YHS Parents & Students:

On Wednesday, April 1, 2026 and Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Yukon High School students will participate in a targeted learning day for all students.

This schedule will allow our 11th grade students to take their state-required ACT, Science and History exams in an environment that will provide them with a quiet, focused testing environment.  All 11th graders (both in-person and virtual) will be required to be on campus promptly at 8:00am to take this required exam.  Students will be testing in various classrooms throughout the school and will be notified of the classroom they need to report to.  Students will be taking the national ACT exam on April 1st, in which scores may be used for college acceptance and potential scholarship awards.  Students will then take both the state-required Science and History exams on April 8th.  All 11th graders are required to take these three exams as a State of Oklahoma graduation requirement.

We are excited that this transition in our learning environment will also allow our Seniors to participate in a series of mock interviews with our community’s dedicated professionals.  On April 1st, all Seniors will be required to attend a 30-minute mock interview session.  During this time they will participate in two mock interviews and will receive constructive feedback the following day.  On April 8th, all Seniors will be required to attend a 30-minute interview and conversation session with a professional from their chosen career cluster track.  Seniors will be given the opportunity to sign up for their session of choice.  Information on sign-ups will be sent in early March, via student email.

Our 9th and 10th grade students will remain at home on these days and will complete their assignments through the Google Classroom platform.  Students use this platform on a daily basis in their classrooms and are familiar with the steps to access these assignments.  Teachers will have these assignments posted on the morning of April 1st & 8th and students should complete these assignments by the end of that day.

There will be a select group of 9th and 10th grade students that will be notified to attend school, on this day, for targeted math and reading intervention.  Those students and parents will be notified by the last week in March.

Special Education students enrolled in the LIFE, RISE or ABLE program will be attending school as usual and will follow their regular schedule.  Transportation will not be impacted.

Bus Transportation will be provided as it is traditionally offered on a regular school day.  There will not be any changes in times and routes for our bus transportation on April 1st and 8th.

The cafeteria will remain open on this day to serve students breakfast and lunch at regularly scheduled times.

Practice for after-school extracurricular activities will also occur as scheduled, not to begin until the regularly scheduled time.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your student’s assistant principal or counselor.  

Sincerely,

Melissa Barlow

Principal
