Weekly News and Notes

A few updates from UHS this week:

Building Closed

The main office will be closed next week, as will the guidance office, reopening on January 2, 2019. Please be aware that many of our staff members and administration will be unplugging for the week to spend time with their families, so do not expect messages to be returned immediately. We will do our best to get back in the swing of things after we return from the break.

UHS Podcast

Our December Podcast has been posted on our Anchor Channel: https://anchor.fm/uxbridgehighschool/episodes/Spartan-Podcast-December-21-e2qcfn. The podcast is also available on nine different platforms for listening.

School Council Meeting This Week

At Thursday evening's School Council meeting, we had the pleasure of partnering with Jeannie Hebert, Executive Director/President of the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Mark Lyons, Consultant with AET Labs and Chamber Board Member, to discuss UHS' role in the Blackstone Valley Ed Hub, which has been an ongoing project and partnership with UHS, local industry, higher education, and the possibility of advanced training for both community members and students. We are quite excited about the opportunities that have already come our students' way through the development of our Innovation Pathways, which work hand-in-hand with the Ed Hub.

In the coming weeks and months, we hope to build more effective programs that enhance collaboration between our school and local industry, which will provide students and families with even more opportunities, particularly as students consider best paths after high school.

Week That Was

On behalf of everyone at UHS, we wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season, a safe and relaxing break, and all the best wishes for 2019!

Warmly,

Michael Rubin, Principal
