Grizzly Gazette

What an amazing start we have had at York JH! As we gear up for September, we are looking forward to all the excitement that comes with athletics, fine arts, and day-to-day school fun. The kids have really settled in and are adapting well to junior high. Thank you all for your continued support and generous compliments as we continue to work hard to make York JH even better.

Starting in 7-12 grade, ALL students in CISD will be required to wear an ID badge. All incoming 7th graders and new students were given ID tags on August 21-23. Almost all of our students have received their badge. If they do not have one, please click HERE to request a new ID tag. We expect all of our students to wear them everyday, starting after Labor Day. If they lose their tag, the cost is $2 and you will be billed in School Cash Online.

At the secondary level (junior high and high school), all progress reports and report cards are submitted electronically. You will receive an email when they are ready for review, and you can sign them online at Parent Access Center.

• No crop tops may be worn by boys/girls and at no time should a child's midsection be showing.
• Shorts and skirts must be as close to mid thigh as possible.
• Jeans and pants must not be sagging below the waist.
• No sleepwear or pajamas. No slippers.
• No backless, strapless, or skinny spaghetti strap tops.
• No hats, except on special dress-up days.

The website is now "live" with information regarding school clubs. We are starting with just a few, and will continue to add more clubs throughout the year. Interested in how to get involved? Interested in starting a new club? Check out all the information HERE.

• Students riding the bus will be dropped off in the back of the school. These students will then report to the cafeteria, if it is before 8:30 AM. If after 8:30 AM, they will go to first period.
• Students riding their bike may LOCK their bike in front of campus, at the bike racks.
• Car Riders- please have patience and be nice to your neighbors. Use the "zipper" approach (like at Chick Fil-A). One enters the front drive from the west side of Waterbend Cove, then the east side, and so forth and so on.
• Car Riders- we will allow "double stacking" of cars in both lanes to help more traffic flow on Waterbend Cove.
• Car Riders- follow the signage on the sidewalk and in the street. Pull all the way forward before dropping your child off from the passenger side.

In order to be approved for your child to receive a free/reduced lunch at York, you MUST APPLY every year. The deadline for applying is 9/21/23. Applications are done online. CLICK HERE.

Below is the list for the 23-24 school supply list. You'll find that supply lists are different at the junior high level, rather than elementary/intermediate. We ask that each family provide their child with supplies that they will keep and use throughout the year. We also have a list of class supplies that we ask families to donate to help with items needed during the school day. Because times are tough for many of our families right now, the classroom supplies are optional. However, anything you are able to purchase will make a huge impact in the daily learning for your child. See the list below.

An Amazon Wish List has been made for those who want to purchase the Classroom Supplies, but don't want their child to carry them to class. Click the link below to be directed to Amazon, where materials may be purchased and shipped directly to York.
