Principal's Message
Dear Y.E.S. Families,
On behalf of the entire staff at Yorktown Elementary School, it is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to a new school year! My name is Stephanie Zigmond, and I am both honored and overjoyed to serve as principal for the 2025-2026 school year.
It is with deep gratitude and enthusiasm that I continue my journey at YES. Since beginning my career in education in 2010, I have had the privilege of serving children and families in many different ways—as a teacher, a literacy coach, an assistant principal, and now as principal. Each role has brought me closer to my goal of fostering a learning environment that is both safe and fun for all learners. I am committed to leading a school that prioritizes academic excellence while celebrating creativity, curiosity, and joy.
Yorktown Elementary is known for offering a wide range of enriching opportunities that support the whole child—from strong academic programs to engaging extracurricular activities. My goal is to preserve and strengthen these experiences, ensuring that every student thrives and feels proud to be part of our school community.
We believe that a strong home-school connection is essential to a child’s growth and success. As principal, I am dedicated to open communication, maintaining a safe and welcoming environment, and holding high expectations for every learner. I look forward to meeting each of you and working together to make this a truly fantastic year.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your children and this community. I am proud to be part of the Wildcat family—and I can’t wait to see all we accomplish together this school year!
Let’s… Level Up and Lead—GO CATS GO!
