Saturday, May 22 accounts for the end of the year testing dates as well as the hours and manpower the project curator will need to install a quality exhibition. We want to ensure our XTH community has the luxury to visit and savor this end of the year celebration.

Advance RSVP is required. Our XTH community can RSVP using the invitation link we will send to our LISTSERV, beginning the week of May 3rd. Both students and parents must RSVP to gain entrance into the school May 22. The session hours of YETI-CON will be from 9:30 – 11:30 pm and from 1:30 – 3:30 pm. You will indicate your preference through your RSVP.

A majority of installations will be available to view via this gallery website; however, some recordings of any live presentations will not be available until after May 22.

Although some works may remain up, YETICON is a singular event without any repeat performances or networking opportunities.

Submit to a temperature check at the school entrance (anyone with a temperature over 100.4 will not be allowed to enter)

Face coverings: Wear a mask over both the nose and mouth at all times

Physical distancing: Wherever possible, all visitors must abide physical distancing guidelines—maintaining a six-foot distance from others not part of your visiting group.

We reserve the right to require visitors who do not follow our face covering and physical distancing guidelines to leave the premises immediately. Any visitors who are disrespectful or discourteous to other guests, staff, or volunteers—or engage in behaviors that are disruptive of others’ enjoyment of the installations, blocking pathways, or soliciting —may also be asked to leave.

In addition to selected student work throughout our school’s gallery space, we will have live music performances, a pop-up Bazaar with student merchandise for purchase, and an intimate networking fair with community partners and local colleges.

YETI-CON is not for a grade. There are presentations of learning in each class that students should fulfill, demonstrating that they have satisfied the requirements to pass that class. The Project Curator does not grade work. A curator helps develop and receive work that is finished and ready to present.

Every student has an equal opportunity to participate in YETI-CON by submitting quality work; however, there are certain parameters that are in place to ensure quality work is received. May 7 is a marker all teachers are using to wrap up work for the semester. May 14th is the FINAL deadline by which work will be received. Students who are able to meet these markers will have work in YETICON.

Teachers will take the aforementioned deadlines and qualifications into consideration as they submit a list of pre-selected students on track to assignment/project completion in time for YETI-CON.

You will receive communication from your Project Curator and individual teacher(s) beginning the week of May 3rd. Your Project Curator will contact you with the necessary steps to submit all materials needed for project installation. 

If you want to be in YETI-CON, but are unsure you have been pre-selected, be proactive and contact the teacher of the class whose work you would like to submit to the Project Curator.

No. You will submit all of your presentation of learning materials, albeit a pre-recorded presentation, powerpoint, or artifacts by May 14th. 

If you would prefer to present in person, please contact Ms. Danielle Tyler: danielle.tyler@crosstownhigh.org

HA! No. Until you have satisfied your teacher’s presentation of learning requirements (your final work)…. You got work to do.

FRIDAY, MAY 14, 2021

Yes, YETI-CON is not mandatory. Have you ever known a celebration that was? Probably wasn’t that fun, huh?

Student work will be installed throughout the entire school space and featured on our Crosstown High Gallery website. Once admitted, all visitors will be provided materials for self guided tours of the work led by wayfinding markers throughout the school.

If you have been working on anything outside of class for a club or on your own, your Project Curator wants to honor that time you put in! Please Contact Ms. Danielle Tyler: danielle.tyler@crosstownhigh.org.
