Youth’s Benefit Elementary School is thrilled to welcome students and families back for an exciting new school year filled with opportunity, connection, and Gator pride! Under the theme One Team, One Dream, YBES is hosting a series of back-to-school events to help students and families transition smoothly into the 2025-2026 school year.
🟢 PTA Kindergarten Play Date – August 27, 4:00–5:30 PM
Incoming kindergarten students and their families are invited to the Primary Playground to meet new friends and connect with other Gator families before the first day of school. It’s a relaxed, fun way to begin the school year journey together!
🟢 Sneak-a-Peek – Explore the Building!
Primary (PK, K, 1, 2): August 27 | 5:30–6:30 PM
Intermediate (3, 4, 5): August 28 | 5:30–6:30 PM
During this informal event, families are welcome to walk the halls, peek into classrooms, and drop off school supplies outside classroom doors. Please note: teachers will not be present during Sneak-a-Peek.
🟢 Back to School Night – Parents Only
Primary Grades (PK, K, 1, 2): September 9
Intermediate Grades (3, 4, 5): September 11
Each evening includes two sessions (5:30–6:00 PM and 6:15–6:45 PM) so parents with multiple children can attend both. Teachers will share important information about curriculum, expectations, and how families can partner with the school for a successful year. Students should not attend this event.
As always, we are proud to kick off another year with our strong school community. Together, let’s make this year the best one yet—because at YBES, we are One Team, One Dream! 💚🖤💫
