January Updates from Superintendent Dr. Ron Hattar
March 7, 2024
Dear Yorktown School Community,
I hope this email finds you well. Enclosed are some important updates for your review.
Beauty and the Beast This Weekend
There are only a few days left to secure your tickets to this weekend’s Yorktown High School Spring Musical, “Beauty and the Beast.” Students and staff have been working hard for many months on this incredible show, and we do hope you come out and support our wonderful performing arts programs. You will have three opportunities to see the musical:
7 p.m. Friday, March 8
2 p.m. Saturday, March 9
7 p.m. Saturday, March 9
I am planning to attend the Saturday afternoon show, and I look forward to seeing you there!
Tickets can be purchased by clicking this link.
Transportation Deadline Reminders
All 2024-25 requests for daycare forms must be completed and submitted no later than April 1, 2024.
All 2024-25 private school request forms must be completed and submitted no later than April 1, 2024.
With schools closed for spring recess beginning March 29, you may wish to consider submitting any out of district or transportation requests prior to the spring recess.
Superintendent’s Conference Day on Monday, March 11
As a reminder, a Superintendent’s Conference Day is scheduled for Monday, March 11. As a result, students in grades Pre-K-12 will not report to school on March 11.
Pre-K Registration
Pre-K registration is now open. Registration information for our pre-K program can be found here. Please know that although we are opening registration today, the program is contingent on state funding.
Solar Eclipse
On Monday, April 8, a solar eclipse will be visible from approximately 2:15 to 4:30 p.m. With New York being in the path of totality, we believe this is a great learning opportunity for our students. The next time that NY will be in the path of totality of a solar eclipse is 2079! Through an innovative iGrant Award, we plan to distribute special (ISO 12312-2 certified) viewing glasses to every student and staff member. Additional information will follow.
Please do not forget to advance clocks by one hour on Sunday morning for Daylight Saving Time.
Have a terrific remainder of the week!
Respectfully,
Dr. Hattar
