Weekly Memo

Some thoughts for the starting school year

Hi Everyone,

This is our LAST weekly memo of 2024. As we approach the holiday break, Liza and I would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and engagement throughout the first half of the school year. Your commitment to our students' success has contributed significantly to the positive learning environment we strive to maintain at our high school.

On behalf of our entire staff, we want to wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with joy, relaxation, and memorable moments with loved ones. May this break provide an opportunity for our students to recharge and return in the new year with renewed energy and enthusiasm for learning.

To those of you who will be traveling during the break, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey. For those staying close to home, we hope you find time to enjoy the simple pleasures that come with a well-deserved break.

Congratulations to this week's Seacoast Student of the Week: Emerson Joyce! Each week, we nominate a student from York High School to be featured in the Seacoast Online. Here is what we said about Emma:

Emma is a student-athlete who works hard on the field hockey field, the basketball court, and the lacrosse field while taking three AP classes. She is a leader at YHS and a senior class officer. She was just asked to participate in our most recent NEASC accreditation visit. Emma is kind, compassionate, and funny.

Stay tuned to see who our Student of the Week is next week!!

Thank you once again for your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back on January 2, 2025. 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.
