The 100th day of school is THIS Friday! Let's celebrate by dressing up like we are 100 years old or wearing a shirt designed with 100 things we love!
Pending weather conditions, the El Dorado School District will start two hours late tomorrow, February 2, 2023. All ESD schools will begin at 10am. Buses will run their regular routes, and students may be dropped off beginning at 9:30am.
If weather conditions change or become more severe, further guidance will be provided.
Due to the high probability of inclement weather and the winter weather advisory in place for Union County, the El Dorado School District will use an AMI (Alternate Method of Instruction) Day for Wednesday, February 1st. Please follow the AMI guidance provided by your school. All campuses will be closed. All extracurricular activities scheduled for tomorrow are canceled and will be rescheduled if and when possible. Further announcements will be made if the closure is extended.
REMINDER: The book fair is NEXT week! Students will go to the book fair during their library class. It will also be open 7:30AM-3:00PM each day. You can send cash with your students, or you can load money to their eWallet: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/yocumelemsch1
School will dismiss at 1:30pm. Buses will run a little behind today. Thank you for your understanding!
ATTENTION: Guardians can continue checking students out as long as school personnel can do so safely. If it becomes unsafe, check-outs will be paused until they can be resumed safely. Additionally, if there are any guardians who are outside the school buildings and would like to take cover inside, please do so at your own risk. We want all to be safe.
ATTENTION:
Due to the current weather warnings, all schools are in a tornado drill. We do have early dismissal today, but dismissal will not begin until the warning has been lifted. Buses may run late.

Be sure to tune into KTVE today at 4:00PM to hear the story of our book vending machine at Yocum Primary! It is the first machine in Union County and one of three in South Arkansas! #letmehearyouGROWL #YocumBears
Yocum was so excited to have a float in the El Dorado Christmas parade. Over the last few weeks, Kindergarten through 4th grade students worked on creating different pieces of the float during art class. The students hand sponged all of the squares, created and painted the flowers, helped paint the Mystery Machine van and glittered the letters. We are so proud of all their hard work.
*REMINDER*
2nd, 3rd and 4th graders will be participating in Camp Yocum TOMORROW! They can dress up in their favorite camping attire for a day they don't want to miss!

Our 1st graders had a great time dressing up as their favorite book characters and putting on a parade for the rest of the school. Check out our Facebook page for more photos.
