YARMOUTH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

Good morning. Yarmouth High School, Frank Harrison Middle School, and Yarmouth Elementary School are each without power at this time. Work crews are on site in Yarmouth to restore electricity soon, and schools are operating with some minor adjustments. We’ll let you know when power is restored. These outages have also disabled our phones and Internet. Thank you for your patience.

There will be a two-hour delay to the start of schools in Yarmouth today (Tuesday, February 8). YHS and HMS will start at 10:00, and YES and Rowe will start at 10:40, with buses running two hours later than normal. The school day will end at the normal time this afternoon.

QUICKER FIX THAN ANTICIPATED! Yarmouth's WHITE line bus run will be only 20 minutes later than normal today - we hope this reduces the stress of rescheduling for folks.

YARMOUTH SCHOOLS: The White Line bus run for elementary students is experiencing delays due to mechanical issues this morning (Friday, 1/14/22). That run will be 45 minutes late. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we have no other buses to use at this time.

There will be no school in Yarmouth today, Friday, January 7, due to the impending storm. With this closure, the final student day for the 2021-2022 school year is moved to Wednesday, June 15.

Yarmouth Schools staff and families are encouraged to check email for an important message from Dr. Dolloff. Schools reopen tomorrow with an uptick of COVID-19 cases being reported, and the importance of following health and safety protocols at school will be paramount.

Yarmouth Schools will be closed Wednesday, December 22 due to the shaky forecast for ice throughout the morning. With this closure, the final day of the student year is moved to Tuesday, June 14.

We apologize for the bad link in that previous message from the Yarmouth Schools. Here's the bus safety tip sheet: https://www.napt.org/files/NSBSW/Bus%20Stop%20Safety%20Tips-2016update.pdf

​Please join us in recognizing School Bus Safety Week, and at the same time thank our drivers for transporting students to and from school safely! This helpful memo from the National Association of Pupil Transportation provides some good reminders about bus safety: https://www.napt.org/files/NSB... Enjoy the day - and ride safely!​

Yarmouth bus schedules for Yellow, Red, and Purple lines will remain on today's altered schedule for the rest of this week. Thank you for your flexibility as we deal with a staffing shortage.

Due to a shortage of drivers, Yarmouth Schools have to make adjustments to Tuesday's (Oct. 12) bus schedules for students on the YELLOW, RED, and PURPLE LINES. For K-4 students: Yellow line students west of Main St will be picked up and dropped off by Red line. Yellow line students can expect to be picked up 10-15 minutes later than usual. (Red line pickup should be close to regular time.) Yellow line students east of Main St will be picked up and dropped off by Purple line. This run will be approximately 10 - 15 minutes late for all students. For 5-12 students: Students who ride the Red or Orange line in the morning will take that same line home in the afternoon (there will be no Yellow line in the afternoon).

It has been confirmed that the odor at YES was caused by construction equipment. That equipment has been relocated and students are returning to classes.

Yarmouth Elementary School has been evacuated due to a gas odor in the building. We believe this is construction-related, but YFD has been dispatched to the school and is taking readings to ensure the building is secure before students return to classes. Updates to be provided.

White Line elementary students will be dropped off approximately 30 minutes late this afternoon, due to driver shortages in the Yarmouth School Department. Thank you for your continued patience.
