• Hats and Hoodies must be removed indoors upon staff request.
• Clothing must be free of offensive language or of topics that depict other inappropriate matters.
• Footwear must be worn at all times.
• Undergarments must not be visible.
• Clothing must completely cover this portion of the body.
• Please be mindful of the length of shorts as well so that no private body part is exposed.

Thank you for your help with this matter and we are excited to FINALLY see the warmer temperatures!

ATTENTION 5th Grade Parents: The 6th grade math placements letters were sent home yesterday with your child. Please look for the envelope from your child's folder or backpack. If you did not receive the letter, please let your child's teacher know immediately. That letter has a lot of information including your current fifth grader's recommended placement for 6th grade math in 2026-2027 school year: either Math 6 or Advanced Math 6 placement. Additionally, this letter will also share if your child has "recommended" or "required" math summer learning to attend through the UCS Summer Splash. Please access those links here:

The time has come to take a look at future 6th grade specials selections for the 2026-2027 school year. A letter was emailed home to you all this week. Please see a picture of it below and a downloadable letter copy. Lots of great information in this letter! FYI
