th YHS Y-LINE: WEEK OF MAY 6 B-Week Early Dismissal – May 10 AP/SOL REMEDIATION OPPORTUNITIES For remediation opportunities to help you SOAR to SUCCESS please visit the York High site and click the first link under Headlines. http://yorkcountyschools.org/YHS AEP REMEDIATION LETTER We are quickly approaching the SOL testing that takes place each May. As we are preparing in classrooms, we find that many students benefit from additional help outside of the regular class block. We will be offering several opportunities outside of the classroom, which are outlined below. After School Remediation and Saturday Slam are open to all students. Academic Enrichment Period (AEP) students have already been assigned, however, we can add students if requested. Teachers have carefully hand-chosen students they feel would benefit from this extra remediation and a small group teaching/learning atmosphere. AEP AEP will begin on April 29th and run each day until May 17th. The change in the schedule will be for ALL students regardless of participation in the AEP remediation. Below you will see the daily schedule: Saturday Slam Saturday Slam will be held on May 18th from 8:30-11:30 with three 55 minute sessions. Students will be able to sign-up for Saturday Slam in the library starting on Monday, April 29th. The sign-up is for planning purposes. We will be running two buses for pickup and drop off that morning and you will find the schedule below. Locations of each subject will be given to students on Saturday morning. Light snacks will be provided. Bus Schedule Route 1 - North Route 2 - South Stops: 7:45 am Leigh & Walnut Stops: 7:30 am Dare Elementary School 7:48 am Leigh & Walnut (both ends) 7:45 am Seaford Elementary School 7:58 am Woods of Yorktown 7:55 am YC REC Services Building 8:03 am Charles Brown Park 8:05 am Clairmont Apartments May 18th Saturday Slam Schedule After School Remediation Remediation will be held on most Tuesday’s and Thursday’s from 2:15-3:15.

SCA DRIVE TO HELP HOMELESS WOMEN One of the largest needs for homeless women in the country is access to feminine hygiene products due to its high expense. This is why York High’s SCA will have a feminine hygiene product drive April 29th-May 3rd to help homeless women in Virginia. There will be a donation box in the library where students can drop off boxes with feminine hygiene products, such as: pads, tampons, and menstrual cups. Please keep in mind these products must be individually sealed. We will donate these products to local homeless shelters for women, such as The Natasha House and I Support the Girls (an organization which sends these products to shelters), as well as York High’s Comfort Closet for homeless teens in our school. SENIORS: COMMUNITY SERVICE LOGS, COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE & SCHOLARSHIP LETTERS Seniors: Please remember your community service logs are due. See your school counselor if you have any questions. Also remember to bring your college acceptance and scholarship letters to the school counseling office. MU ALPHA THETA Seniors: Cords are for sale starting May 6-May 31. Please stop by room 106 before school, after school or during 1B or 3B to purchase a cord. Please bring exact change of $7 or a check made out to YHS. New Inductees: Our induction ceremony for all new Mu Alpha Theta members will be May 29 at 2:15 in the YHS library. Family members are encouraged to attend as well as faculty. ATTENDANCE There is a significant relationship between student attendance and student achievement. We want students to be successful at York High School and in order to achieve that goal, we need your student to attend school and be on time every day unless they are ill. If your student is ill, please send in a note or email our attendance secretary, Allison Martinez at [email protected] within 24 hours. Legitimate reasons for absences are illness, death in immediate family, doctor or dental appointment (not possible to be scheduled on non-school time), and or exceptional circumstances as determined by the building principal. Absences occurring on those pre-determined test dates should be avoided and will only be considered excused under extreme extenuating circumstances. For any other reason, the absence is unexcused. If the student accumulates excessive (10 or more) absences, a physician’s note may be required. (YCSD Student Handbook, page 1) GET A JUMP ON ENROLLMENT AT TNCC!
