Weekly News and Notes, March 26

 We have a couple of updates from UHS this week.

Reopening

Thank to everyone who attended our meetings on reopening this week, including staff, students, and families. We have been engaged in studying details, looking at rosters, and working with our facilities team to ensure that we are ready for the week of April 5.

We have some challenges ahead of us, but we know that we are capable and ready to tackle these head on. We appreciate the questions and feedback that some people have shared with us, so feel free to contact us if you have any outstanding needs or concerns.

Grade 7 Open Houses

We will be meeting with Whitin students in grade 7 come early April as well, as we start the process of orientation to UHS for our Class of 2026. If families have not signed up for a self-guided tour, please do so. The link was sent to all grade 7 families via email.

If you still have questions, feel free to contact us at any time.

No School: April 2

There is no school on Friday, April 2, as it is Good Friday. As such, there will be no Weekly Update sent next Friday.

School Council Openings

We will have openings on our School Council for next year for both student and parent members. Our School Council typically meets monthly, and the group helps establish school improvement goals, supports budget development, and assists with defining some of our initiatives, as well as approving the Program of Studies and Student Handbook. If at all interested, contact Mr. Rubin directly.

Finally, it is hard to believe that this is, by the count on this blog site, my 500th post since arriving at UHS. We continue to make a commitment to communicating the good, the bad, and the in-between about Uxbridge High School, and we hope that these weekly updates continue. I thought about writing something poignant about the number - 500 posts is quite a bit - but decided against it. We do know that the communication may, at times, seem overwhelming, but our plan is continue sharing information as needed: via email, blog, podcast, video - to meet the needs of this community and so nobody can claim a lack of information!

We will be in touch next week with more details about reopening. To those who are celebrating, we wish you a Happy Passover.
