YCS PTA
Every parent and guardian of a YCS student is automatically enrolled in the YCS PTA, which focuses on raising funds to support school enrichment programs, community engagement activities and recess assistants to ensure that all children are supported at YCS. We hope to see all parents and guardians at the PTA social that we will host shortly after the start of the school year.
