Some updates from UHS this week:
From the Boosters:
The Booster Club sends out a huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped man the gate and concession stands during the football season. It takes about 20-25 volunteers a game. We cannot THANK YOU enough for all your help! We have the most dedicated volunteers. We couldn't do it without you.

Keep an eye out for opportunities for volunteers for Basketball Season.
...And To the Boosters:
Thank you to our amazing Booster club officers, volunteers, and committed parents, some of whom are there every step of the way and meeting, and others who volunteer their time and energy in different ways, all of whom contribute so much to the fabric of our Spartan community! Because of your effort, in part, we had the ability to sponsor two fan buses to the state championship, the cost of which, given transportation rates and the mileage to Chicopee, was significant. We appreciate it!
Reaccreditation Visit
Our reaccreditation visit will be taking place from December 2-December 5. During that time, we will have a committed group of 12 educators and colleagues coming from around New England to evaluate our school and its adherence to the standards of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Our self-study, which we completed last year, was submitted to NEASC a few weeks ago, and we have more than 60 sets of student work, dozens of pieces of evidence, and hundreds of hours of work invested in demonstrating our commitment to these high standards and reflecting on continuous improvement. In particular, we want to thank our Steering Committee co-chairs, Nicole Yakstis and Molly Hendrickx, who have worked tirelessly to organize evidence, work with teachers, and ensure consistency.
In the past couple of years, we have had several teachers and administrators participate in evaluation visits around New England, which has helped us prepare for our own visit. Emily Charpentier, Natalie Daverio, Angela Woislaw, Michael DiMeglio, Nicole Yakstis, Molly Hendrickx, Mary Guilmette, and I have all participated in the process as visiting team members.
We will receive the findings of the visit in the spring, which will publicly released after the final draft is approved and voted on by the Commission on Public Secondary Schools.
We look forward to the team's findings, including the validation of much of our efforts and commitment to improving in the future.
Parent Conferences
Thank you to so many of the parents who took time to conference with teachers on Thursday night. We hope to reach out to parents and families who were unable to make the evening meeting in order to facilitate some productive conversations. We hope to be accessible on a consistent basis, so please reach out to us if you have any questions or needs. With first quarter grades released, this is typically a good time for students to refocus their energy and make adjustments - or to continue their success!
Week that Was
Here's a look at the Week that Was - a busy week that featured Cake Wars, Honor Bowl, many academic successes, and our girls soccer team's amazing run to the State Semifinals!
