Weekly Memo
Some thoughts for the starting school year
Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are having a great week. It is crazy to think that we are finishing up Quarter 2 tomorrow and midterms start on Tuesday. Just a reminder that students do not need to attend a study hall, but they do need to attend Academic Service blocks. If you have specific questions regarding midterms, please reach out to the classroom teacher.
Congratulations to this week's Seacoast Student of the Week: Ian Scarponi! Each week, we nominate a student from York High School to be featured in the Seacoast Online. Here is what we said about Ian:
As a 10th-grader, Ian excels academically in all his classes, consistently demonstrating a strong commitment to his rigorous schedule of studies. In addition to his academic achievements, he recently became a peer tutor, showcasing his kind and helpful nature to support his classmates in their learning journey. Ian is also a year-round athlete, participating in golf, basketball, and baseball, where he exemplifies teamwork and dedication. His positive attitude and willingness to lend a hand make him a valued member of our school community.
Stay tuned to see who our Student of the Week is next week!!
As always, if you need anything or have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to Liza or me.
Thanks,
Amanda

Tis the season for delays and school cancellations. Superintendent Doak sent out the annual school closure letter back in October, but figured it was good to remind everyone about our procedures.
- If we have a two-hour delay, we start Block 1 at 9:50 (we do not send AM SRTC) and go through our entire bell schedule. If you have late arrival in your schedule Block 2 begins at 10:25.
- If school is canceled, we skip that color day and return to school the following day (all of our blue/white days are pre-determined).
- If Superintendent Doak calls a remote learning day we will follow the schedule below.
We try to notify everyone as soon as possible when there are changes to our school schedule. Superintendent Doak works closely with the highway department, the transportation department, and fellow superintendents to make the best possible decision for school cancellations.
