UAI High School Staff News
Black History Month Celebration
We had another wonderful celebration of Black History on Friday. Many thanks again to Ms. Jen for organizing this community-building and many thanks to all the teachers who helped our young women with their submissions for the competition. There weren't an overwhelming number of submissions, so the competition morphed into more of a celebration, but that's great too! Please have the girls check in with Ms. Jen to receive their prizes!
UAI High School Night at the Brooklyn Nets. The strong community feel we started at this assembly is going to continue! On Tuesday, March 10th at 7:30PM we have a block of 50 tickets to go to the game together as our UAI HS family. Students, family, and staff are all invited to attend. If you want to come, please see Jen to purchase tickets. We hope you can make it! It will be a fun-filled night!
Looking For Teachers. Keeping in line with our awesome community theme, now that we have most of the preferences back from staff, we have a picture of our hiring needs next year. We're a staff who works hard together and we're a staff who also gathers for fun - like ice skating together on a Friday afternoon! It's important to me that we keep our community happy and healthy. A happy staff is a happy school! So, if you know someone who would work well with our girls, Learning Cultures, and our staff, please let me know ASAP. Everyone will be welcome to join in the interviews, (priority will go to grade and subject team leaders, though). Based on responses from the preference sheets, I'm looking to fill special education and maybe science. Put your feelers out and see who we can find!
Summer and After School Opportunities for Students. It may not seem like it, but spring is coming. It's only three weeks away. With the improving weather, students without things to do find ways of getting into all sorts of bad decisions. You know what they say about idle hands and devils. On Monday, March 2nd, our
Girls Inc High School After School program begins. Help get our girls excited about after school by talking up the programs and opportunities! Additionally, next Tuesday, March 10th at 6PM, Girls Inc and Carrera will be hosting our first annual Summer Opportunities fair. Please reach out to your students and especially your advisees to make sure that take advantage of all the programs we have to offer!
