Covid is an ever changing situation. The illness is so fluid that it is extremely difficult to contact trace and keep everyone informed with accurate information. Yale Schools wants to be as transparent as possible so that parents can make informed decisions about the safety of their children. YPS currently has 11 students in the JH/HS that have tested positive within the last 10 days. YPS will continue to contact parents as best and as quickly as possible. We encourage anyone that has questions or concerns to please call the school. 918-387-2118. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
