Thank you to families that helped support Shop with a Cop and Springdale Police Dept. We had fun on our hat day and raised over $500 for Shop with a Cop program.


We hope you can join us at Slim Chickens on Tuesday night. Be sure to say you are from Young Elementary School.


Kindergarten, First, Second, and Third grades finished their ATLAS screener testing this week. We will receive scores in October. This information will be used to help inform our classroom instruction and intervention/extension groups. At student-parent conferences in October, you will receive a print out with your students' ATLAS portal code so you can access all of their screener, interim, and summative results.


Box Tops for Education has been around over 25 years and so has Young Elementary! Help us purchase supplies for classrooms by joining Box Tops on their app. It’s easy
to connect to your Wal-Mart account and then there is no work or scanning to do! Help us reach our $500 goal! See flyer below to set up your account.

A Note from the Nurse

Our nurse’s office could use extra clothes for students who have accidents, spills, or muddy play days. If you have gently used items your child has outgrown, please consider sending them in.

  • Boys youth pants/shorts (sizes YM, YL, YXL)

  • Girls leggings or soft pants (any youth size, no jeans please)

Thank you for helping us keep kids comfortable and cared for!
