Message from Mrs. Richardson
Dear York Avenue Families,
I can't believe it's October already! Time flies when you're having fun!
I came across this infographic that serves as a reminder about the importance of connection, patience and understanding. As parents, we know this to be true but seeing the infographic in writing makes it all the more jarring.
Our students are small but mighty! Your children are resilient, smart, fun, funny and kind individuals. I enjoy spending my days with them.
Enjoy the first weekend in October!
Warmly,
Dipa P. Richardson
Principal

Breakfast & Lunch
For 21-22, each day your child's first breakfast and lunch are free. Any additional items will need to be purchased with funds from your account using the School Cafe App.
If your child in grade 1-6 wants breakfast, they go directly the lunchroom to pick it up before going to class. Kindergarten teachers distribute it in their classrooms.
