Principal's Message
Good Evening Yowell Families,
Wow! We did it! Our first full week of school is behind us! Tomorrow is a fresh new week of learning and growing.
Gentle reminder when your child is absent from school please contact the office, email Mrs. Dunn (cdunn@ccpsweb.org), or send a note in with your child. Each year student's have 10 parent calls to use at your discretion for illness, travel, etc. Please remember if you go to the doctor to get a note and send it to school. Doctor visits do not count towards a parent call.
Second grade parents please fill out the field trip permission form and send it payment by Wednesday for this week's field trip. **Payment must be exact change, check or made using School Cash Online (directions below).
Have an amazing week!
Mrs. Fiscus

There will also be information about obtaining your instrument. We recommend that you rent for at least the first few months to ensure it is the right instrument for you.

Transportation Information
In an effort to assist schools and parents with current information about bus changes, transportation has added a new item on their website called: Transportation - Morning Update. The direct link can be found here. Also, this is the direct link to transportation.
Parents of students Pre-K through Grade 3 are expected to meet their children at the bus stop. Failure to do so will result in the child(ren) being returned to school. Should you choose to allow your child(ren) to be dropped off without supervision in the afternoon, please fill out and return this document.
We will be posting departure times for buses each day to assist parents with receiving their child from the bus stop. Please check this document each afternoon.
If your student requires transportation assistance, call the Transportation Department at 540-825-5446 or email them at transportation@ccpsweb.org
School Resource Officer (SRO)
We are happy to have a School Resource Officer (SRO) this year at Yowell. You can contact Deputy Brandon Mack with any concerns you have with school safety or anything that would be related to criminal activity.
