Greetings,
We are eagerly approaching our first day of school with students next week! Our week of preparation and learning as a staff this week was reflective, inspiring, and, most importantly, grounded in building relationships, as we seek to start the 2018-19 school year on a positive note. We look forward to seeing our Spartans back this year with a renewed focus and commitment to excellence and inspired learning.
Please remind all students that lockers have changed. They should check schedules on iPass, as we have changed all student lockers in reconfiguring. Grade 8 and 9 students accessed lockers at orientation, so upperclassmen should be aware of new locations. Also, some teachers have moved within the building, so please be aware of classroom locations. We have emailed lunch schedules to students as well.
One of our themes for the year will be for our education to be "REAL": grounded in relationships, engagement, active/authentic learning, and love for what we're doing. We are hoping to provide more opportunities for students to own their learning, to explore topics of interest, and to find real-world purpose to continue learning as they seek to enter life beyond UHS. Most importantly, we have a renewed commitment to tackle these challenges together, as we welcome grade 8 to UHS and take new steps in ensuring the Class of 2019 is ready for the post-secondary world.
On a challenging note, next week's forecast promises to be hot. We do have a water filling station in the building, as well as traditional water fountains/bubblers. We urge students to bring a refillable water bottle for hot days, and we will do our best to manage hot conditions.
We look forward to partnering with you for the coming school year. As always, if we can be of any assistance, do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Michael Rubin, Principal
Uxbridge High School
