2011-12...The Year of the Dukes!

Here we go folks. The 2011-12 school year officially begins on August 10th with New Teacher Orientation. We are expecting around 1,215 students to enter our buildings on the first day of school.

Below are some the highlights for the upcoming year:
* After-School programs will begin at YES and YMS
* Our school improvement plan will be finalized with specific building indicators
* YHS will host its own Business Academy
* We will pursue a bond election on November 15th for facility repairs and enhancements at the high school

Below is some recent student achievement data to be proud of:
• YPS average for NWEA/MAPS Reading assessment was an NCE score of 58.28 with the state average being 55.85

• YPS average for NWEA/MAPS Math assessment was an NCE score of 57.71 with the state average being 56.0

** The 5th grade class from last year (moving to YMS as 6th graders next week) improved their overall class score by 3 NCE points in reading and 9 points in math from their performance the year before as 4th graders!!
