Hello Econ Families!
I hope that you had a restful and fulfilling Thanksgiving week! As we get back into the swing of things, here are a few announcements about what's happening at Union Park MS:
- This Tuesday, November 27th is our Winter Band Concert beginning at 6:00 pm at University High School
- Our mid-year progress monitoring begins December 3rd. Our progress monitoring helps determine the strategies we use to support our students throughout the second semester. Please help us with a few things:
- Ensure students fully charge their laptops the night before (I will send a message out to remind everyone)
- Help ensure that students take the progress monitoring seriously...it is incredibly important that we get an accurate measure of student progress!
- Make sure students get a full night's rest and a wholesome breakfast each day of the progress monitoring

Our SAFE Ambassadors celebrated Red Ribbon Week turning their shirts backwards and taking a picture that symbolized "We turn our backs to drugs." National Unity Day was recognized with students, teachers, administrators, and staff wearing orange. Additionally, all students recognized this event by writing messages of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. A visual statement is being portrayed in our front office with the positive statements written by all students.
- Canvas assistance for students is offered every other Friday during the 2nd period in the Media Center.
