Yealey Families,

It's the last Friday of the school year and so the last blog update for the 23-24 school year.  It has been another amazing year at Yealey and I have so many good moments to sit back and reflect on.  This has been my 9th year as principal of Yealey and it has been a privilege to serve the Yealey students and families again.  I feel extremely lucky to be a part of this community and I love seeing my Bobcats grow year in and year out.   

This summer will be a little different because our long awaited construction will begin in June.  The whole school will undergo a multi year, multi million dollar renovation.  I am so excited to see the results of this renovation - our building has needed this for awhile and I'm so excited to see it finally begin!  This will mean that next year will have different logistics and procedures for some things.  We will communicate any changes closer to school starting once we see the state of the grounds in August.  

Our back to school fair is August 12th 4:00 - 7:00. Details on this will be sent out at the beginning of August.  Be sure to watch for that information.  It is our intent to buy the school supplies for students again this year.  We will need you to supply backpacks and headphones for sure.  If there is anything else, that information will be available at the beginning of August also.

Next week will be jam packed with lots of celebrations and fun.  End of kindergarten program and picnic will be Monday.  Wednesday is 5th grade promotion and our Talent Show is Wednesday evening.  Thursday our PTA is providing a special fun treat for students during their specials.

I appreciate all the family support this year and am looking forward to seeing you all again in August!

Have a safe, fun summer!

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

I hope you've had a great week.  We have been very busy here.  A big thank you to all the parents and PTA members who spoiled the staff this week.  You have all gone above and beyond to make us feel special.  THANK YOU!

State testing started this week for 5th grade and will continue next week for 3rd, 4th,and 5th graders.  Please be sure you have students here everyday on time.  It is important that students are here before we start testing or else they have to be kept separate from their classmates until we can test them.

Next week we have several grade levels going to Lincoln Woods.  Please be sure to watch for information from your homeroom teachers about anything special going on in with your class.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!

See you next week,

Mrs. Turner

 Yealey Families,

I hope you've had a great week.  We have been busy here looking at final benchmark data for all students.  I am happy to report that all grade levels grew on the principal test this year.  I am also very happy to see how excited the students have been to see their growth.  As a principal it's hard to express to every child how much I care about their academic growth and spending time with them giving these tests helps me show that. I am proud of their hard work this year.

State testing for begins on Monday.  Third, fourth, and fifth grade students will be testing at different time over the next two weeks.  It is important that students be at school on time everyday during this window.  

A big thank you to all the students and staff members who went out of their way to spoil me on principal appreciation day.  I really appreciate the kindness!  Next week is teacher appreciation week and PTA is organizing fun for us.  Please see info from them about everything they have planned. 

Please pay close attention to information from homeroom teachers on field trips and park days coming up.  There is lots of fun coming up too.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Turner
