Greetings YASD families! Our schools will be closed tomorrow, Monday, November 11 in honor of Veterans Day. Please take a moment to reflect on the gift we have of living in this great country because of others’ services and sacrifices. We would also like to send a heartfelt message of gratitude to our own Veterans, Ginger Flaumenhaft (US Navy) and Gena Hatfield (US Air Force ). Thank you both for serving our country and for your courage, selflessness and sacrifice in serving our country. We love and appreciate you both very much.

I received this message from a colleague and wanted to send it out to our parents in the event you would like to attend: Nicole Kuck is coming up from Phoenix to help parents plan for their child’s future. She will be discussing topics like guardianship, government benefits, special needs trusts and much, much more. Anyone interested will need to register for this special event since space is limited. They can register at the link on the flyer or directly here: https://forms.gle/59ZytiLcjy2d1ugj9 The program will be offered virtually for those who are not able to make the drive to Cottonwood. We would like those individuals to register as well so we can admit them to the Zoom meeting

reetings YASD families. The internet outage at YASD will continue into today, Wednesday, September 18th. We will have very limited access to another server allowing only a handful of students with no internet access at home to work at the Aspire campus. There will be no internet access at YCHS at all. However, students who wish to work from home may do so without being counted absent. We will track student progress on Edgenuity and students who work during their normal school hours will be counted present. Teachers and staff will be available at all locations despite internet access and students are still welcome to attend in person if they choose. The Transition program is not affected by this outage and will be business as usual there. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello, families! On Monday, each student will bring home a brightly-colored progress report. We call these "paychecks" and use these reports to reward students for good behavior and hard work. We expect every student to get these papers signed by a guardian and returned on Tuesday. If you do not receive one, or if you have questions, please contact the school or any teacher directly. This will continue every Monday through the entire school year.

Greetings YASD Families, We are already experiencing a very high rate of student absences and tardies. Please be aware that anytime a student is late or leaves early, the state requires that we count them absent for that session. Most schools have 6 periods so if students are absent 1st hour, they are counted absent for only that period. Because we only have 2 sessions on our campus, anytime a student is late or leaves early during each session, they are considered absent ffor that session. Students are only allowed 10 absences before they have to restart their classes. If your student is late 4 times, this results in 2 days absent. They add up quickly! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
