Weekly News and Notes

We do not have many updates from UHS after publishing our monthly newsletter. We would like to share an updated "Week That Was" video, which highlights so many of our awesome experiences happening in classes and with our students. We are grateful for the opportunities we have to share in their learning, to inspire students to aspire to greater outcomes, and to experience so many of their highs (and support during the lows) that come with their time at UHS.

As we turn the page to 2020, we will soon be at the end of the first semester, which means many teachers, when we return to class on January 2, will be pushing students to wrap up their grades. Likewise, we are starting to see more college acceptances roll in, and some of our seniors will start to make decisions for life beyond UHS. It is an exciting and busy time, indeed!

We do realize that winters can be challenging on some families, so if there are ways for us to support you, please reach out to administration or counselors.

We wish everyone a joyous holiday season, a restful week for those who have some time off, and happy, healthy 2020!

Weekly News and Notes

Some updates from UHS this week:

Second Quarter Progress Reports...

...will be delayed a couple of days. They were originally due to be posted the end of next week and will be available the week of 12/16. The end of the first semester will be on January 24, with half-days for mid-year exams scheduled for January 21-24.

If we have additional inclement weather, the potential is there to change those dates.

Holiday Event on Friday

Be on the lookout for footage and pictures from our Holiday Party event, the annual toy drive that brings in literally hundreds of toys for the needy. Our students, staff, and partners have been working very hard on transforming UHS into a Winter Wonderland!

The event is held at UHS on Friday, December 6 (tonight) from 5:30-8:30. Donations of a new toy and/or food item for Adopt-an-Angel and the People First Food Pantry are appreciated. There will be food, games, prizes, crafts, and Santa!

Breakfast with Santa

Our Class of 2020 is hosting Breakfast with Santa next Saturday, December 14, from 8-11. All proceeds will benefit the Class of 2020.


Finally, in the next couple of months, we will be providing information about our Innovation Pathways, potential updates to the Program of Studies, and the return of the UHS Podcast, which we have not produced yet this year. Our hope continues to be to bring you as much information as possible, particularly as we shift toward some of the important dates and deadlines that come with the second half of the year!
