Good evening,
On Thursday, March 7, we welcomed the grade 7 students (our future Class of 2024) to UHS for tours and a presentation from administration and students. In my years in Uxbridge, I have to admit that I thought today's visit was one of the better ones I have attended, with many students from grades 8, 9 and 10 serving as tour guides and then providing some insight for the students as part of a "panel presentation." We had about 18 students providing perspectives on their year at UHS, which helped validate much of the work we have done in transitioning the school to an 8-12 model. One year later, our students gave the students a great deal of information on everything from technology use in class, to independence in the building, to the best ways to navigate the building, to ways students can get involved.
Next Wednesday, on March 13 at 6:00 p.m., we look forward to hosting the Class of 2024's parents and guardians, as we look to provide parents with a similar experience. In addition to touring the building and hearing about all the exciting things we have to offer students, both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities, we will have department leaders available to share insight about course sequences, opportunities, and other questions that families may have. We will have representatives from clubs, activities, and athletics, and we will hope to assuage many of the concerns or questions that families have. As we indicated to the students, while the night focuses on parents, students are welcome to attend.
We will also be scheduling a couple of parent coffees later in March and in April to also provide parents with a forum.
We look forward to hosting you next week and hope you can join us!
Sincerely,
Michael Rubin, Principal
Uxbridge High School
