YCSDigest - August 5, 2021Posted on: Thursday, August 05, 2021Last night, the School Board of York County voted to make masks optional for all students and staff while inside YCSD buildings when school begins on August 30. Masks will still be required for students and staff while on school buses, in accordance with federal requirements. |
YCSDigest - July 29, 2021Posted on: Thursday, July 29, 2021The York County School Division is finalizing plans to welcome all students back to school on Monday, August 30. Over the last two weeks, a team of division and school administrators, teachers and staff have been reviewing the new state and federal guidance for use of masks in K-12 schools to develop a recommendation to the superintendent and School Board. |
New Childcare OpportunityPosted on: Tuesday, June 29, 2021The York County School Division has long recognized the importance of ensuring families have access to high quality childcare when students are not in school. We are pleased to share that the division will be awarding a new contract for childcare provided at our elementary schools. |
YCSDigest - June 4, 2021Posted on: Friday, June 04, 2021All devices, including hotspots, provided to YCSD students, will be collected in the next few weeks. Each school will establish specific processes and dates for collecting student devices and will share that information directly with families. Additionally, two central locations and dates have also been established for Virtual Academy students and families who will need the device through the end of the school year and/or summer instructional programs. |
YCSDigest - May 20, 2021Posted on: Thursday, May 20, 2021This past weekend, Governor Northam announced that the state would ease all distancing and capacity restrictions on Friday, May 28. As the division’s graduation plans were developed prior to this announcement, we reconvened the committee of students, parents, staff, and school and division administrators to reevaluate the criteria used to select our commencement venue. |
YCSDigest - May 10, 2021Posted on: Monday, May 10, 2021Registration for the 2021-22 school year is now underway! Families are encouraged to complete an online pre-registration form as soon as possible to streamline the full registration process. To assist families with pre-registration, the division’s community engagement bus will be at various locations in May and June. Families can visit any location to receive help completing required forms, have questions answered, and received additional information and materials from the school division and community partners. |
YCSDigest - April 26, 2021Posted on: Monday, April 26, 2021Governor Northam has amended the executive order limiting attendance at outdoor graduation ceremonies. Therefore, we are pleased to share that graduates will now receive eight (8) tickets for the commencement ceremonies in June. Spectators will still need to adhere to all mitigation strategies and state requirements in place the day of the ceremonies. |
YCSDigest - April 16, 2021Posted on: Friday, April 16, 2021Graduation ceremonies represent both the finish line of a student’s K-12 academic career and the start of their future. After more than a year of navigating the course of COVID-19, it seems fitting that the BHS, GHS, THS and YHS Classes of 2021 will celebrate graduation at the Start/Finish line of the Langley Speedway on June 14 and 15, and will take place rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, such as thunder and lightning, June 16 and June 17 will serve as the alternate dates (detailed schedule provided below). The York River Academy ceremony will take place at Yorktown Middle School at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 16. |
YCSDigest - March 22, 2021Posted on: Monday, March 22, 2021As the division prepares for the Expanded Hybrid Model to begin on March 29, we ask our staff and families to help support these efforts by continuing to conduct Daily Health Screenings before coming to work, school, or practice. Additionally, as families are still encouraged to drive and carpool to school to help support distancing on buses, please be prepared for higher traffic volume near schools during arrival and dismissal times. |
YCSDigest - March 17, 2021Posted on: Wednesday, March 17, 2021The York County School Division is finalizing plans to move beyond the current Hybrid Model to a more traditional school schedule. In the Expanded Hybrid Model, eligible students enrolled in the Flexible Framework will attend school, in-person, four days a week. Students enrolled in the YCSD Virtual Academy will remain virtual and will continue to follow their existing schedules. |
