New Information
We had a great first week with our students back at Young. Thank you for helping us get off to a fabulous start. There are a few families who have not completed the technology form. Students will begin using devices as a resource soon. Make sure you have completed this for your child.
If you need to change how your child will be going home from school, please call the office by 1:30pm so we can get the message to your child's teacher. Another option is to email Stephanie Mounce (smounce@sdale.org) and the teacher in the same email.
Save the Date! We will have a parent meeting to let you know what your child will be learning this year. August 31st at 5:30 and 6:00. See you there!
Do you qualify for free or reduced lunch? Please complete the quick application below to check. When students qualify, it helps us more than just a student getting a lunch for free. This program helps to fund school resource officers and nurses too! You can find the form below. If you prefer a paper copy. Please let the office know.
Lunch Choices
Students in Grades 1-5 will have two lunch choices. Kindergarten will begin the year with one choice. It is highlighted.
