Yealey Elementary School Newsletter

 Yealey Families,

I can't believe this is the last blog update of the year.  This year has definitely been a year of change and growth.  A year that I will always remember!

Construction is supposed to be completed on July 28th and new furniture delivered on August 1st.  Hopefully these dates stay true and we are ready to show off a beautiful renovation at Back to School Fair on 8/11/25.  The Fair will be 4:00 - 7:00 and we plan to have it inside again.  But, be ready to be flexible if construction is behind. I will send out communication at the beginning of August to update you on this. 

With the construction, we are getting a new bus loop.  This means that parent pick up procedures will be different next year.  Our plan is to dismiss parent pick up students from the library and out the canopy doors instead of out of the gym.  We will still use our number system.  Separating buses and cars should prevent traffic back ups on Yealey Dr. and Surfwood Dr. and should make for a quicker process. 

We will be having open library nights this summer.  Mrs. Collins is excited to see you for Library on the Lawn days 6/12/25; 6/26/25; 7/17/25; and 7/31/25. Watch for information from her on themes and times.

The district is moving all of our communication to one app for all schools.  So, we will no longer be using Bloomz but will be communicating through the new BCS app that looks like this in your app store:

Please download this app and turn on push notifications.  This will be our main mode of communication starting July 1st.  This will be one app for all of your students in Boone County Schools.  You will be able to go through and choose all the schools you want to follow.   So, be sure to follow Yealey!

Next week we have school Tuesday and Wednesday only.  Tuesday we will celebrate the promotion of our 5th graders on to middle school.  Tuesday evening is our Talent Show.  Then Wednesday we will have our normal end of year fun during specials.

Thank you all for your support this year.  As always, it has been a privilege to have a job that allows me to serve such a wonderful community.  I appreciate our families.  I am amazed by our staff.  And, I love our little Bobcats.  

I hope everyone has a great summer.  I hope you get to spend time slowing down and enjoying family and friends.  Whatever you do, please spend time practicing habit 7 - sharpen the saw!

Mrs. Turner
