YPA
The York School Parents’ Association (YPA) plays a large part in contributing to this vibrant community. The YPA is a volunteer organization that conducts events that increase school spirit and camaraderie. The YPA also encourages volunteerism and raises funds to support the school. All parents and guardians of current students are automatically members of the YPA.
Full information about the YPA, who we are, what we do, and how you can get involved, is available on the school intranet YorkNet.

The YPA is very excited to present Amy Faba.
Ruler tools and SEL:
The RULER program and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) are a cornerstone of how we approach well-being through a learning lens at the Junior School. At this Coffee Connects, we will discuss a variety of topics related to school life and home life and how the language and tools of our program promote belonging, self-regulation and emotional curiosity.
Meet with Amy Faba, Junior School Counselor, and other parents to learn the language and tools of the RULER and SEL program used throughout the Junior School.
