Message from Board Chair

Dear Students and Families,

It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the 2022-23 school year as Chair of the School Board of York County. Our mission of ensuring every student is valued, supported and challenged through learning experiences, which prepare them for a successful future is best accomplished when we work in partnership with families and students.

This Student Handbook and Conduct Code is an important tool, serving as the foundation for building a strong school-home relationship. For example, the About Us section contains information about the division's newly adopted Vision, Mission and Core Values to help you learn about our path forward over the next five years. You can learn more about who best to communicate with when you have a question, comment or concern in the Family Engagement & Communications section. Most importantly, the Conduct Code section outlines potential consequences of not adhering to student behavior expectations.

We encourage you to refer to this Handbook often to help understand the roles and responsibilities of the division, students, and families in supporting student success.

Sincerely,

Laurel Garrelts

Board Chair
