UHMS - Parent Newsletter
December Edition
Joy, Peace, and Happiness
Our scholars and teachers are busy closing out Quarter 2. All grades will be finalized on Friday, January 13th. The past few weeks we have had a lot of critical conversations with scholars about their academic goals. It is the time of the year where our scholars must take a moment to step back and reflect on what they have accomplished and their goals for the future. We have also discussed the importance of the spirit of generosity and being kind to yourself and others regardless of your differences. Parents, we ask for your support in this. Consider extending kindness and appreciation to our teachers by sending a note of appreciation to them. They work hard and show up for our scholars, everyday! Let’s do our best to ensure our scholars and teachers have an amazing last week of school before Winter Break.
