A Note from the Principal

Dear Parents/ Guardians,

It is hard to believe we are already in November! This month, we look forward to our Fun Run on November 6th. We certainly appreciate everyone's support in helping to raise money for our school. We also honor our military families and service members (don't forget to wear red, white, and/ or blue on Nov. 10th!). Looking ahead, please mark your December calendar as our FAST PM2 assessments are scheduled for most students on December 1st (ELA) and December 8th (Math). We are excited to see the growth our students are making!

As the holidays approach, I wish everyone a relaxing Thanksgiving break with friends and family. It is truly a blessing to serve our Y.E.S. families each and every day!

Parent Lunch Visits

We love having families join us for lunch! To help maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all students, parents and guests may enjoy lunch with their own child at the parent lunch table. Other students are not permitted to join the parent lunch table during this time.


Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us provide a positive lunch experience for everyone.

Boosterthon Fun Run is Live!

This year's Fun Run is scheduled to take place on November 6th. We will have started collecting donations. Register at Mybooster.com If we get 50% of our students registered we will have a water run! If we meet our $25,000 goal, all students will turn Ms. Hays and Ms. Porter into human sundaes! Thank you for your help raising funds to support Yulee Elementary!

Colorful educational poster titled "EVERY DAY COUNTS! Attendance Matters." The poster explains the importance of school attendance through bright graphics, icons, and illustrations. A section labeled "Did You Know?" states that missing 2 days a month can add up to 18 days of learning missed in one school year. Another section explains that when students attend regularly, students can learn new skills, build friendships, join activities, and grow confidence. A section titled "Why Attendance Matters" highlights opportunities to learn something new, strengthen relationships, reach goals, and be part of the school community. A family-focused section encourages consistent bedtime routines, arriving at school on time, scheduling appointments outside school hours when possible, and maintaining a positive attitude about school. The bottom of the poster features four students with backpacks, a school bus, and a school building alongside the message "Attend Today, Achieve Tomorrow! Every student. Every lesson. Every day matters!" The footer reads "Be Here. Be Ready. Be Successful."

November Resiliency Trait- Gratitude November Resiliency Trait- Gratitude

Infographic titled “GRATITUDE: Parent Resource” for Grades 3–5. The poster explains gratitude as being thankful and sharing appreciation with others. It states that teaching children to be grateful helps them focus on positive aspects of life and fosters kindness. A section explains that students in grades three through five begin or continue recognizing and being thankful for meaningful friendships and relationships and showing respect when working with others. The infographic provides ways families can help children practice gratitude, including sharing why they are grateful and encouraging children to express gratitude toward others. An example suggests teaching children to use kind words, give authentic compliments, and offer assistance to others. A sidebar titled “Skills to Consider Practicing with Your Child” recommends identifying three favorite things about the family and demonstrating gratitude through words and actions, especially during difficult situations. An “Activity for You and Your Child” section suggests creating a gratitude jar by writing daily reasons to be thankful on slips of paper and adding them to a decorated jar over time. The bottom of the poster includes a photograph of a child holding books and a message stating that learning to foster and express gratitude can help strengthen relationships, build character, and improve resiliency. The Resiliency Florida logo appears in the lower left corner.
