The Paw Print Parent Newsletter
York Junior High School * Early October 2022
Good afternoon,
I hope all of you are having a great start to the week. I typically try to send one newsletter a month, but we have a couple of things happening toward the beginning of October, so I want to make sure you have the information now.
The first big thing is the PSAT 8. All of our 8th graders will be taking this test on campus on Tuesday, October 11th. Many of you were able to come to our academic night to learn more about this test and how it jumpstarts your child's College Board activities. There is more information below, and I have also linked the presentation here.
The FUN thing we have coming soon is YORKAPALOOZA! This is one of our big PTO fundraisers of the year, and it is a lot of fun for our kids (and staff)! Yorkapalooza is Friday, October 14th right after school. The link to purchase wristbands is below, and we really appreciate early purchases so we can effectively plan for the event.
One more opportunity this month is to come have breakfast with me on October 5th! I know that there are still some lingering questions about block schedule, or high school credit courses, or our academic goals for the year, or any other things that you want to discuss with me, so I want to make sure I am available to you to answer those questions. I also know that the morning is not convenient for everyone, so if there is interest, I will be happy to schedule more times after school or on some additional morning dates. More information about this below.
Thank you for your support of all that we do at York! Please reach out if there is anything you need from me.
Sincerely,
Melanie Bujnoch

End of Grading Period - Thursday, October 6, 2022
The end of the first 9 weeks grading period is Thursday, October 6th, and report cards will be sent home on October 13th. Parents/guardians can monitor student grades between report cards by creating a Parent Access Account via this link -- CISD Parent Access.
Already have an account, but have
questions regarding what is entered in PAC?
This Gradebook Symbols Help Document has been created as a guide.
Yorkapalooza is coming soon!
Wristbands are $20 in advance, and $25 on the day of the event, and they give your student unlimited access to all of the fun except for concessions. You can start purchasing your wristband now using this link, and they will be delivered to your student the week of the event. More information can be found on the PTO website here.
PSAT for 8th Grade Students is Tuesday, October 11th
Your can learn more about the PSAT 8 that will be given at York JH on Tuesday, October 11th below, but here are a few key things to know:
- It is free for our students!
- You do not need to register your student for the test. If they are in 8th grade and are present at school on Tuesday, October 11th, they will get to test.
- Scores are not sent to colleges. This is a practice test. It is designed to assess a student's high school readiness.
- You can learn more on the College Board website here
- You can access the Student Guide here: PSAT 8/9 Student Guide
Please send any questions to our Testing Coordinator, Lacey Steinke at lsteinke@conroeisd.net

Deliveries to campus
- Lunches may only be delivered by a parent or guardian listed as a campus contact for the student, and they cannot include food for other students, or they will not be accepted.
- Deliveries from anyone or any organization other than parents/guardians will not be accepted by the school (flowers, Tiffs Treats, etc.).
- Parents and guardians may deliver fast food, if they wish, but the school will not accept deliveries from restaurants or delivery companies such as DoorDash or Grubhub. These deliveries will be turned away.
Thank you for your help with this!
