Hello Clipper Community:
It is hard to believe we are already half-way through the first quarter! You will be receiving an email on Wednesday afternoon letting you know that student progress reports are available in Powerschool. This note contains a number of other important reminders and upcoming dates. But I also want to let you know I continue to be so pleased with the beginning of our school year. There is a definite rhythm developing; one of energy and enthusiasm that we are back in what feels like a more typical academic and co-curricular experience at YHS. As Ms. Bongard and I have been in classrooms this month, we have seen so many engaging learning and team-building activities.
Thank you again for your support and interest in your student’s education. As always, if there are questions or concerns or positives you would like to share please feel free to contact us.
Regards,
Patrick Hartnett
Principal
