At the end of the 2008-09 school year, Yale was chosen by the district to become an Expeditionary Learning School. Expeditionary Learning (EL) is a curriculum designed to promote critical thinking skills and habits, academic achievement and personal development through in-depth investigations. EL brings experts into the classroom, takes students into the field, and engages students in real world learning experiences. Along with Yale, Tollgate Elementary and William Smith High School are also Expeditionary Learning schools.

The school day for all K-5 students is from 9:35-4:05. The first bell rings at 9:30 so students are in class, ready to begin learning at 9:35. There is no playground supervision before 9:20, so please make sure your child does not arrive before then.
On days students will be lining up inside the building before school because of cold or wet weather, there will be a yellow flag displayed on the front of the building, near the office.
If you are enrolling a new student at Yale, or if you need to update your address, you will need to go to one of the Aurora Public Schools Centralized Admission Offices.

Yale worked hard during the 2008-09 school year to develop a vision that captures the passions, commitments, and aspirations of ournstaff, students and families. This circle is continuous, supportive, and inclusive of all our values.
In support of our vision, the district has committed to funding our work with Expeditionary Learning for the next three years. Be sure to check back for more updates on our progress and growth as we continue to adapt principles and practices of Expeditionary Learning!
Additionally, the Yale staff has partnered with the PEBC in 2008-09 with great success. This partnership will continue at Yale during the 2009-10 school year, and is very complimentary to our work as an Expeditionary Learning school.
