Parent Alert: Is the MOMO Challenge a Hoax?
Similar to the Blue Whale Challenge, the Momo Challenge is a dangerous viral social media trend with teens and tweens. The challenge encourages students to contact an unknown person called “Momo” via WhatsApp. Here’s an important article parents should read.
ShamRock'n Run 2019
The R.E.A.C.H. foundation is hosting the annual ShamRock'n Run on March 17th at Yorba Regional Park from 8 am to 11 am. This is a 5K or 2K Fun Run / Walk. For more information and to register please follow the link. https://www.reach4pylusd.org/2019-shamrock--n-run.html
YLMS will get $5.00 per participant signed up under our school! The school with the most participants will receive an additional $1000 for their school. Sign up now!
Student Cell Phone Usage
Parents, please remind your student they must call from the office if they need to contact you or are feeling sick. It is a safety issue to have students text parents (often from a bathroom) if they are sick or not feeling well. We would like students to see our school health clerk first then we will make calls. Phones are to be off during school hours. We appreciate your cooperation communicating this to students.
