The Playing for Keeps Program pays the registration fees for families with an inability to pay.  It strives to give all children and youth the opportunity to experience the fun of being a child and to not be excluded from the activities their friends are enjoying.  Sports and recreational activities help children develop physical skills, get exercise, make friends, have fun, learn to play as a member of a team, and improve self-esteem.

We have been given the go-ahead to have students return to classes TOMORROW, April 25, 2013.

A Synervoice will be delivered to our families' homes today explaining some restrictions around the return to school. For YRPS students, we can confirm that transportation will be running as per usual for both Thursday (25th) and Friday (26th).

There will be restrictions with regard to student movement and access. Emergency officials in concert with the HPEDSB senior team are supportive of students returning to classes. Students are required to remain on school property when at school for both Thursday, April 25th and Friday, April 26th. Our main office will be happy to assist families with any requests to drop off/pick up students with appointments or other special arrangements. Principal Reid and Vice-Principal Mitchell will be on-site to handle any alternate requests.

We are grateful for your patience and understanding throughout this unusual situation in the Bancroft area.

For a third straight day, classes at YRPS have been cancelled due to dangerous flooding conditions in and around the Bancroft area.

We wish to remind families to keep themselves safe and continue to listen to local media reports for updates. NO STUDENTS SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY. Further follow us on Twitter (@YorkRiverPS) for up-to-the-minute announcements.

Decisions about a return to school on Thursday will be forthcoming.

Thanks for your patience and understanding - AND a commitment to student safety.

A terrific afternoon of hockey recently at the arena adjacent to our school.

Does it matter who won? Uh, of COURSE it does - if you're a staff member!

Staff 8, Students 7.

A big thanks to Mr. Mann for organizing the event, and to the student body for showing enthusiasm and respect when representing our school off-site.

The return of a very successful project...
