Message from the principal
As we reflect back on Teacher Appreciation Week and look ahead to our last two weeks with teachers and their bright future, I wanted to share part of an email I received from a recent UHS graduate who is finishing her freshman year at college. As she is studying for her finals, she is so thankful for teachers she had at UHS. Specifically, she shared, "Many of my friends were not ready for the type of work that has to be done in college, and I feel so blessed to have gone to Urbandale and learn from amazing teachers. I truly felt ready for this next step."
Thank you again for our team here and for our students who are rising to the challenge to learn and grow while at UHS and in their time beyond...whether that be at college, trade school, the armed services, the workforce, or whatever their future holds. Go out and change the world!
Sincerely,
Tim Carver
Principal

Meningococcal Vaccine Requirement
The state of Iowa requires that all students entering or transferring into 12th
grade and born after September 15, 1999, will need to provide vaccine
documentation of two doses of the meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY). One
dose of the meningococcal vaccine is required if the vaccine was administered
when the student was 16 years of age or older.
We encourage you to contact your healthcare provider and make an
appointment to complete the meningococcal vaccine requirement and/or Tdap

vaccines to our school nurse when the requirement is completed.
