Yorktown schools announce back-to-school nights, SAT testing and athletics this week

A staff member for Yorktown schools announced Monday, Sept. 8, that back-to-school nights, SAT testing and a full slate of fall athletic events are scheduled across district campuses this week, with events beginning as soon as the next day. "I hope that everybody had a great first week back," the staff member said.

The announcement listed specific events and times: a back-to-school night for fifth-grade students at Crompond at 5 p.m. (described as beginning "tomorrow night" in the announcement); back-to-school nights for kindergarten and first-grade families at Brookside and Mohansek at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday; back-to-school activities for second- and third-grade students at Brookside and Mohansek (time not specified during the announcement); and Yorktown High School's back-to-school night at 7 p.m. Thursday. The staff member also said SAT testing will take place in the high school building on Saturday morning.

District officials urged families to consult the district website for the full athletic schedule. "Enjoy a home game," the staff member said, listing volleyball, soccer and football among fall sports offered. The announcement closed with the staff member saying, "Have a great week, Yorktown."

These were informational announcements rather than formal board actions; no motions or official votes were discussed. Families and caregivers seeking exact times, locations within buildings or additional details were directed to the Yorktown schools website for updates and the complete schedule.
