Dear Parents and Guardians,
Tonight's note starts with another round of celebration, further recognizing student accomplishments in the world of music and athletics. First, we would like to offer congratulations to the following students for their acceptance into the MMEA District 2 Instrumental Honors Festival, which will take place on January 19th and 20th at Oxford Hills High School.

We would also like to recognize the girls' cross country team as state champions, led by Sophie Laukli and Anneka Murrin, who finished 2nd and 4th respectively. Congratulations to our boys' cross country team who finished 2nd overall, led by Luke Laverdiere's first place finish. Playoff action continues this week, with our soccer teams playing in regional finals on Wednesday November 1st.
End of the Quarter - Friday, November 3rd. We would encourage you to review your student's progress on PowerSchool. A reminder that Cornerstones are the assessments designed by Yarmouth High School teachers that connect directly to the learning area and school-wide expectations. Students need to pass all of the cornerstones in a course with a grade of 80 or above in order to pass the course. Students who do not reach that grade on the first try will have multiple opportunities to meet the required score. Should a cornerstone not be successfully completed, a "CINC" (cornerstone incomplete) will be listed in their grade report. As soon as students have retaken their assessment(s) and successfully demonstrated proficiency with a score of 80 or above, the incomplete "CINC" marker will be removed from their grade report.
Winter Sports Info Night - With the end of the fall season almost at hand, it is time to prepare for winter sports. Winter Sports Information Night will be held on Monday, November 6th @ 6 pm. Please plan to attend if your son or daughter is participating in a winter sport in order to meet with coaches. Locations for each team will be posted at both entrances to the school.
November 7th, 8th - Learning Area Conferences - The Yarmouth High School version of Parent-Teacher Conferences is around the corner. Individual appointments are not made ahead of time; rather these conferences are held in the cafeteria and gym where teachers provide quick updates (about 5 minutes) of your child's progress. Our student ambassadors will be on site to help guide you through this evening.
If your son or daughter's last name begins with A-K, conferences will be held from 3:30-6:30 pm on Tuesday, November 7.
Those with last names starting with L-Z will have conferences from 3:30-6:30 pm on Wednesday, November 8th.
Blue Jean Ball - YEF (Yarmouth Education Foundation) is hosting the annual Blue Jean Ball on November 11, 2017 at the AMVETS Hall. The event is a fun night out benefiting Yarmouth students in grades K-12. Please visit www.yarmoutheducationfoundation.org for more details.
