Yocum Elementary

👕 YOCUM T-SHIRT REORDER! 🐻💙💛

We’ve had several families ask, so we’re opening up another round of Yocum T-shirt orders!

📅 Order & Payment Deadline: September 25

To have a shirt ordered, you must complete the order form AND submit payment by September 25. Shirts will only be ordered for those who have completed both steps by the deadline.

📍 Please note: At this time, we do not have the resources to mail shirts. All shirts will need to be picked up at Yocum once they arrive.

We will be hosting a Flu Clinic on October 7th for our students. Please be on the lookout for papers coming home this week! They must be returned be October 2nd if you would like for your student to participate.

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: T-shirt orders are due TOMORROW!

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! 💙💛
