We sure are proud of our students!

McKinley & YES students pair up to compete in a LifeSmarts competition - a fun fact filled National Game is one of the 16 events students can choose from.

Congratulations Karna and Nicci!

Special Recognition went to Nicci Seifert and Karna Johnson who have prepared students for MAAP STARS for 20+ years. Unfortunately their governing board has decided to close their program: YES: Youth Educational Services in Moorhead. Sorry to see the doors close which served so many students all these years. Thank you for all you did for students 💕

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear YES Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

Your student(s) will be informed this morning of an important decision that will be made March 9th.

On February 16th, our Executive Director, Jeremy Kovash, met with our staff to inform us that, due to financial difficulties, it is likely that Youth Educational Services (YES) will be closing June 30th, 2023. The board of directors will meet March 9th and it is expected that it will be a unanimous vote to close our program. Our staff at YES has been working on a plan to work with each of their advisees to get them to graduation, if possible, or to help them make a plan of where their next step toward graduation will be.

If you have questions regarding the school closing, please call Jeremy Kovash at 218-737-6542. If you have questions regarding your student's education plan, please email your student's advisor:

Karna [email protected]
Nicci [email protected]
Matthew [email protected]

A list of education options will be presented to and discussed with your students by their advisors and are also listed at the end of this letter.

Please know that we will do our best to help you and your student through this difficult time.

Sincerely,
YES Staff
