The York County School Division believes having active, involved and informed parents and families is critical to our students’ success. Because effective communication is critical to strong partnerships and engagement, we provide a variety of ways to communicate and engage with our community.
EngagedIN YCSD
One of the primary responsibilities of a school system is to prepare students for their future. After all, today's students are the computer experts, contractors, doctors, educators, entrepreneurs, and employees of tomorrow.
The EngagedIN YCSD program connects interested parents, community members, and businesses with schools and students to share their career experiences or expertise with students.
There are multiple ways for individuals (working or retired) and businesses to help YCSD students make these Career Connections. To become involved, simply complete the EngagedIN form to share contact information, career field info, engagement interests, and availability.

Contact Information
It is very important that families provide schools with current home address, home phone number and email address (if exists) to ensure schools can reach you with important information. Student contact forms will be provided to all families at the start of the school year and should be returned immediately.
Emergency Notification
Families will be notified of emergencies through the division’s rapid notification system. Families are encouraged to remain close to their source of communication, whether it is phone or email, to ensure they are receiving accurate and timely updates on the emergency from school division staff.
Social Media Directory
In addition to the York County School Division website, we work to keep our community information through multiple online platforms. Below is a list of the various accounts currently in use, so you Like Us and Follow Us for the latest news & information! School groups and programs may also have additional accounts, be sure to look for them.

Families can also access private student information online through the Aspen Family Portal. This secure web-based information management system is password-protected and will help to make communication among students, families, teachers, and administrators more efficient. Families can use the Aspen Family Portal to view student schedules, assignments and grades, as well as daily attendance records and family contact information.
