Yealey Families,

It's been a great week at school.  We have been focused on getting back into the school routines and making new friends.  Everyone is doing a great job and the building doesn't feel like the kids were gone for 12 weeks.  

Our dismissal process has gotten back on pace.  Our goal each day is to roll out of the parking lot at 3:45 unless there are bus issues.  We have met that goal two days in a row!  Hopefully this afternoon goes just as smoothly.  We still have two double run buses but we also have two additional buses that run a double run for middle school and so they are often late here.  Please just remember to stay patient.

Next week we will be doing our Fall benchmark assessments.  Please remind your child to do their best and show off everything they remembered and learned over the summer.  This year we will be using this data to make reading intervention plans with more detail than previous years' plans for some of the students. We will also use the data, like we always have, to plan instruction individually and as a whole class.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Mrs. Turner

 Welcome Back Yealey Families!

We had a great start to the 2023-2024 school year.  Lots of happy faces and getting right back into routines.  It was so nice to see all my Bobcats back and to meet my new friends.  I can't wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish this year. Bobcats are going to shine BRIGHT as we celebrate Yealey turning 60!

Thank you for your patience during dismissal yesterday and today.  Yesterday we rolled buses out at 4:05.  Today we shaved 5 minutes and rolled out at 4:00.  The goal will be to roll our first run buses and start moving parent pick up at 3:45.  Hopefully by next Friday that's what you see.  We do have one permanent double run already in place and will probably have another start on Monday.  So, watch for information from transportation concerning that possibility.  

This message is from Ms. Wilson, our librarian, 

If your student completed the BCPL Summer Reading Challenge or completed their Summer Bridge Book, please email megan.wilson2@boone.kyschools.us as soon as possible.  You can also send the completed book back to school. We will be scheduling our annual celebration soon and need all student names.  Thank you.  Ms. Wilson

Have a great weekend,

Mrs. Turner
