Dear Bulldog Families,
Thank you for helping make this week so special at William Yates. We loved welcoming families for Cookies with Santa, our grade-level parent events, and the festive fun of Deck the Halls! Our teachers’ decorations truly brought extra cheer to the building.
We appreciate your partnership and the time you spend connecting with our school community. Special shout out to our PTA !

AMI Information:
- We have used 2 of the 6 available AMI days. During parent teacher conferences, your student’s teacher shared AMI (Alternate Methods of Instruction) instructions and materials. The first 6 snow days will be AMI days. Students and staff will complete the school day from home and the day will not need to be made up at the end of the year. If you have any questions regarding AMI day instructions, materials, etc. please reach out to your child’s teacher.
