Principal's Message
Hello Yowell Families, this is Mrs. Fiscus with your weekly update!
We are so excited to be hosting our 3rd Annual Trick-or-Treat Night, and we need your help to make it a magical evening for our students! 🎃👻 We are looking for 13 more families to decorate a door area and pass out provided treats to our trick-or-treaters. This is always one of our favorite events — a safe, fun, and joy-filled night for families to come together. Each child who wants to receive treats must have a wristband. If you need a new form, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
This Thursday is our Fundraiser’s Day of Awesome during resource time — and it truly lives up to its name! It’s one of the funnest days of the year for our students, and we can’t wait to celebrate all of their hard work. 🎉
Also on Thursday, October 9th, Kindergarten is hosting a Spirit Night at Little Caesar’s from 4–7 p.m. — so that’s one meal this week you don’t have to plan for! 🍕
Finally, a quick reminder — this is a four-day week. Friday, October 10th is a Teacher Workday as we wrap up the first quarter of the school year.
Have an amazing evening!
Attention Musical Families!!
Hello Musical Families,
As we prepare for our upcoming production, we’re gathering costume supplies to help bring the show to life! We are fortunate that about one-third of the costumes needed are being recycled from our costume closet from previous shows. For the rest, we’ve created Amazon and Walmart wish lists with items we’ll need.
Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3K677PEYZFCZP?ref_=wl_share
Walmart Wish List: https://www.walmart.com/registry/TR/536d484f-49ce-4a14-b60c-18819c5c6d1e
This is truly just a wish list—it is not required that families purchase from it. With the $20 costume fee collected from each student, we will be putting those funds toward purchasing items on the list. The wish lists are simply there for anyone who is looking to donate beyond the fee and help us expand our costume closet for future productions.
Anything purchased from the wish lists will be considered a donation to Yowell Elementary School and will be added to our costume closet for future shows.
We are hoping to have all costume pieces gathered and ready by October 30th, so students can rehearse in costume leading up to the performances. If you are able to help, we ask that items be ordered or dropped off at the school by then.
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference and helps our students shine on stage. Thank you so much for your continued support—we couldn’t do this without you!
With gratitude,
Katherine Korona

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
School Resource Officer (SRO)
We are happy to have a School Resource Officer (SRO) this year at Yowell. You can contact Deputy Brandon Mack with any concerns you have with school safety or anything that would be related to criminal activity.
