All YASD schools will be closed today, February 7, 2024 due to various weather conditions in our area. Since we serve the entire Tri-City area, we understand that road conditions vary significantly based on where each family resides. Because most Prescott and Prescott Valley area schools have canceled, YASD will also cancel today, February 7, 2024. Please stay safe.

Greeting YASD families! Several students have already missed 3 or 4 school days since returning from break. This means they have already missed half or more of the days we have been in school this semester. Please be reminded that students are only allowed 10 absences before they risk losing all credit for the semester - even if the class has already been completed. We will be focusing on increased attendance rates significantly this semester so please do not regret your decisions to not come to school! Dr. Burns
Greetings YASD families! This is a reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Monday, January 15th, in honor and celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Please see the announcement sent last Thursday to learn about how our students can participate in this National Day of Service. We will see you on Tuesday!
YASD families, In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service on 1/15/24, we are encouraging each student to take part in serving their community by volunteering for a minimum of 4 hours. Volunteering promotes stronger communities by performing selfless acts of service for others. Volunteer services can be completed for adult family members, organizations, and neighbors. If students complete 4 hours of volunteer work, they should get the attached log sheet signed and provide a photo with the person they performed service for. Upon turning in the log sheet and photo, students will be invited to a school celebration. All photos should be sent to khobson@yavapaicountyhs.org.
Greeting YASD families. Roads around our area are currently and very quickly became very slippery. Please take extra time to arrive to school safely. We would prefer you were late and safe than rushing and unsafe. Thank you!
Dear YCHS students and families - Due to increased classroom behavior challenges, YCHS has experienced a significant change in the seating chart that will begin tomorrow. The classroom is arranged completely differently and we wanted to give you a heads up of these changes. Students at YCHS should expect to be given direction of their assigned seat upon arrival. These assignments will not change until staff determines the need and/or student behaviors improve. Thank you!
Greetings YASD families. This is a reminder that students who are chronically late or absent may be face receiving no credit or resetting of their classes, even if those classes have been completed before the absence violations occurred. Students missing 10 or more days without providing formal absence excuses (such doctor's notes), will be placed on academic probation and may not receive credit for classes. Please note that excessive tardies and early check outs also contribute to absences and will count against the student's allowable days. Because student school days are already only 5 hours per day, good attendance is crucial to their success. Thank you for your cooperation.
Last semester proved very difficult for dress code violations. As a result, students who are found in violation of dress code will either be given school-issued clothing or be sent home. According to our handbook: This includes advertising, promotion or pictures of alcoholic beverages, tobacco, drugs or illegal substances, sexual or violent behavior, or any other illegal items and revealing “tops” due to length, texture, straps or lack of coverage are not allowed. This includes halter, cropped, or short tops (bare midriff), tops off the shoulders, strapless tops, netting, spandex, and tops that are open on the sides and back. Thank you for your cooperation. See handbook for more details.
Greetings YASD families! We hope you had a fantastic break! School will resume this Monday, January 8th. Please be aware that we will concentrate heavily on dress code violations and attendance in this upcoming semester! More detailed messages about each topic will be sent out very soon. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again! Have a safe an enjoyable weekend. We will see you on Monday, January 8th! It will be a great day!!!
We will see you again on Monday, January 8th! Have a relaxing break!
Greetings YASD families! Today marked the final day of the first semester and the last day of school before winter break. On behalf and of the YASD staff, we hope your holidays and break is wonderful! We will see you
Greetings YASD families, Our YCHS campus experienced a lockdown this afternoon just before morning session dismissal. An gentleman who we did not recognize attempted to enter the classroom. While staff assessed the situation, a temporary lockdown was put in place and 911 was called. It was later determined this man was a student's guardian and our students were safe so the lockdown was lifted. There was no immediate threat to our students. Our schools have specific safety protocol in place, which includes not allowing unknown individuals access to our classrooms. Parents must identify themselves upon arrival. Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping your children safe.
We are sending out a heartfelt THANK YOU to the parents of our YASD students for your constant support and collaboration in our team effort to ensure our schools and classrooms are productive and safe for our students. The holiday season always brings about increased minor behavior issues in our students. This year parents have been the most supportive we have ever seen and experienced. THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping be part of the solution. It takes a village and we are so blessed.
Greetings students and staff. We have recently been having issues with students with significant dress code violations. Please remember that clothing with inappropriate language and pictures are not acceptable. In addition, low cut tops, tank tops and short skirts are also not acceptable. Students who violate dress code will be asked to wear our school-issued clothing to ensure they fall back in compliance with our dress code policies. Students may also face disciplinary action if they are found in violation. These guidelines and policies can be found in our handbook on our school website at www.yasd99.com and in the Arizona School Board Association Policy Bridge website. Thank you for your cooperation!
