A Message from the Principal

Dear Yasuhara Families,

Welcome to October! Our first month of school is officially under our belt. It was an awesome launch to the school year, and we're so excited to finally have all three grade levels in our building. It's wonderful to see our upper class men setting a positive example for our new 6^th grade students. We have a lot of things to celebrate this year: our fantastic ASB is excited to host Yasuhara's first PEP CON of 2023-2024;

our student athletes are incredible and we couldn't be more excited to see how much they've grown; and we'd like to thank all of our families who help get their students to school every day on time. Good attendance is one of the highest indicators of school success and success later in life. Please be sure to call our attendance line if your child will not be at school. It's going to be a great month!

Sincerely,

Stephanie Lundberg
