Due to the weather forecast for the remainder of this week, the YES Bike/Walk to School Day has been moved to the morning of Monday, May 8th.

Yarmouth School Department buses 6 & 12 will be running later than usual this morning due to road conditions in isolated areas. Some areas of Princes Point and Baywood Lane are inaccessible at this time.

We'd like to thank the second grade team for hosting our Community Meeting today! To celebrate the 100th day of school, we aimed to donate 100 pairs of socks to our neighbors in need. Thanks to the dedication of our staff and students, we've exceeded that goal! Mrs. Gautreau shared that in the last 7 years, YES has donated over 5,000 pairs of socks to people who need them in our area.

As part of the Healthy Heart Challenge, YES welcomed the Spindrifters from South Bristol yesterday. This is an incredible group of 4th-8th graders who are expert jump ropers! Our students had a blast watching the performance. Thank you to Ms. Pachuta, for helping to plan this fun event!

Fifth grade students have been learning all about conduction and circuit boards in STEAM this week!

Last week, we celebrated our young musicians with a terrific 4th and 5th grade band, orff ensemble, and chorus concert. We'd like to thank Mrs. Troy and Mrs. Witherell-Stebbins for their dedication and hard work!

Congratulations to Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Landry! We'd also like to thank the YEF for funding this grant that will boost our science programming. We are so excited to see our new microscopes in action!

Update: with rerouting, Bus #8 may only be 5 minutes behind schedule this morning. We encourage riders to be ready at the regular time, and to be patient as we plug this gap in our services. Thank you.

Due to a driver shortage, Yarmouth Bus #8 will be approximately 15 minutes behind schedule during the morning pick-up today (Monday, 12/5). Thank you for your patience.

Fourth graders got to learn some sea shanty songs, listen to music, and learn about life on the sea many years ago!
