First Days of School Success Tips!

- Please make sure your child knows the name of their homeroom teacher!
- When students arrive at the UES, they should report to their homeroom and line up in the hallway as directed by staff.
- The UES school day starts at 8:00 a.m.! Please make sure your child is here on time!
- Grade 5 & 6 parents/guardians - please have your child find their UES-issued laptop bag to bring to school on September 7!
- Please have your child check his/her student email before Thursday, September 7, for any important information sent out by teachers. Your child's student email address is made of the MHS graduation year, last name, first initial, and @mtps.us. (Example - 27LastF@mtps.us)
- Please check Genesis transportation information for possible changes/updates on bus schedules.
There will be plenty of adults on hand to welcome and help our Undeniably Excellent Students as they start their first day back tomorrow!
UES Bus Information
PLEASE check Genesis for your child's bus information. It may have been updated since last week.
- Students should be at the bus stop in the morning 10 minutes prior to the assigned time.
- Buses will run late the first few days of school. Please be patient in both AM & PM until all students and drivers are familiar with the bus runs.
- Students will be assigned seats on the bus.
- All UES students will be assigned a bus number that reads UES-#. (i.e. UES-22)
- Bus numbers will be located on a sign in the bus window and may not coordinate with the number printed on the bus. Please remind your child to look for the sign in the window.
- Bus numbers may change up until the first day of school. Please be sure to check your child's bus assignment in Genesis.
If you have questions regarding your child's bus assignment, bus stop, or bus schedule, please contact the Transportation Department (856-778-6610 ext. 12271).
