The York County School Division believes having involved and informed families is critical to your child's success. Effective communication is critical to strong partnerships and engagement, we provide a variety of ways to communicate and engage with our community.
EngagedIN YCSD
One of the primary responsibilities of a school system is to prepare students for their future. After all, today's students are the computer experts, contractors, doctors, educators, entrepreneurs, and employees of tomorrow.
The EngagedIN YCSD program connects interested parents, community members and businesses with schools and students to share their career experiences or expertise with students.
There are multiple ways for individuals (working or retired) and businesses to help YCSD students make these Career Connections. To become involved, simply complete the EngagedIN form to share contact information, career field info, engagement interests, and availability.

The YCSD app helps families stay on top of what matters most. News and announcements, staff email directories, school and division notification, social media, calendar of events, menus, confidential bullying report, maps & directions, and more are accessible from your smart phone or tablet.

Contact Information
It is important for families to provide schools with your current/correct home address, phone number and email address (if applicable). Student contact forms will be provided to all families at the start of the school year. We request the form be returned as soon as possible so schools can reach you with important information.
Emergency Notification
Families will be notified of emergencies through the division’s rapid notification system. Families are encouraged to remain close to their source of communication, whether it is phone or email, to ensure they are receiving accurate and timely updates on the emergency from our school division staff.
Social Media Directory
In addition to the York County School Division website, we keep our community informed through multiple online platforms. Below is a list of the various social media accounts you can follow for the latest news and information. School groups and programs may also have additional accounts that can be found on multiple platforms. Be sure to like and follow us to stay in the know!
Aspen Family Portal
Families can also access private student information online through the Aspen Family Portal. This secure web-based information management system is password-protected and will help to make communication among students, families, teachers, and administrators more efficient. Families can use the Aspen Family Portal to view student schedules, assignments and grades, as well as daily attendance records and family contact information.
Account information is provided to families during the enrollment process. If you have not received account access information, please contact your child’s school for assistance.
