First, thank you to all the grade 8 families and students who attending the Open House we hosted. We hope the information was helpful and that you left UHS with a better understanding of our courses, activities, programs, and opportunities.
As promised, the presentation and resources that we shared are linked on the high school webpage. Under the "Academics" tab, click on "Scheduling" or follow this link: https://sites.google.com/a/uxbridge.k12.ma.us/the-uxbridge-high-school/scheduling
As for the rest of the process, on Monday we will be meeting with the grade 8 students at McCloskey Middle School and distributing course selection sheets. Students will then work with their teachers to identify classes, and the week after February vacation, we will take the course selection sheets and input courses, including electives. Our hope would be for our counselors and administration to also drop in periodically over the next few months at McCloskey to get to know the students better.
In April, we will host a "Step-Up Day" here at UHS, where the students will tour the building while classes are in session, hear from a student panel, and get a sense of what a "real" day at UHS is like. Before school starts, in August, we will have a more formal orientation, which will include iPad distribution and some insight into class schedules, the first weeks of school, etc.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for entrusting your students to us, and, again, we appreciate the feedback and support!
