Yealey Families,

We have been working very hard this last full week before winter break to finish our winter benchmarks.  Your kids have done an awesome job of showing us how much they've grown!  We have benchmarked in reading, writing, and math.  Homeroom teachers have had time to score writing samples, look at data, and start making plans for how to start 2024 strong. 

Next week we will only have school on Monday and Tuesday.  Students will return to school on January 3rd.  Please remember to watch social media and the news for possible school delays or closures as we enter the winter months.  We will send Bloomz messages and phone calls but you will need to double check if you don't receive a call and we have had ice or snow.  

This will be my last blog update for 2023.  I hope all of you enjoy the two week break.  Make time for family, friends, and sharpening your saws.

See you in 2024!

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

What a busy and fun week we have had at school.  Third, Fourth, and Fifth graders did a great job at Evening With the Arts.  The chorus and strings groups also had great performances.  Our special area team deserves a round of applause for all their hard work and collaboration to put together such an amazing evening.

We have also been completing our winter benchmark assessments.  I am excited to see the growth our students have made this year.  Next week we will do the principal tests to check in on their writing growth.  I am sure we will see great growth!

Thank you to everyone who supported the book fair this past week.  That is a great fundraiser that goes directly back to the library to keep our shelves stocked with new and exciting books.

Next week the PTA will run their Santa Shop.  Watch for information from homeroom teachers on when your child will have the opportunity to shop.

Have a great weekend! 

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

It's been a great week at school.  I have enjoyed watching 4th graders analyze text and pictures to answer questions.  I've also enjoyed working with students on multiplying multi digit numbers.  I love helping students figure problems out and see those "lightbulbs" go on.

Next week 3rd - 5th graders will be participating in Evening With The Arts. Please be sure to see info from homeroom teachers about that.  K - 2 will do their evening in the spring.

Be sure to click on the counselor page link Guidance Counselor for information about the Panorama Survey our 3 - 5 students just completed.

As the weather starts to get colder, please get in the habit of checking the local news or Boone County School's social media to be sure school is open especially if we've had any ice or snow.  We will be having at least 3 traditional snow days before we do any NTI days.  I will try to do an all call for all school cancellations or delays but don't use the phone call as your only way of obtaining this info.  It is important that you double check the news, Bloomz, and social media just to be sure.  

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  Can't wait to see my Bobcats back here Monday morning!

Mrs. Turner
