We have a lot of going on this month, be sure to check out our monthly newsletter: https://app.smore.com/n/av21r

School will be closedy Friday, September 4th and Monday, September 7th!

⏰ Every minute matters! 🐻💙💛

Being on time and staying all day helps our Bears get the most out of every school day. Instruction begins promptly at 8:00 AM and continues until dismissal begins at 3:25 PM. Late arrivals and early check-outs mean students miss valuable learning time.

🥣 Breakfast is available each morning until 8:00 AM, so arriving early gives students time to eat, get settled, and be ready to learn!

ATTENTION FAMILIES!

Yocum Reminder: All ESD school dismiss at 1:30 on Wednesdays!

Mindset. Mastery. Momentum. ✏️This year, we’re using a simple 3-Word Pencil Promise to help our students remember how to approach learning! Tap the eraser — MINDSET: “I can try.” Mistakes are okay! Point to the tip — MASTERY: “I can practice.” Practice helps us grow! Slide it forward — MOMENTUM: “I can keep going.” Keep moving forward! Three words. One simple reminder. 💛 I can try. I can practice. I can keep going.

Yocum Reminder: A few quick reminders as we get back into the swing of things! 💙💛🐻 Please take a look at these important reminders about lunch money, NEW car tags, and student ID tags. Helping our Bears come prepared each day keeps everything running smoothly! 😊

Tomorrow's the day! 🐻💙💛

This year is especially meaningful as we celebrate Yocum's 99th—and final—school year. Let's make it our best year yet, filled with learning, memories, and Bear pride.

See you in the morning! 💙💛
