Temperatures have improved and helped some road conditions; however, many roads are still not safe for our bus routes.
Yale Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 29, due to weather. We were already scheduled to be out of school on Friday, January 30.
These two snow days will be made up on Fridays when the weather forecast allows.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay safe.
Blue and gold fundraiser sales will be extended to next Wednesday Feb 4.
Due to road conditions, Yale Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, January 28, for a traditional snow day. We are hopeful that conditions will improve enough to allow in-person classes on Thursday and Friday, January 29 and 30. We will continue to monitor road conditions and provide updates as needed. We hope everyone is staying safe and warm.
The high school basketball tournament has been canceled. Extracurricular activities are expected to resume once we return to in-person classes.
Virtual day schedule
Yale Public Schools will be virtual on Monday and Tuesday, January 26–27. All extra-curricular activities scheduled for Monday and Tuesday will be postponed.
We will reevaluate conditions closer to Wednesday and share an update as soon as possible.
Teachers will hold Google Meet sessions and review previously taught standards. We expect all students to participate to the best of their ability. Any students who are unable to participate will receive the work upon returning to class.
Calling all future 26-27 cheerleaders!

YPS is certainly monitoring the incoming weather. As a precaution, the elementary has sent home some additional work for a possible virtual day on Monday.

If a virtual day is used, all staff will use their virtual platforms to make contact and instruct students.
