YARMOUTH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

All four Yarmouth schools have received the Let’s Go! Smarter Lunchroom recognition for 2019. This program honors school lunchrooms that are implementing best practices that reduce waste and increase participation, nudging students to make healthier choices.

Please remind your friends and neighbors it is illegal, and dangerous, to pass a stopped school bus with its flashing lights on.

Yarmouth's 2019-2020 School Budget passed by a wide margin (71%-29%) at yesterday's referendum. Thank you to all who voted!

Please remember to VOTE today (Tuesday, June 11) in Yarmouth at the Boyd AmVets Hall. Polls are open now and will remain open until 8:00 p.m. Thank you!

Significant traffic jam on I-295 is causing buses returning from field trips to be late for the afternoon pick-up at our schools. Your child may be late arriving home from school today, Friday. Schools will have more information as the afternoon progresses.

Please vote on the School Budget at tonight's Town Meeting. 7:00 p.m. at YPAC, Tuesday - June 4.
