YHS Parents & Students:
On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Yukon High School students will participate in a targeted learning day for all students.
This schedule will allow our 9th and 10th grade students to take the Pre-ACT exam in an environment that will provide them with a quiet, focused testing environment. All 9th and 10th 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 Pre-ACT exam.
We are excited that this transition in our learning environment will also allow our Seniors to participate in Senior Seminar. On this same day, all Seniors will be required to attend Senior Seminar, which will be held at Together We (620 N. Cemetery Rd., Yukon) During this time they will participate in a variety of events, including a keynote address and will be able to select from several sessions to prepare them for post-secondary opportunities. Senior Seminar will begin at 8:30am and will conclude at Noon.
Our 11th grade students will remain at home on this day 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 October 8th and students should complete these assignments by the end of that day.
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 October 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
