SUMMER COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS: Any YLHS student including incoming 9th graders may earn community service hours during the summer. A Parent Permission slip is not needed before earning service hours. Incoming 9th graders' parent or guardian will give their permission on the Aeries Parent Portal before attending Back To School Days. Hours earned over the SUMMER must be turned in during Back to School Days or by September 30th of the current school year. Turn in your completed community service form to the College Career Center located in the YLHS library. Please allow 4 weeks for your form to be processed and logged into Aeries.

SENIORS must complete their Community Service hours and return their verification sheet to the Student Services Office or to Mrs. Ornelas in the College and Career Center before May 1st of their senior year. If a senior does not verify by May 1st they will not graduate or be able to walk during the graduation ceremony.
