YCS Vision
(How are we going to get there?)
• Safe
Creating and supporting environments that ensure both physical and
social/emotional safety
• Student-Centered
Decisions about processes and procedures are made in the interest of what is
best for student learning and achievement whenever possible
• Collaborative
We believe in synergy (the whole is greater than the sum of the parts). People
working together to hammer out the details can do more than any one of us
can alone
We work to include processes that support collaborative efforts
• Partnership
We consider and welcome the knowledge and information parents, students,
and community leaders possess and include them in the process of achieving
the mission
RMS Initiatives
Communities Dedicated to Learning and
Achievement

Important Transitions
“Big Changes/Big Opportunities”
• Nervous and Anxious
You’re Not Alone! Most
worries are soon forgotten
and ‘strange’ will soon seem
‘normal’.
