Friday Feature 🤩 Meet our secretary, Judy Morales! She has worked in the SCSD for 24 years!  She has worked at the high school, Mont Pleasant Middle School, and in the transportation office.  She loves Yates because of the laughs and smiles she shares with students and staff.

Attendance in elementary school is important because kids are building the foundational knowledge for reading & math which will help them succeed throughout all of their years in school. HS dropouts have higher rates of absence beginning as early as 1st grade. #projectbehere
