GREAT NEWS!
CHECK OUT OUR PLAN TEST SCORES

What’s New at the TRIBE?

ITBS Scores are in. The Test results from the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills show Yutan Chieftains scoring higher than the National Average. These standardized tests measure student proficiency in Reading, Language, Math, Social Studies, Science and Sources of Information. A student who has a score of fifty is at the National Average. Our composite 7th Grade score is 69 and our composite 8th Grade score is 77! Way to go CHIEFTAINS.

SEMESTER 1 IS ALL BUT A MEMORY

Semester 1 may be all but a memory but the results are not. At the conclusion of our Fall semester, Chieftains recorded a phenomenal 95% academic success rate. 95% of the TRIBE passed EVERY CLASS! 65% of those students have been named to the CHIEFTAIN SEMESTER HONOR ROLL. Thanks to Parent Involvement, Teacher Support, Power School, Daily Study Hall Academy, Weekly Academic Study Hall and a NO ZERO approach to homework complacency the TRIBE continues to raise the bar. This is POW-WOW!

Mission Statement

Did You Know?

Yutan Public Schools, in partnership with the community, will strive to ensure that every student has the opportunity to excel in an environment where both academic and social skills are taught, nurtured, and demonstrated so that each student may become a productive member of society.

Sound familiar? This is our Schools Mission Statement! It is our job as educators and parents to have HIGH EXPECTATIONS and NO TOLERANCE for academic complacency and inappropriate behavior. The Chieftains are working hard at taking care of the little academic and social things that are part of preparing our student s for a successful life after High School.

Thanks in advance for your participation in being a supportive, informed and an involved Chieftain Parent.

Chieftain Pride, one mission statement at a time!

EXTRACURRICULAR FEE

Re: Participation Fee

Dear Parents,

Many Schools are faced with the raising costs of supporting extracurricular activities. To help continue the level of support our students deserve, Yutan High School is implementing a student fee for participants this school year.

This year Yutan students will have a participation fee for all individuals in any NSAA sanctioned activity that we compete in, not just sports. The 9-12 student fee is $30 not to exceed $60 per family. This covers all activities that an individual participates in, no matter if they are in one or multiple activities. If a student is on Free and Reduced Lunch, we will waive the fee if the Student Fee Waiver Form is completed and turned into the High School Office. Those forms are available upon request. Once the fee is paid or the Student Fee Waiver Form is completed, your student will be issued an activity card that will admit them to all home activities free of charge.

Thank you for your continued support of our school and our students! Please contact the school if you have any questions.

Chieftain Pride all the Time,

Yutan Administration
