Congratulations to YHS 2021 Homecoming Prince Max Raab & Princess Isabelle Wintz!
All Yankton Public School students, including JrK-12th grade will be dismissed at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, September 24, for the Yankton High School Pioneer Days Homecoming Parade. There is no afternoon Preschool at Webster School or Early Childhood Preschool at Stewart School that day.
Bus students who ride Yankton School District buses will load the buses at 1:50 at their respective buildings. They will make the exchange at YMS and will leave YMS at approximately 2:15. Parents of elementary students may pick up their bus students at school at 2:00 p.m. if they are not riding the bus that day and have notified the school in advance.
Parents of JrK students at Webster should pick them up at school at 1:45 p.m., as they will be dismissed earlier due to traffic. Parents of in-town students should pick them up at school at 2:00 p.m. All elementary students should return the parade notice to their teacher, so plans are known for the early dismissal.
The parade will begin at 2:30 p.m. at Mulberry and 2nd Street, proceed west on 2nd Street to Cedar Street, North on Cedar Street to 3rd Street and East on 3rd Street to Burleigh Street. If inclement weather occurs, the parade will be cancelled but school will still be dismissed at 2:00 pm.
PARENTS: Reminder to sign up for In Town Busing before the start of school! Signing up before the start of school ensures that your student receives a bus pass and has a seat on the bus to school. Please go to https://www.ysd.k12.sd.us/apps/pages/Transportation-Busing to find the In Town Busing form and waiver. The request form and waiver can also be picked up at the Yankton School District Administration office located at 2410 West City Limits Road. Return the forms to the District Administration office as soon as possible.
