PAWS students who were caught following expectations or going above and beyond!
YPS is excited about our Career Exploration class for the 7th and 8th grade. They are currently working in the construction trade. They have been learning how to read a tape measure, hammer and nail, and how to use a power drill. Thank you Central Tech for making this program possible.
Yale Public Schools would like to thank the Stillwater Police Department and all Payne County law enforcement agencies for donating 2 emergency kits to YPS, one for each site. We appreciate your generosity, support, and protection.

From Coyle, in regard to the Thursday night football game:
We look forward to hosting you, your team, and your community Thursday evening.
We have designated the evening Langston Appreciation Night. Langston Universities Band will be on campus that evening and will be performing at half time. It is quite a show but it does dramatically increase attendance.
We charge $7 for admission but fans may purchase tickets online at our GoFan page for $6 ($5 ticket + $1 fee). I highly recommend this option. It saves a little money and gets them through the gate faster.

Staff Spotlight of the week, Emily Nickell! Join us in celebrating our wonderful staff!
Birthday: August 27th
Favorite Snack: Cheese Its
Favorite drink: Coffee, Coke Zero (really anything zero!)
Favorite sweet treat: gummies of all kinds
Hobbies: Reading
Fun fact about Emily: I won't start a book series unless all of them are published because I hate waiting for the next book to come out.
About Emily: "I have been in education for 18 years, with eleven of those spent in the classroom teaching everything from Kindergarten to high school. I’m about to begin my eighth year at Yale. My husband is also in education and serves as the superintendent at Olive Public Schools.
We have a sophomore son, Gavin, who attends Olive, twins, Rallie and Wes, who will be in seventh grade at Cushing Middle School, and Eisley, who will be starting sixth grade there as well. Outside of school, I’m a busy sports mom, cheering on my kids in softball, basketball, wrestling, football, cross country, and anything else they decide to try. I love reading, traveling with my family, and finding new coffee shops to try."
