York Prep Family,

It's almost time to begin the 2023-24 school year! Check out the following videos and information for drop-off, pick-up, and student parking for the 2023-24. We can't wait to welcome our Patriots on campus!

SchoolPass: SchoolPass is a new program that York Prep is launching to help expedite and streamline the pick up process. Parents will receive their SchoolPass pick-up signs at Back to School Night for grades K5-8th. To make pickup easier, SchoolPass allows parents to make updates from the app regarding pickup plans. No more last minute office calls or remembering to send notes to the classroom!
