SUMMER BOOST & ALL STAR PROGRAMS
Does your student get bored in the summer? Occupy their time and solve their boredom by enrolling them in Summer Boost. Summer Boost is open from 8 AM to 12 NOON. We serve breakfast, and lunch is also served from noon to 12:45 PM. The best part is that both meals and the program are FREE. To check out our plans for summer and to enroll your student go to: http://yps21cclc.wixsite.com/21cclc. Across the top of the page you will find the enrollment link and the summer plan link. We only take the first 30 per grade level in grades K-4 and a total of 45 in grades 5-7. Enroll soon!
You can find enrollment forms at www.yorkpublic.org, at the YES office, or by emailing a request to [email protected].

Dear Parents:
Schools in communities that meet certain income requirements can use Federal Title money for the whole school. This is called a school-wide program. YES became eligible for this school-wide title program in 2010. This means that all children have access to academic support as needed and determined by staff.
As a part of the Title I Nebraska State Regulations, the school district will hold an annual public meeting for parents of all children who participate in the Title I program.
You are invited to attend a public meeting at the District Office on the east side of the high school campus on Monday, May 7, 2018, at 4:00 p.m. The Title I program will be explained and discussed at this meeting and I will attempt to answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Mike Lucas, Superintendent [email protected]

Classroom Happenings….
Kindergarten Corner….Spring is here and we are continuing to blossom in kindergarten.
We are busy practicing all 68 kindergarten sight words and blending words to read. We are also building fluency for adding and subtracting and teen numbers. Looking toward the end of the year, some upcoming events are: *May 4-Field trip to the Lincoln Children's Museum and Antelope Park.*May 16-End of the Year Picnic*May 17-Kindergarten Graduation at 2pm*May 18-Last Day of SchoolAs kindergarten teachers we want to say thank you to all of our fabulous families. It has been a special year that we will never forget and we are thankful for the time we got to spend with your children. As summer begins, we want to encourage all of you to visit Kilgore Memorial Library and participate in their summer reading program. Keep learning and reading and make sure to come back and visit YES Kindergarten ANYTIME!
Second Grade Snippets….
We are wrapping up the school year quickly here in second grade! Our final science unit is all about magnets, where the students will get to perform lots of cool experiments. Even though our school year is coming to a close, we strongly encourage the students to keep reading dur-ing the summer so they are ready to go in third grade. There are great programs happening at Kilgore Memorial Library and the school is offering a summer BOOST program. Also, practic-ing those math facts would be a great idea over the summer. Maybe they could even make a game out of it while at the pool or playing outside with sidewalk chalk? *Important dates*Friday, May 11th- 2nd grade field trip to Hastings Museum Monday, May 14th- class picnic Friday, May 18th- Jump Up Day
For all students requiring transportation during the 2018-2019 school year:
Registering your child or children is a yearly responsibility and all who ride MUST register.
Routes for over 500 students, including stops and times, are designed
based on the
information we receive by the deadline. Please fill out and return to
your child’s school* no later than July 27, 2018. Any registration received
after this deadline will not be eligible for or receive transportation during the
first week of school. Please note that ALL school registration nights are after this date and those
who choose to register at Back to School night will not be eligible to ride until August 22rd.
For those that pre – register: Stop information will be printed on a bright blue card that will be placed in your child’s Back to School folder or packet. This card is for you to keep. If you receive a bright blue card in your packet, you will NOT need to stop at the Transportation Department table on Back to School night. On the first day of school, color cards will be handed out to all students K – 12 who registered prior to the deadline. This card displays your child’s name, teacher or building, and stop location.
Any student not possessing a bus card will not receive transportation and will be sent back into their school and allowed to call their parent. Any registrations received after July 27th, will be contacted by the Transportation Department and informed of their start date. If you have any questions, the Transportation Department can be reached at 402-362-1988. Thank you for joining us in our efforts to make the first days of school run smoothly at route times. *Registrations turned in after the last day of school may be sent to the District Office:
York Public Schools Attn: Transportation Dept.
It is the policy of York Public Schools not to discriminate on the basis of gender, disability, race, color,
religion, marital status, age, or national origin in its educational programs, administration, policies,
employment, or other district programs.
Summer Reminders and Safety
Summer is a great time to schedule those well-child check-ups, eye exams, and dental checks.
Also, do you have or know an incoming kindergartener? Let’s get those kindergarten shots!
Kindergarteners will need a booster of DTAP, which is a combination of Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis,
a Polio booster, the second MMR, which is a combination of Measles, Mumps and Rubella and the second
Varicella, or chicken pox. You may call Home Care Plus Immunization Clinic directly at 402-362-2566 to
discuss what your student may need and make that appointment. Please have everything done and ready
to turn in on back-to-school night.
Does your child have a chronic illness, Asthma, severe allergies or seizures? Please be certain
you contact your school nurse at your school’s open house. We, as your school nurses, need to have
medical plans in place to keep your child safe at school.
You will also be receiving a health history to be completed prior to the first day of school. We
would like these forms completed fully so that we know what medication your child may be on, what health
conditions affect your child and any other information you think we should know so that we can keep your
child as safe and healthy as possible. Even if your child does not take his/her medication at school, it is
important that we have a listing of what your student is on, so that we can be aware of any potential side
effects of their medication.
You can help keep your kids healthy while they enjoy summer fun! Kids like to dive in to summer to
relax, unwind and have fun. Warm weather brings more opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Here are
some ways to stay safe while indoors and outdoors:
Master water safety!
Swimming and other water activities are excellent ways to get the physical activity and health benefits
needed for a healthy life. Get the most from these activities while helping everyone stay safe and healthy.
Always be certain that children are properly supervised around water and wear life jackets when boating.
Take an evening to learn CPR or refresh your CPR skills. Always remember to liberally apply sunscreen
when outside and make sure you are refreshing it often.
Beat the Heat!
Watch out for the heat; the best defense for heat is prevention. Take advantage of early morning and
evenings to do your lawn work; outside exercise and any other strenuous outside activities. Make sure you
are educated on the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Be safe at home and at play!
Play it safe on the playground. Learn what to do if a concussion occurs. A concussion is a type of traumatic
brain injury caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works.
Let’s remember to always wear helmets, when appropriate!
Please enjoy this time to relax, unwind, reconnect with your family and have fun!
