4th Grade Parade
At 10:30 on Thursday morning, the fourth grade students will begin lining up for their traditional celebration parade over to the Middle School! Learners from other grades, teachers and staff will line the halls, and our Essential Arts teachers will lead the way with drumming and music. The rising fifth graders will march through the halls of UES one last time, and out the front doors, preparing to head to Main Street Middle School at approximately 10:40am. They will stop and take a photo outside UES before heading down Park Ave.
Families are invited to clap for learners along the route. If you are able to join us, please station yourself on the *opposite* side of the street from our walking route. This will help us avoid congestion and will give you the best photo opportunities.
We will parade to MSMS starting at approximately 10:45am to arrive there at 11:00am. Students will meet their new 5th grade teachers and spend some time with their new 5th grade class.
Dismissal for our rising 5th graders will be at 11:45 from Main Street Middle School on Thursday. Please make sure your new middle schooler knows their dismissal plan! Students who ordered bag lunches from the cafeteria will get them at the middle school.
Sincerely,
The Fourth Grade Team
Step Up Day & Placement
Kindergarten
Our Kindergartners are enjoying their final day of school today, including a chance to do a brief meet and greet with Grade 1 teachers. All K learners are coming home today with their Learner Placement letter for the 2023-2024 school year in a sealed envelope. Please don't hesitate to contact the main office if your learner's letter does not make it's home for any reason.
Grades 1-4
All grades 1-4 learners will be coming home with their Learner Placement letter Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, all 1st-4th grade students will have an opportunity to step up to their new teacher, before they head off on Summer Break.Placement decisions are made by a collaborative group of teachers and administrators who have put a great deal of time and thought into each decision. This process included reviewing a Learner Placement Caregiver Questionnaires that were turned in back in April. We are confident that the placement decisions we have made for the upcoming school year have set our learners up for success and are excited for the new learning communities to sprout in August!
