UAI Celebrations


Graduation and Stepping Up.  The ultimate celebration of our work with the girls is cheering them on as they complete a rite of passage.  For our middle school girls, this is our annual 8th grade Stepping Up Ceremony.  For our seniors, this is Graduation.

  • Stepping Up will be held in our gym at 10:30 AM.  Middle school students will be released for lunch.  All teachers are expected to join the celebration in the gym to support and laud the achievements of our young middle schoolers as they transition into high school.  Doris, Tracy, and Jennifer will be working in the AM to set everything up!
  • High School Graduation will be held at Kumbel Theater at LIU.  Martine & Doris will be running the show.  As every year, we ask that everyone pitch in to help them get the girls organized and ready for the show. Please check in with Doris & Martine for specific logistics.



Announcements and To Dos

Download Gradebooks.  In preparation for the year's closeout, please download your gradebooks from Skedula and submit them to this folder.  Please name the file "Teacher Name_Course_2015-16".  The DOE is becoming more strict with documenting .... everything. This is the first time I've ever called for gradebooks.  It is a sign of changing times...High School Gradebooks need to be submitted by the end of the day on Monday. Please reach out to a Skedula expert on your team to figure out how to download your gradebook.

Middle School Final Exam Schedules.  Click here to see June final exam schedules.  Please review and prepare for final exams.   Students will be dismissed after lunch so ignore the classes that are listed after lunch.  Please make sure all materials are removed from the walls, all classroom resources are securely stored, and all desks are set up in rows.   Also, please upload a digital copy of your course final assessment into THIS FOLDER.  These assessments will be gathered and shared back with Subject Teams for curriculum planning this summer.

Classroom Cleanup.  As we prepare for Regents exams and getting ready for the summer, please complete the following
  • All Middle School Technology Carts must be ready for Collection by Monday, 20JUN16.  Again, Please also return all projectors and document cameras (and any other school tech).  George will be coming to classrooms to collect.
  • Please remove everything from your walls and bulletin boards - including the ones in the halls.  We will be revamping classrooms and hallways this summer, so everything must be cleared. 
  • Please store ALL classroom materials and books in closets.  Classroom bookshelves will be part of the rehab, so please so everything in your classroom closets.  Any books that don't fit in closets should be stored in boxes and clearly labeled.
