We have many exciting programs at Yates. On the first floor we focus on families with young children. There are regular OPS classes for Native American, Migrant, Special Education, and neighborhood pre-kindergarten age students. Additionally, the Family Resource Center provides an opportunity for mothers without daycare to attend ESL classes with their young children in tow. The second level of our building is dedicated to OPS Parental Involvement programming. Classes are provided to parents of OPS ESL, Migrant, and Refugee students to ensure parents are able to support their children's studies at home.
