Connect with Dr. Hartloff

Hello Falcon Families!

Parent communication and connection between home and school is one of our top priorities here at UMS. This newsletter is your one-stop-shop for all things UMS. We recommend you take a few moments each week as a family to review the contents for upcoming activities and information to help you navigate each week.

Take care,

Dr. Hartloff, Principal

Parking Lot and Safety Reminders

Please remember to look both ways before driving through the drop off areas to ensure safety. We have had some close calls this past week despite staff being out in the parking lot. It is also important that students, staff, and parents are using the designated crosswalks in front of the school so that a staff member with the stop sign can make sure you are crossing safely. Thank you for your support in keeping our campus safe for all!

Wednesday PTA Snacks and Spirit Wear

Every Wednesday our Falcon PTA will be in front of school at dismissal selling snacks and spirit wear - come and get yours this week! We just got in our brand new spirit wear so we are all stocked up with sizes. Cash, check, or Venmo only.

PBIS Parent Support

ACA is an acronym we use every day at UMS, and it stands for Attitude, Commitment, and Achievement. When students demonstrate these values, they earn ACA tickets. Students will now have the opportunity to use those tickets at a PBIS Student Store. This is where our wonderful families come in. We are asking for donations to help start and stock the store. These are small items that students have expressed a desire to be able to "purchase". Please take a look and consider donating what you are able to so that we can help our Falcons have a better experience.
