The York County School Division is partnering with the Virginia Department of Education to host viewings of the fireside chat followed by a community conversation. Families, students, and staff are invited to participate in these events.

The York County School Division has transitioned to a new online payment and form system, SchoolCash Online. This platform replaces Rycor as the preferred method of payment for school-related fees such as fundraisers, field trips, school spirit wear, etc.

During Monday’s meeting, the board received a presentation from ArcBridge Consulting regarding the five options developed to address student enrollment and available classroom space within each elementary school. Dr. Jim Carroll, chief operations officer, then shared the recommendations from the stakeholder committee charged with evaluating the consultant’s plans.

The York County School Division is currently conducting an Instructional Materials Review (IMR) for adoption of K-5 literacy program materials. The next step in this process involves inviting interested families and community members to review the recommended instructional materials and provide feedback. The school division will offer two in-person locations for families and community members to review the student and teacher instructional materials.

Congratulations Mrs. Leann Turner for being Magruder's Teacher of the Year!

Our panther students had a super charged fun and instructional week! Our kindergarteners enjoyed Holly Forks Farm on Friday and Mr. Williams' fifth graders went to the James River Association's docks to board a boat and explore ecology. The Makerspace was busy with our fifth graders building and programing a device to knock over an object with invisible atoms. This is hard to picture but the team work and end product was fabulous!

It was wonderful to see our families out on Friday for PTA's Book Bingo event! We had lots of fun and students went home with several books. Kudos to our MES PTA for making the event exciting and providing fresh popcorn as we played the game.
