​Yorkdale Central School's " Living the Code" is woven into every fabric of the school. It represents all our actions within the school, and if our students are off campus, the Code follows them. Our staff members have been known to remind students off campus and on weekends as well. How a student is remember, or his or her legacy, is closely tied to Living the Code. Really, there is no "Pride in the Paw" without "Living the Code." Just do it!​

​The Board of Education and GSSD Senior Adminsitration invite you to attend the Central Cluster Regional Symposium. This will be on February 27 on 7:00 pm.

Parent engagement will be among the topics of discussion.

From January 8 through January 30, YCS will be promoting literacy and family engagement through a One Book One School reading of "Wishtree" by Katherine Applegate. Daily reading, trivia and school wide activities will be organized to create excitement. However, we hope the real reward is sharing a good novel with family and friends. Mark your calendar! Our wrap-up event is Jan 30th!

The Ladom Ensemble is touring Canada, and it is stopping in Yorkton and performing at the Anne Portnuff Theater on February 1st at 7:30 pm. On its way, it is stopping in and visiting Yorkdale at 1 pm!

​

Ladom Ensemble is the best example of the musical integration that defines this country. Drawing from Persian, Balkan, South American, and Turkish music, these four musicians effortlessly integrate these musical genres and blend them into a contemporary classical framework. Energetic performances, mingled with the musicians’ cultural and musical stories that further the audience’s overall experience. With a unique combination of instruments consisting of accordion, world percussion, cello, and piano, they create a distinct yet accessible sound into a memorable performance for all ages. Original compositions such as Raha, Noor, and Veles I & II represent the ensemble’s vast musical works of Middle Eastern persuasion, while their own arrangements of Brahms’ Hungarian Dance, Piazzolla’s Libertango, and even Weird Fishes by Radiohead, gives familiar works a refreshed musical diversity to share. ​

​On February 15 (1:30), Wide Open Theatre returns to YCS with an  unconventional "re-tailing" of "The Little Mermaid." YCS will also play host to Calder School, which is set to close in June 2019. Many of its students will be coming to YCS, so we can't wait to have them with us!

Little Mermaid: "Troubled by the pollution that plagues her undersea world, the little mermaid gives up her tail and her voice to find the creatures responsible for the destruction of her home. This life changing adventure introduces us to an ocean of marine life, a ship full of mariners and a passionate mermaid who wants to change the world. This 45-minute puppet escapade features giant puppets and rod puppets in an all ages adventure."
