YIES 2020-2021 Structure Communication

Dear Parents and Community Members,
Decisions for the classroom and enrollment structure at YIES are carefully evaluated before making decisions. Our team worked closely with a YIES Focus Group, which consisted of parents and staff members, to help make decisions about the direction of our school.
This process includes:
-
Fiscal sustainability factors.
-
Enrollment trends such as student matriculation, returning students, siblings, and new students.
-
A maximum number of students allowed in a classroom (teacher: child ratio).
-
Building Infrastructure.
Having considered all of those as mentioned above, the YIES classroom and grade level structure for the 2020-2021 school year is as follows:
1- Young 5’s
3- Kindergarten
2- First Grade
3- Second Grade
3- Third Grade
3- Fourth Grade
3- Fifth Grade
YIES enrollment has continued to grow each year, and we have now maximized the number of classrooms available to serve students. The decision to permanently discontinue the preschool program at YIES, effective June 12, 2020, was difficult; however, a necessary outcome to make room for currently enrolled students transitioning to the next grade level, as well as consideration of the financial demands required to maintain an affordable and high-quality preschool program.
Currently enrolled preschool students will transition to Young 5’s, or Kindergarten during the 2020-2021 school year. Preschool students who do not meet the State age requirements to transition to Young 5’s or Kindergarten will be grandfathered into YIES, which means a Young 5’s, or Kindergarten slot will be reserved for the student for the upcoming school year.

Application Process for the 2020 - 2021 School Year
Washtenaw International High School
Application Process for the 2020 - 2021 School Year
Dear YIES 5th-grade families,
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) partner school with Washtenaw International Middle Academy (WIMA), we want to share important dates and details about the 6th-grade WIMA Application Process for the 2020-2021 school year. We hope you can join us at the WIMA Admissions Info Night on January 8th @ 6pm where you can learn about WIMA's caring, diverse, and academically-focused learning community! The application opens tomorrow, Friday, November 8th and closes February 7th. For more information about WIMA & WIHI, please visit our website (wihi.org) and view this informational video.
YIES students who apply prior to the deadline have priority into WIMA after siblings (State Policy) are admitted. Since we have limited seats (64 total), we will likely have a lottery for the seats available for WIMA 6th grade students. Please review the dates and application details attached and contact admissions coordinator, Kelly Cartwright (KCartwright@wihi.org) with any questions.
We look forward to welcoming you to our school community!
Sincerely,
Ms. Do
Nhu Do, Principal
