York High School Weekly Memo

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are having a great week! It was definitely a scorcher this week, and it truly felt like summer, but we do have a few more weeks to go before we can officially kick off vacation.

Last Saturday night, we had the most wonderful time at the prom. The weather was gorgeous, the venue was beautiful, and our kids were great. The hard work and dedication from the junior class advisors, Courtney Dold, Paul O’Brien, and Bill True, made the event so successful.

We are officially kicking off our end-of-year celebrations next Thursday evening with our Underclass Awards Night. If your student is receiving an award, you would have received an invitation in the mail this week (and they received an email). This is a great event to recognize our students in grades 9-11. Next Friday (one week from tomorrow) is the last full day of school for our seniors, and graduation is only 22 days away. Today was a BIG DAY as I signed all of the diplomas for the Class of 2026!

Please take a few minutes to fill out this SURVEY regarding the York School Department's Title Grant Funding. Your opinion matters!!

Science Wing construction begins on Tuesday! We are thrilled that we are going to have seven updated science classrooms for the 26-27 school year. But, in order for this project to be completed on time, we need to begin the renovation on the first floor next week. Students who take the bus will still be dropped off and picked up at the bus loop, but they will enter and exit the building through the main office (the science wing doors will be blocked off). Thank you to the community for supporting these classrooms and to our science teachers for their end-of-year flexibility.

Enjoy the rest of your week, and as always, if you need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks,

Amanda

Here is the schedule for our underclass final exams (grades 9-11). Students will get more information from their classroom teachers regarding assessments. Our buses will run at regular times, and students do not need to attend study halls.

Chromebook Returns

This is the first year York High School has had one-to-one Chromebooks, and the first year we will have to set up returns. All students were issued a Chromebook, a charger, and a case. All of these need to be returned before summer break.

Senior Deadline: June 1

If a student needs their device for exams, they can have an extension.
No student can participate in marching practice if they have not returned (or paid for) their technology.

Underclass Deadline: June 15

If a student needs their device for exams, they can have an extension.
If technology has not been returned before the last day of school (June 18), then a bill will be sent.

All students can return their Chromebook, charger, and case to their Pride leader.
