Weekly News and Notes

Good afternoon,

We have a few updates from UHS this week!

Junior Parent Night

College Night for Juniors will be held on Wednesday, January 30 in the auditorium, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The snow date is February 5. We expect the presentation, which covers the college application and financial aid process from a UHS perspective, will take until about 8:00 p.m. We also will review the work that our counselors will be completing in classes with students over the next few months to have them ready for the post-secondary process, including starting college essays and application data.

We hope you can join us!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to so many of our winter track athletes on their performances at last week's state Freshman-Sophomore meet. Medalists included Stephen Sanches (1000), Colin Caso (2-mile), and Abby Deary (1000), while Iyonna Dinsmore captured a championship in the shot put while setting a new school record!

Senior Acceptances

As college acceptances come in, we hope to post as many as we can to our wall in the main foyer. However, our information is only as good as the info that students bring to us. As acceptances for colleges are learned, please have students bring those to guidance so we can include them. We have heard some complaints that schools are not posted, but we cannot post information that we don't know!

Scheduling for Next Year

Be on the lookout in the coming week or so regarding our scheduling calendar for students in grades 8-11, including our Program of Studies review nights and other presentations. We hope that many of you will be able to join us to learn about the many great academic opportunities we have at UHS.

New Podcast!

From Mr. Barros, our digital media teacher, we are excited to be adding another Podcast to our library of media coming from UHS. The topics of "School Talk" are generated by students and about students, but not necessarily about school, per se. The channel can be accessed at: https://anchor.fm/school-talk.



Memory Project

Thanks to Ms. Struppa and her art students for their collaboration with the Memory Project, an international organization that helps use art to spread goodwill and happiness to students in war-torn, destitute, or otherwise compromised parts of the world. The video below highlights our students' work!
