Betsie and Mr. Reid cheering our runners on!

Students and volunteers got together after school to beautify the village park.

With colder weather on the way, we want to remind students and families to bring coats, hats, gloves and even snow pants and boots as we move into snowy weather. We want to make sure all our Bulldogs are prepared to go outside for recess!

Please call the school by 9:00 AM to let us know that your child won't be in school and the reason for their absence. We want to make sure that all of our students are safe and accounted for and we are required to report certain illnesses to the health department every week. Even if you have texted the teacher, they may be prepping for the day or have a classroom of students and may not have a chance to let the office know. You can call and leave a message anytime @ 810-384-1300. Thanks for your assistance!

If your student requires any medication during the school day, then our district has the following policies:

• All medications must be brought to the office by an adult. This includes any non-prescription medication such as cough drops or pain reliever. All medications require a consent form.

• All medication must be in the original container.

• Consent forms by parents must be signed in order for the medicine to be administered at school.

• All prescription medications such as inhalers and EPI-Pens need a signed consent form from the prescribing physician.

If your child has a food related allergy that needs special accommodations, YPS Food Services needs to have a new signed Doctor’s Note on file each year. You can turn this into the office or have your child’s doctor fax it to 810-384-8010.
