Due to the mild December and January weather we have been experiencing this winter, the automatic Saturday School Plan for Yancey County Schools will be suspended at this time, according to a press release from Superintendent Dr. Tony Tipton. Yancey County Schools are currently ahead of last year’s days missed and school officials will continue to consider Saturday School as an option if the weather changes and students begin to miss excessive days. “Having students attend school on Saturdays will be decided on an as-needed basis”, according to Dr. Tipton. The announcement is in this week's Yancey Superintendent Report at www.yanceync.net and will also go out as an AlertNow phone call to all parents.
