Our Character Strong Focus for February is KINDNESS!
This month we’re talking about the wonderful and sometimes oversimplified character trait of Kindness. We will celebrate and learn about kindness and what it takes to truly be kind. Students will participate in activities during morning meeting time, have class lessons with our counselors, and learn about ways to demonstrate kindness during Random Acts of Kindness Week.
Celebrating Black History Month

General Reminders
- PM Car Line Reminder - If your car is parked, please exit your vehicle and meet your child at the crosswalk. This will help keep all students and parents safe at dismissal.
- Please remind your child that the school-issued Chromebook is for school assignments only. Students should utilize their school Chromebook for teacher-directed activities only.
- Remember that the UES school day starts at 8:00 AM! Morning homeroom is an important part of your child's school day. Thank you for getting your child here on time!
- UES students are not permitted to use cell phones during school hours, at school events, or on school buses. If you allow your child to bring his/her cell phone to school, it must be powered down and placed in your child’s backpack and in his/her cubby for the school day. This rule also applies to all Smart Watches.
- Students are permitted to carry a water bottle during the school day. Please help us ensure that your child's water bottle is spill-proof and used for water only. Beverages other than water are not permitted during the school day (with the exception of lunch).
