Hello Econ Families!
I hope that you had a wonderful and restful winter break! We hit the ground running last week and are determined to start the second half strong! Over winter break, we seem to have lost some of the urgency and momentum that we built in the fall. Please help our students remember that while we have lots of fun here at UPMS, our primary goal is teaching and learning. This means that we need to minimize distractions (such as cell phones, earbuds, inappropriate dress, etc.), get to class on time, and focus on being the best version of ourselves both academically and socially. The spring assessment season is will be here before you know it, so it's important that we regain our focus quickly.
Also, please know that in addition to the tutoring for language arts and math on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, we are now offering Saturday school tutoring for Civics, 8th Grade Science, Algebra, and Geometry. Students will be contacted if they should be attending these sessions, however if you are interested in having your child attend and have not heard anything, please let us know and we will add them to the list.
That's all I have for this week, but we have lots of other things going on at UPMS as well! Please scroll down to see great information about athletics, ways to get connected at our school such as SAC and PTSA, and some information about our school partners in education.
Thank you and have a great week!
