Dear Parents/Guardians:
As you may or may not be aware, we are hosting our accreditation visit from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, which will take place from December 2-5, 2018. During the visit, a visiting team of educators will be meeting with faculty, administration, central office, parents, and students, observing classes, and conferencing with different teams in order to get a full picture of life at UHS.
Some students will also be shadowed as part of the visit. With student shadowing, each member of the visiting team will be assigned a student, all of whom have different classroom experiences in the building, which will enable the team members to observe a number of classes, levels, and experiences at UHS. The responsibility of those students is merely to chat informally with the team members, escort them to class, and, generally, to be the kind and respectful Uxbridge High School Spartans that we know them to be. No personal information about specific students is disclosed by the school in any way, other than our students’ names, grade in school, and course schedules. Team members are likewise bound by confidentiality agreements in terms of what they discuss as part of the visit.
Over the course of the week, our entire school community will be an open book, in which students will be asked questions about what they learn in class, our core values and learning expectations, ways that teachers assess student learning, and the resources we have in place to support students. The team members come from a variety of schools across New England, and we are excited to share our students’ experiences, our culture and community, our successes, and areas for growth with this team.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to school administration or any of your student’s teachers.
Sincerely,
Michael Rubin, Principal
Uxbridge High School
