Families

FAMILY SUPPORT AND RESOURCES: Parents, students, teachers, and the community benefit from Yorktown's Parent Ambassador. Yorktown hosts town hall meetings throughout the school year to open dialogue with parents and the community to disseminate pertinent information and updates relevant to the school and provide opportunities for parents to engage in two-way communication with the school.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS: Volunteers and staff tutor students in preparation for various assessments of Ohio's New Learning Standards. Directions for Youth and Families, SOS (Signs of Suicide), Project Mentor along with Nationwide Children's Hospital support Yorktown with programming focusing on peer pressure, conflict resolution and healthy choices, and diversity awareness. Other agency support groups include Raw Yoga 614, Big Brother/Big Sister, and other young men's and women's groups. AEP is a sponsor for Project Mentor and Community Care Day, affectionately known as Children's Day. Our school through our district higher education partnerships, partners with placements for future teachers with The Ohio State University, Capital University, Ohio Dominican University, and Ashland University. Yorktown is a Professional Development School, in which future teachers develop alongside current teachers learning content that enables them to teach at the highest level helping students reach greater levels of academic achievement.
