Yealey Families -

I hope you've all had a great week.  Hopefully you have been able to avoid all the viruses going around.  Please click on the the First Aid Room page to see a guide on when to keep your child home. The guide is available in English and Spanish. We hate when kids have to stay home but we just want to get and keep everyone well!

I have really enjoyed being with kids this week helping Kindergarten learn to write their letters and work on letter sounds.  I visited with fifth graders working on their culture and countries projects.  I also enjoyed time with some students who have been working hard on learning to read that came to my office to read to me!  We really have the best students here at Yealey!

Next week we have school on Monday and Tuesday and then we are off Wednesday - Friday for Thanksgiving break. I hope you all enjoy your time with family and friends!

 Yealey Families,

It's been a great week at school. I have enjoyed my time this week with our students. I had 4th graders present me with ideas for improving their learning environment. I was able to teach Kindergarteners how they can use the beginning sound and picture cues to read words. I observed 5th graders working together to make presentations on Native Americans. There has been so much learning going on here this week!

The highlight of the week was seeing our 5th graders and chorus hold our annual Veteran's Day program.  It is the first one we have held in person since Covid started and it was so great to see everyone together honoring those that served.  I am a very proud principal! (and no it wasn't me that served, it was our 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Turner and her son Jacob!)

Next week it looks like the weather will turn a little chillier.  Please be sure to dress your child for outdoor recess.  Most of our classes will go outside even if it's chilly. 

There are lots of fun events coming up over the next few weeks of school as we work towards Winter Break.  Please be sure you are checking Bloomz regularly for communication from the homeroom teachers.

We had some money turned in to the office that seems to have been lost at the parent pick up area.  If you've misplaced some money please call the office.

I am looking forward to our Veteran's Day Program today.  Thank you to all who have served.

Have a great weekend with family and friends,

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

It is hard to believe it is November already! We had a great week at school.  I loved being in classrooms this week working with kindergarten and first graders on reading. I also loved analyzing stories with 3rd grade.  It is the best part of my days when I get to see students learning!

We are still seeking a minority parent representative for our Site Base Council.  If you identify as "...American Indian; Alaskan native; African-American; Hispanic, including persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Central American or South American origins; Pacific Islander; or other ethnic group underrepresented in the school”" and would be interested in serving on council please email me, renee.turner@boone.kyschools.us . 

Officer Chapman, our amazing SRO, has put together some guidance for our morning drop off procedures to ensure we are entering school in the safest manner.  Please see below:

Our district has partnered with the Dolly Partner Library.  Please be sure to sign up for this if you have a child 0 - 5 years old at Dolly Partner Library .

Have a great weekend,
