Principal's Message

Hello Yowell Families, this is Mrs. Fiscus with your weekly update!


Thank you so much to everyone who came out for our STEM Night this past week. We hope you had the best time exploring, experimenting, and making memories together as a family. đź’™


We are excited to share that Yowell Elementary will be participating in a canned food drive to benefit the Community Christmas Basket program. Our drive begins Monday, November 24th, and runs through Friday, December 5th. If you are able, please send in non-perishable food items with your student. Thank you for helping us support families right here in our community. ❤️


And in the spirit of giving… Come out this December and give the gift of life. Yowell will be hosting an American Red Cross Blood Drive on Sunday, December 14th.


On December 16th from 5:30–6:30 p.m., Yowell staff will be hosting a Drive-Thru Winter Movie Scene! ❄️🎬 Our staff will be staged throughout the car rider loop dressed up as their favorite holiday movie characters/scenes. Drive through, give us a wave, enjoy the lights, the music, and we’ll even have a treat or two while supplies last. This is simply meant to be a fun, magical family night out — maybe you’ll look at festive houses afterward or crank up your favorite holiday playlist on the drive. No matter what you do, we hope to bring a little holiday magic to your family this season.


Finally, remember this is a short week due to the Thanksgiving holiday — we only have school on Monday and Tuesday. Please enjoy this time together as a family, and know that we are thankful for each one of you and the joy you bring to Yowell.


Have an amazing evening!
— Mrs. Fiscus

Transportation Information

In an effort to assist schools and parents with current information about bus changes, transportation has added a new item on their website called: Transportation - Morning Update. The direct link can be found here. Also, this is the direct link to transportation.

Parents of students Pre-K through Grade 3 are expected to meet their children at the bus stop. Failure to do so will result in the child(ren) being returned to school. Should you choose to allow your child(ren) to be dropped off without supervision in the afternoon, please fill out and return this document.

We will be posting departure times for buses each day to assist parents with receiving their child from the bus stop. Please check this document each afternoon.

If your student requires transportation assistance, call the Transportation Department at 540-825-5446 or email them at transportation@ccpsweb.org
