   

I hope you all enjoy the weekend!  I look forward to seeing you Monday to start the last month of school for the year.

 Yealey Families,

Welcome back from Spring Break!  I hope everyone enjoyed the week off sharpening the saw.  It has been a great first week back.  

Tomorrow morning is our color run.  It will be held at school this year and starts at 9:00.  

Next week we are having a Yealey spirit wear

day on Wednesday so that we can show the Leader In Me audit team our Yealey Pride!  So, wear a Yealey shirt or blue and yellow.  Show your pride!

Thursday night is our Celebration of Learning for the year!  Details should be coming home from your homeroom teachers.  It should be a great night of showing off some of the things your children have been working on.  

We will also be doing our end of year STAR testing next week.  I am excited to see all the growth the school will show in reading and math.  

I hope you have a great weekend!

 Yealey Families,

We had a very busy week here at school.  Fifth grader visited Tremont, TN in the Great Smokey Mountains for 3 days.  They had a great time and learned lots.  The fifth graders that didn't go to TN, visited Camp Ernst Nature Park and had their own outdoor learning adventure.  Fifth grade was a very busy place to be this week!

Fourth grade also took a field trip to the Nature Park and enjoyed a full day of hiking and outdoor learning.  It is so nice to be back to being able to take field trips.  I know the kids have missed these special days.  

We also had our first regular whole school assembly this week. And it was a great feeling to have us all back together in the gym again.  Things are definitely starting to feel regular again and that is awesome!

I don't want to repeat the all call you received today about our evacuation but I do want to say again how great everyone handled the situation.  I am very proud of the students and staff for making that nothing more than just a short break in the normal.  Everything worked perfectly! 

Next week is spring break.  I hope everyone enjoys their time and if you're traveling I wish you safe travels.  

I look forward to seeing you back on April the 18th for the last five weeks of the 2021-2022 school year!

 Yealey Families,

It was a great week here at Yealey.  I enjoyed working with students as they read new books and figured out math problems.  A great group of 4th graders today told me I made their brains hurt with the math problems we were trying to solve. I love this! 

Next week we have our 5th grade group going to Tremont, TN.  I know they are very excited and are ready for an amazing trip!  Parents of students that are going, be sure they are here on time Monday morning - the bus is on a tight schedule!

Be sure our Celebration of Learning Night is marked on your calendars for April 28th and our Color Run is marked on April 23rd.  

Have a great weekend everyone!

See you next week,

Mrs. Turner
