Thank you for your support and partnership as we continue our commitment to prioritizing safety while also working tirelessly to provide the highest quality instruction for students. This year is a year we reimagine the whole school experience for our students, from safety, to student achievement, to school community. We invite you to watch this video message from YES Prep CEO Mark DiBella and learn more about our plans for a reimagined school year.

We are excited to be getting back to a new normal for the upcoming school year and our teachers and staff are hard at work making sure that we start off the 2021-2022 school year strong. This upcoming school year we’ll be focused on addressing any learning loss due to the pandemic. Please watch this short video of our Chief Programs Officer, Nella García Urban, highlighting how we will reimagine what it means to achieve and accelerate learning to ensure every single student is college-ready.  

As you know, we will be returning to in-person learning for all students this coming school year and our teachers and staff are hard at work to ensure a safe and strong transition back into the classroom. While we focus on accelerating learning this upcoming school year, we will remain committed to safety and social-emotional supports for all students. Please watch this short video below to learn how we will reimagine student safety and support at YES Prep Public Schools.

Our teachers and staff are hard at work to ensure a safe and strong transition back into the classroom. While we focus on student achievement and safety this upcoming school year, we will also be focused on reimagining student community by offering again programs and activities that we know our students enjoy; student clubs, athletics, tutorials, and college trips to name a few. Please watch this short video to learn how we will reimagine student community at YES Prep Public Schools this school year.

As we plan for returning to school at YES Prep, we recognize that this will still be an uncommon school year, but we remain committed to supporting your student’s learning, as well as his or her safety.

We are excited to share that K-12 students will use a YES Prep-provided laptop as part of their daily in-person learning experience in the 2021-2022 school year.   Be sure to be "tech-ready" each day by following the Tech-Readiness Checklist below. 

We will be launching Schoology as our Learning Management System (LMS). Schoology will serve as a digital companion to the in-person teaching and learning environment. Leveraging technology in combination with the aligned, active, and rigorous learning that is part of our YES Prep program, will help to ensure that your students graduate college-ready.

YES Prep will waive the uniform policy for students for the entire 2021-22 school year. YES Prep understands the COVID-19 pandemic has created or increased the economic challenges. Students will follow the “free dress” policy as outlined in the Individual Campus Supplement for their school.

YES Prep will run traditional athletic programming for the 2021-2022 school year. This will include the return to HCAL for scheduling with outside organizations for district and non-district games. Programming will include all core sports for high school and middle school and non-core sports that include Junior Varsity teams, cheer, flag football and track. We will continue to monitor the current climate and COVID-19 protocols to ensure that safety is a top priority.

As we approach the new school year, July 19 will be the official start date for high school cross country and volleyball. For your child to participate in these sports, a physical must be completed prior to this date. Failure to provide this document will result in your child not being able to tryout. If you have any questions, contact your campus athletic director for further questions.
