Let's talk about EAST!
EAST is an amazing opportunity for your child (at every Hope Public Schools campus) to learn how to solve problems in our school and community using technology and community resources! When they are not working on projects (solving problems), they are learning new technology, helping their peers, meeting with community partners, or learning basic skills such as sending an email. We are looking forward to seeing the amazing things students (3rd grade through 12th) are doing in Hope, AR!
Yerger Middle School EAST students have new adventures in learning. Students are exploring new software as they team up to conquer graphic designing.
YMS students are adjusting to the new cell phone policy. Second week of school, cell phones pouched and students are ready to learn.
Yerger Middle School has school spirit! Early this morning the Hope mascot decided to assist in flag and car duty. Way to go Bobcats!!
This is a NEW class at YMS to teach students the instruments of the rhythm section. Any student can join, even if they aren’t in band!

Hope Public Schools' Transportation Department will be in full swing beginning August 12, 2024. We would like our Community to please be aware of our students as they wait at the bus stops to load and unload their buses.
"IF YOU SEE FLASHING, NO PASSING!"
Arkansas law prohibits drivers from passing a stopped school bus that is picking up or dropping off passengers. This law is known as Isaac's Law, named after an elementary school student who was killed when a driver illegally passed his bus. Drivers who violate the law can face a fine of up to $2,500, up to 90 days in jail, and a driver's license suspension of up to one year.
Motorists should always follow the law and drive carefully - especially when driving in school zones and around school buses!
Never pass a school bus on the right-hand side, where children are loading and unloading.
Do you know YMS? Yerger Middle School provides students with a variety of activities! STEM/STEAM, EAST, Science Fair, Project Lead the Way, and more! Yerger also has partnerships with community groups and organizations such as the Henry C Yerger Museum and Yerger Alumni! Enter with a Promise, Exit with a Purpose!
YMS Open House -- August 8th.
