Weekly News and Notes, June 4

Only a couple updates this week from UHS, as we finish preparations for Saturday's graduation!

Schedules for 2021-22

Our counselors are working diligently on finalizing schedules for students for next year. If you have questions about specific course selections or levels, please reach out to them. Some students may have been under the impression that these are complete - we assure you that they are not!

When schedules are finalized, the only changes that are permitted are for true errors. We do not honor requests for students to be in class with specific students or teachers. We will sometimes make adjustments if there is a known conflict between students, but fortunately those situations are rare.

School Council

We are hoping to identify at least two parents to serve on School Council for next year. We already have a great group of students and staff who will help us work on school improvement planning, and we truly value the input of families. Send an email to Mr. Rubin if interested!

College Redesign Opportunity

In collaboration with our partners from the CAPS Network, our students have a unique opportunity to work on a design project with six colleges and universities from across the country to help reimagine college admissions standards. We need to have a group of 5-10 students, and we are not sure if the educator who will be facilitating the project will be one of our teachers or from one of our national partners.

The students will be working to transform learning opportunities in higher education. Beyond that, there are opportunities for application and tuition waivers, participating in design thinking workshops, and potentially presenting ideas to a national audience.

Please reach out to Mr. Rubin directly if interested.
