Beginning January 6, 2025, all YCSD schools will implement No Cell, Bell-to-Bell policies. Ensuring students have their personal devices off and away during the school day fosters a safe and healthy learning environment, where students can fully engage in their studies and interact meaningfully with their peers and teachers.

Each year, the federal government requires school divisions to survey every family to identify students who are federally connected. The information gathered through the confidential Impact Aid survey directly impacts the amount of funding YCSD receives. These funds are essential for providing teachers, support staff with textbooks, classroom computers, library books and other supplies and equipment needed to prepare every child for a successful future. 

The U.S. Department of Education has recognized Bethel Manor Elementary School (BMES) as an Exemplary High-Performing School with a 2024 National Blue Ribbon award. The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes public and private elementary, middle and high schools for their overall excellence and progress toward closing achievement gaps.

The York County School Division is partnering with the Virginia Department of Education to host viewings of the fireside chat followed by a community conversation. Families, students, and staff are invited to participate in these events.
