Message from the principal
On Wednesday and Thursday during the "fair" part of the project, students then shared about their research in person to a host of judges and other people including professors at local universities like Drake, UHS alumni currently in college, UHS alumni currently in the workforce, parents, teachers, and many more. This is the fourth annual Biology Research Fair at UHS.
All who came were treated to great evidence of learning. Four posters and their creators were selected to present at at DUCURS (a science event at Drake University).
Congratulations to all of the UHS students for their work and dedication for their learning as well as to Mrs. Bunce for leading their learning and creating this tremendous event!
Sincerely,
Tim Carver
Principal

Upcoming UCSD Bond Referendum - Vote on February 6th
The proposed UCSD Bond Referendum plan aligns with the strongest life cycle, educational adequacy, and cost-benefit ratio quantitative results, as well as supports the preferences shared by attendees of community facility planning meetings in the spring of 2017. The $59M Bond Referendum would provide funds to build two new elementary schools, build an addition to Webster Elementary or UHS as needed for future enrollment growth, and accelerate the timeline for building a new high school fitness center. The plan optimizes school resources, creates equity throughout the district, enhances technology and security, and provides greater 21st century spaces and learning opportunities for all K-12 students.
Community Meeting: The next Community Meeting is scheduled on Tuesday, January 23,
2018, at 6:30pm at the UHS Media Center. We’d like to encourage as many people to
attend as possible in order to learn about the bond referendum.
Website: The website now has a PDF of the Absentee Ballot Request Form posted at the
bottom of all 12 pages within the dedicated Bond Referendum section of the site that can
be accessed by going to Urbandaleschools.com/vote or via QuickLinks. Note: Absentee
Ballot Request Forms are due to the Polk County ElecOons Office by Friday, January 26,
2018—this is earlier than in previous years as there have been a few changes for 2018.
Vote: We encourage everyone to learn more about the bond referendum in order to make an informed decision on election day and be sure to VOTE on Tuesday, February 6, 2018.
