Hello Students and Staff-
Please excuse this brief announcement. Our Nation
and Community has had a historic shift in our political landscape over the past
few days. And the beauty of this nation
is that we live in a democracy where we value the idea of people having
different opinions and the freedoms to share those opinions. However, these events do not change our
beliefs of how we treat individuals in our building and our community. We will continue York’s belief that everyone is
a valued member of the York community.
We will continue to expect our students and staff to treat each other
with the respect that each member of our society deserves. Our country has a rich history of coming
together after elections and promoting a peaceful transfer of power.
After today, we will no longer permit actual flags of any
kind to be worn as capes or clothing in our building. This has become a distraction to the learning
environment.
Tomorrow morning we will be holding our all school veteran’s
assembly. This assembly is to honor the
veterans that have served our country so that we have the freedom to vote and
live in a democracy. We expect our
students and staff to treat this assembly with the respect and dignity these
veterans deserve. This will also give us the opportunity to celebrate our
country in unity. We are committed to
serving the needs of all our students and it is our priority that every student
feels safe and welcomed in our building.
We are counting on all of you to continue these values.
Thank you.
York Administration
