We are doing a Spring Clothing Drive for the month of March! We apologize for the communication mix up where it was included on the March Family Calendar that the clothing drive will start in April.
Please use this month, March, to donate any outgrown clothing/shoe items from your family as you prepare for warmer weather!
Thank you from the Yolanda Family Resource Center!

Inclement Weather and Safety Concerns
Posted by Kristin Woodford on 2/13/2023Good afternoon Yolanda Families,
Just wanted to quickly share that in case we end up with NO SCHOOL due to snow/ice tomorrow (February 14), we will plan for class parties to be on the next school day.
Also, please check the SPS District website, news stations and radio stations for any information about a school delay or closure.
I wanted to share that we have had several close calls with our crossing guards while helping students cross before and after school.
Please remember to slow down, stop at stop signs and watch for Mrs. Kathy to direct traffic while at the intersection in front of school.Lastly, Monday February 20th is Presidents' Day and a non-school day for students.
Many thanks,
Kari Isham
