Families,

we are excited to take flight and ascend as we work to accelerate our socio-emotional and academic growth achievement in Quarter 3. Please be sure to speak with your student regularly about what they are learning in their classes and culture block, their growth goals, and their academic progress. Also, be sure to remind your students about the importance of meeting expectations so that we can focus on flying high on the wings of excellence, growth, and joy.

Reminders:

Doors open at 8:05 AM, and students are tardy after 8:30 AM. We offer morning Aspire if your students needs to arrive earlier.
Students must be in dress code and wear YES Prep Hobby outerwear.
High school students must put away personal tech (including earbuds/headphones) after the 8:25 AM bell. After this time, students using personal tech will earn a detention.

We are excited to continue to celebrate our Aviators for their excellence, growth, and joy! Shout out to all of the Aviators in the Stamina squad who won our Q2 competition. The Aviators in this squad won for earning points for attendance, behavior, squad competitions. and growth!

Read below for the individual students who earned a party today for Honor Roll and Perfect Attendance for Q2!

Don’t forget to check your student's Semester 1 report card, available on Skyward. Please reach out to our front office if you have any questions.

Lastly, it is Intent to Return season! This year, we have celebrated increased enrollment, and have the campus with the most students above our enrollment goal in YES Prep. In order to effectively plan for our Aviators for the 24-25 SY, we’ll need to know your intentions. Read below for direction on how to complete your Intent to Return. We’ll be back next week to communicate the incentives! Be sure you complete your Intent to Return by the deadline for you and your Aviator to be included in the treats.

Best,

Adrienne Brown

Intent to Return:

As we close out this school year we are excited to start planning for the 2024-2025 school year! All families will need to complete their annual intent to return survey in Skyward by 2/2 to share if they will be returning for next school year. If you are undecided still, there is an option in the survey to share more information. Please complete this survey ASAP so we can start planning for next school year! We will be doing a grade level competition and raffles for students who complete the survey on time.

College Field Trips:

We are excited to bring students on our annual college field trips. Each grade level will be visiting a college campus and having the opportunity to explore and learn more about it! More information will be coming in next week’s family notes on cost and specific requirements for the trip.

Perfect Attendance Winners for Q2:

A HUGE shout out to our Aviators with 100% attendance for Q2! Thank you for showing up each and every day to ensure we are ascending and flying high!
