The B.Y.E. Buzz

Thank you for attending our parent night this week. We LOVE to share about Young Elementary and all the fabulous things that are happening. Please let us know if you have questions. The report to the public presentation is shared below. Conference nights are coming this month. This provides another opportunity for you to find out what your child is learning at school and how to help at home. Save the day for Sept 16-17.

Just a reminder that student chromebook insurance is only available the beginning of the school year. Every student has a device and insurance is only $20. If a screen or keyboard gets broken by the student, it reduces the fee from $60 to only $10. Click the link to purchase chromebook insurance:

Help us out! If your child is changing how they are getting home, please notify the office before 2:00 (1:00 on Wednesday). We can't change how a child gets home based on what they say. Thanks!

We had some kids break into the pre-k shed over the weekend. We want to share our playground with the community and the neighbors of Harber Meadows but also can't keep replacing items that are damaged or missing. If you ever see children, teens, or adults vandalizing our playground after school or weekend hours, please call the non-emergency police number at 479-751-4542. It is helpful that we have cameras on the property so we are able to contact these individuals.

Spirit day Friday to celebrate the first home Razorback game of the season. Wear Razorback, red, or gear from your favorite football team!

Parents, if you have received a letter or text regarding deficient vaccines for your student, please consider using one of our School Based Health Clinics (SBHC) to get them back on track!

You can call each clinic site directly or text #CCSpringale to schedule at appt at 855-438-2280.

"Hello Yellowjacket Families! With conferences approaching the week of September 16th, our amazing teachers are hard at work and putting in more hours than normal. We need your help to "Stock Their Lounge"!!! Please take a look at this Walmart Registry with several of their favorite treats.

If you feel so inclined to grab an extra snack or k-cups with your grocery order, your generosity will be greatly appreciated and not go unnoticed. If you purchase off this Walmart registry, items will be shipped directly to the school. Making a Sam's Club run this weekend and see something from the "favorites list" in bulk?? Please feel free to grab it, and you can just drop it off at the school during pick up/drop off. Just let the teacher know it is for 'Stock The Lounge."

Thank you so much for your consideration & continued support! It takes a village to make BYE the BEST school around. We are so blessed to have you ALL in our school family!

-BYE PTA
