#YeagerBuzz
September 2022
From the Principal
Thank you for your patience with transportation as we get our routines and procedures established. Our buses are arriving to Yeager earlier every day and should be on a predictable schedule within a week or two.
Our school start time changed this year to 8:45am. We begin our morning announcements at 8:40am and classes start at 8:45am. Students are expected to be in class by the tardy bell which rings at 8:45am so please plan your drop-off time so students have time to make it to class on time.
We hope to see all of our families at Open House on September 13th.
Best regards,
Laura Midkiff, Principal

We will start recording tardies on Monday, August 29th.
Lunch Visitors
We do not have lunch visitors at the beginning of the year so that students can learn routines and procedures. We are not able to accept lunch drop-offs of fast food, etc. Parents may drop off forgotten lunch kits if necessary.
