Yale Schools had an amazing first 2 days of school. We would like to thank all parents, students, and staff for all of their understanding, flexibility, and compassion as we navigate the start of school. Working together will allow us to best meet our students needs
High school volleyball today at home at 5:00. Face coverings are required for admittance. Gate is $4.00 for adults and $3.00 for students and seniors. Come support our Lady Bulldogs!!
Yale JH/HS is excited to welcome our students back to the building tomorrow morning. We want to make sure that students in grades 6-12 know to wear a face covering, bring their own water bottles or cups with screw on lids, all students must have their temperature taken before entering the building, and that the tardy bell rings at 7:50 in the morning. Let’s make the most of our opportunities!!
Yale Elementary - We are so excited for school to start tomorrow. While there are lots of changes, we are trying to make adjustments for an enjoyable school year. At this time, only staff and students will be allowed into the building, even with a mask we are asking that parents do not enter the building in the morning. We understand that this will be more difficult for Pre-K and K students, so we have opened those outside classroom doors to allow parents to "walk them to class." Unfortunately, we are unable to provide that for all other classes, so 1st-5th grade students must enter through the gym doors. Please feel free to walk them to that outside door. Take a look at our map for a helpful guide for drop-offs in the morning. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Dear Yale community,
As we approach the beginning of school on Thursday, August 13, we would like to send out a quick reminder. At this time, only students and staff will be allowed to enter the elementary and JH/HS buildings. All students, staff, and visitors will be required to wear a face covering when on school property. This will include attending home indoor athletic activities. Thank you for your cooperation.

On Tuesday, August 11th from 5:00-7:00, Yale Junior/ Senior High School would like to provide an opportunity for all incoming 6th grade students and any new students in grades 7-12 to come take a short tour of the campus. Tours will be set up on 10 minute intervals, so scheduling in advance is needed. Please call Mr. Kennedy at 918-387-2118 to set up your appointment/tour.
As we return to school, here are our new 2020-2021 Guidelines for Yale Public Schools. We ask that if you have questions or concerns you reach out to us.
Tonight, the YPS Board of Education voted to require all employees and all students in grades 4th-12th to wear facecovers during school. This was not an easily made decision. Much debate and deliberation occured; however, we believe this is the safest way to return to in-person instruction. It is important for the school and community to work hand-in-hand as we send our children back to school.
We hope that enrollment has gone smoothly for everyone! As the start day of school approaches and your family has made the decision on what school will look like for you: tradition or virtual, please enroll online for either option. Once enrolled , contact Mr. Kennedy via email : rkennedy@yale.k12.ok.us to let him know if your 6th-12th grade student has choosen to go virtual. If your student is in grades PK- 5th and decided to use our virtual platform, please contact Mrs. Nickell via email: enickell@yale.k12.ok.us. As always, we can answer any questions you may have by reaching out to us.
A lunch application and letter, along with a self addressed envelope is being mailed out today and tomorrow (July 30, 31, 2020). Please complete the lunch application and return to the Central office located in the high school. You may complete the application online, but will need to print and bring to school.
