First Day of School: 2022-23!

Families, Guardians, and Spartans:

We are excited to welcome back our students on Wednesday! Some details for everyone can be found below:

1. For families who are dropping students off, we ask that these procedures for dropoff procedures are followed: https://youtu.be/fbCR_pZO4WE

2. We are again requesting that families wait until buses leave before leaving campus in the afternoon, and also stay away from the middle road if waiting for pickup. With the amount of time that some students are spending on buses, it is particularly important that we have the buses leave first.

3. Tomorrow at the start of the day, our students will be receiving several documents, including a Handbook verification, medical authorization form, biographical information, photo/video opt-out, school picture forms, information regarding free and reduced lunch, and details on optional accident insurance. We are asking that these be returned Thursday, except for picture forms, which will come in when photos are ordered and taken later in September. There is no school Friday.

4. Questions regarding transportation can be directed to central office, where Ann DeYoung, transportation coordinator, can assist.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone back on Wednesday!

Thank you,

Michael Rubin, Principal
Uxbridge High School

2022-23 Schedule Release

Good morning,

Within the next couple of days, student schedules for 2022-23 will be live via iStudent and iParent. Please be aware that there are still some adjustments being made, as counselors will be returning to work later this month. In some cases, some course sections may need to be adjusted as we balance class sizes, address different student needs, and ensure that all prerequisites are being met. For changes that families may wish to initiate, we are sharing a change request form at this link. Please note that we do not honor requests for specific teachers, and it may not be possible to arrange schedule changes for courses that students did not request in the spring. If a change is requested based on teacher personality, we do share those concerns with the teacher so that s/he may be aware of any potential or perceived issues.

We also know that there are some families receiving messages from UHS though they have either transferred from the school, moved, or graduated. The email distribution list will be updated within the next week or so, and if messages continue into September, please reach out so we can investigate how or why that is happening.

Finally, if grade 8 students have not registered for orientation, they may do so here: GRADE 8 ORIENTATION 

Enjoy the remaining weeks of summer!
