A Message from YCS Superintendent David Furletti
Earlier this morning, Tuesday, April 1, 2025, York Central School and a part of the surrounding community experienced a power outage. Our generators were activated to provide emergency lighting, and the cafeterias were able to continue preparing lunches.
Instruction and student supervision continued until power was restored at approximately 10:10 a.m. Normal operations resumed.
Thank you to our faculty and staff for seamlessly responding to the power outage.
Big thanks to Mr. Pete Robinson (YCS 2024 retiree) who has been back at York Elementary School since January.
On his final day, Mr. Robinson read a book to the students called, "Thank you, Mr. Falker," by Patricia Polacco. The students wrote him thank you notes! His last day concluded with everyone enjoying cookies and juice to celebrate Mr. Robinson filling our buckets this semester.
Today, we welcomed Mrs. Moliterni back to YES!
Drum roll, please!.
Congratulations to the Elementary School students who received the March Character Award for Positivity!

York Students Learn Empathy and Understanding from Holocaust Learning Day
Students in grades 8-12 participated in a unique educational experience. Middle-High School Social Studies Teacher Ben Chatley developed a Holocaust Learning Day, which included classroom activities and testimonies from Holocaust survivors. It was the first of its kind to happen at York CSD.
There were several goals of the Holocaust Learning Day, including helping students develop a greater understanding of the impact that hate and persecution had on minority groups around the world. Classroom discussions centered around how young people and adults can resist and prevent hatred in our schools, community, and beyond.
Teachers facilitated the classroom learning activities, which included watching video accounts of individuals who endured the Holocaust. Some of them were fortunate to survive; sadly, many did not. Many survivors emigrated to the United States and other European countries and built successful lives.
In classroom discussions, many students said that the program broadened their knowledge of the Holocaust and they had a better understanding of the impacts of hate toward persecuted groups.
After the classroom activities, all students gathered in the auditorium, to hear emotional testimonies from two people whose families were Holocaust survivors.
Map skills - because you never know when the GPS is not going to work...
