Parent & Guardian Reminders...

  • Have your child check the Lost & Found! Lots of items want to be found! Is your child missing eyeglasses? Contact the nurse's office for missing eyeglasses.
  • 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).
