Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow
Hilliard Highlights
Hi Hawk Family,
We had another great week of learning at UES. The "Principals of the Day" scholars have enjoyed their time being in charge of our school. We have a few more this week and can't wait for those scholar principals to share their leadership.
Our American Education Week is going to be exiting as parents will be in the building reading to the scholars. The spirit days will unify our scholars and staff. The food drive will be a testament to our scholars caring character to support our community. Thanks for your support!
Thanksgiving is almost here and we hope that everyone will take time to reflect on everything they are thankful for at UES. Thank you for all you do to support our staff and scholars at UES.
Have a great week.
With Hawk Pride,
Tracy Hilliard
Principal

The mailbox address for questions and transportation is urbana.es@fcps.org
All transportations changes for the day must be completed by 1:30. This gives the school staff time to prepare the teacher, the scholar, and staff of the change before dismissal begins.
To register and complete training as FCPS volunteers, please go to the FCPS Volunteer Center: https://fcps-volunteers.ezcommunicator.net/edu/fcps-volunteers/login_form.aspx?app=0
The training only needs to be completed once for this school year. Please complete the training at least 5 days before the event so that you may be cleared. If the training is not completed you will not be able to volunteer or be permitted beyond the front office for the safety of our scholars.
