Principal's Message

We hope everyone enjoyed the mid-winter break! 

We came back to a full and exciting schedule, which included a wonderful performance from the Italian Fairy in which our students were given the opportunity to experience Venice and Naples during Carnevale. Students received masks for the performance and made their own masks during art with Ms. Barksdale. 

Next up we had our students' presentation for Carnevale on Wednesday, March 1st at 10am. We hope you were able to enjoy it as much as we did! 

Our annual Reading Gala will take place tomorrow on Thursday, March 2nd. We are looking forward to hosting various readers and authors to celebrate and share our love of reading with all of our students! 

Parent Teacher Conferences are next week on Thursday, March 9th. Please make sure to schedule a time with your child's teacher to discuss their progress. There will be early dismissal, and students will dismiss at 11:30am and there will be no after school.

We are so grateful for your partnership, and we look forward to our continued work together for all of our students here at YDMA. 

We will see you at our upcoming PTA meeting on March 14th at 6pm and again at our Town Hall on March 22 at 5:30pm via Zoom. 

Lastly, be sure to follow us on social media!
