YARMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Grade Five Math Team When students in Yarmouth reach fifth grade there are more school-based activities that become available to them. One of these opportunities is participation on the grade five math team! Fifth Grade Math Team Advisors Jay Harrington, Harrison Middle School Lead Math Teacher, and Crystal Found, Grade Six Math/Science Teacher Location: Practices are on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 pm at YES. The team will meet in room D211 which is located in the grade five classroom wing upstairs. Southern Maine Math League The Southern Maine Math League is an opportunity for teams of students in grades 5-8 to compete mathematically. Up to 30 teams from schools at each grade level from around southern Maine generally attend these meets throughout the school year. Individual students are recognized for high scores, and the top-scoring teams receive awards as well. Description: The focus of the YES Math Team is on fun, games, and learning new concepts in mathematics. The team competes in four meets during the year. Students who attend practice are eligible to go to the meets and compete with other schools in southern Maine. Who May Participate: Enrollment is open to any motivated student who enjoys working on and solving challenging mathematics problems. If your child is interested in participating they should plan to attend the first practice of the year which will be held on Thursday, September 29th. If you have questions about the fifth-grade math team please feel free to reach out to Mr. Harrington at jay_harrington@yarmouthschools.org or Mrs. Found at crystal_found@yarmouthschools.org.

Good morning. Yarmouth High School, Frank Harrison Middle School, and Yarmouth Elementary School are each without power at this time. Work crews are on site in Yarmouth to restore electricity soon, and schools are operating with some minor adjustments. We’ll let you know when power is restored. These outages have also disabled our phones and Internet. Thank you for your patience.
