🚍 Stop Means Stop! 🚍
When a school bus extends its stop arm and the red lights are flashing, all drivers must stop—whether you’re behind the bus or approaching from the opposite direction (unless there’s a divided highway).
These few seconds of patience protect children as they get on and off the bus. Let’s all do our part to keep our students safe! ❤️

🎉 Celebrating 150 Years of the Yankton School District! 🎉
This year marks the 150th Anniversary of YSD, and each week we’ll share a special “Monday Memory” highlighting our district’s history.
📸 Pictured below: Brown School (photo courtesy of the Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan) and Trailhead Learning Center.
🏫 Brown School — Built in 1866, it housed our very first students and stood on the southwest corner of Walnut & 4th Street (former Yankton Post Office site). It predates the official establishment of the Yankton School District.
🌟 Trailhead Learning Center — Our newest school, home to our youngest learners, where future journeys begin.
This year, we’re honoring YSD’s oldest traditions while looking ahead to bright new beginnings. ❤️📚
