< Back Spartan Jam 2024 We are excited to welcome new Spartans into the York Tech community! As part of our orientation activities, we will be conducting New Student Day and Spartan JAM on Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024, for all new students entering Grades 9-10. These students will be transported to York Tech via the regular bus schedule. The day will be broken into two parts. In the morning, students will meet new friends and prepare for a successful school year by participating in our Spartan JAM program. The second part of the day will include a complete schedule walk through, which will give students opportunities to interact with their teachers and classmates. Upon arrival, students will report to their technical area for a light breakfast, important document and material distribution, and an overview of the day’s schedule. (Faculty and staff will help students locate their technical areas.) Afterward, students will report to their assigned classrooms to meet their Spartan JAM leaders and teammates. Spartan JAM is a high-energy learning adventure during which the Class of 2028 (along with new students entering Grade 10) will gain an experiential understanding of collaboration, communication, trust and support, creative problem solving, effective decision making, and leading and following. Students will be divided into teams and complete a large number of fun activities. Teams find ways to manage time, work together, value differences, utilize resources, and celebrate successes. At the conclusion of Spartan JAM and prior to the schedule walk through, students will be provided lunch, issued their school laptop (if they did not already receive it during Back-to-School Night), and participate in a gallery walk of all the sports and clubs York Tech has to offer. Lunch will be free of charge for all students, and it will consist of cold cut sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Alternate choices will be available for those with special dietary restrictions. In order to prepare for the activities planned, we ask students to: Wear closed-toe, active footwear/sneakers and weather appropriate pants. While shorts are a violation of the York Tech dress code during the school year, they are permitted on Aug. 20. Wear the free Spartan JAM shirt. Students who do not pick up their shirt at Back-to-School Night will receive one on Aug. 20. It is our hope that students will use the lessons learned on this day and become a valuable contributor to the positive learning environment at York Tech. Additionally, new students will be comfortable and motivated to begin the year after gaining a clear understanding of what it means to be a York Tech Spartan. We are looking forward to the New Student Day and Spartan JAM on Aug. 20! Please contact the High School Office with any questions about these events. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ¡Estamos emocionados de dar la bienvenida a los nuevos Spartans a la comunidad de York Tech!

Se necesitan entrenadores de fútbol — York Tech y York Country Day School se asocian para ofrecer equipos de fútbol para estudiantes de ambas escuelas. Los equipos de fútbol femenino y masculino necesitan entrenadores para el curso escolar 2025-26. Los posibles solicitantes deben comunicarse con el director de atletismo de York Country Day School, Uriah Goldfinger, al ugoldfinger@ycds.org . Expedientes académicos para la universidad — Los estudiantes del último año que hayan sido aceptados en la universidad deben visitar la Oficina de Consejería Escolar para informar a la Sra. Kasten. Esta información es necesaria para poder enviar las transcripciones finales durante el verano. Comunicación de verano — Una vez que termina el año escolar y comienzan las vacaciones de verano, la Revisión Espartana se distribuirá según sea necesario cuando haya información nueva o importante para compartir. Normalmente, la Revisión Espartana vuelve a su distribución semanal a principios de agosto. Fuel Your Future York Tech has been helping to shape students' futures since 1969.
