Yankton Middle School

Author Coach Sloth is coming to our Yankton Elementary Schools next week, May 11-13! We are so excited to meet him and hear his inspiring stories!
Order forms to purchase his books are coming home and can be returned to your child's school office before his visit. Coach Sloth will be signing these books during his visits.
Coach Sloth will also be at the Yankton Community Library on Monday, May 11th at 6 pm!

Here's the Scoop: We may have forgotten to announce our "Special Someone's" at YMS last week so you're in for a double scoop of goodness this week! These students are a treat to have in our classrooms!

Yankton Middle School 8th graders enjoyed the morning at the Missouri River Watershed Festival.

Beadle Elementary is collecting photos to celebrate Beadle’s 100th birthday. We are very interested in any photographs from the earlier years of Beadle School, but we will accept photographs from all years. The photos will be used for a slide show of Beadle’s history next fall, when we have an Open House on Sept. 22, 2026. We invite you to upload photos to the link provided. For those not able to upload, they can bring their photos to Beadle, and we will upload them for you. We encourage former staff or family of former staff members to upload a staff photo, including the years they worked at Beadle. Thank you for your submissions and for helping celebrate Beadle’s history. They can be uploaded at this link: https://bit.ly/4uk4ov9

Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Respect, Honesty, Self-Control, Being Helpful & Kind. These are all traits we hope our students will display while at YMS. We are honored to recognize these 3 "Special Someones" this week!

We are growing good deeds and springing into positive actions here at YMS!
