September Success!
Dear Prospector Families,
We celebrated 248 students with perfect attendance on Friday with Pizza with the Principal! Grade level teams are holding informal monthly awards to celebrate classroom successes. YVES passed our William's Inspection with 100% for facilities and student materials. I am proud of our staff, students, families, and volunteers for working so hard to ensure a successful beginning to our school year! Morongo Unified School District has been very supportive of our site and goals. Thank you for being an important part of our successes every day. This is what #YVESGOLD is all about!
Thank you for ensuring that your child is at school from first bell to last bell as we continue the important journey of learning. We look forward to continued success as we see our first quarter come to an end on October 26, 2018.
Go, Prospectors!
