Announcements

Appreciating Everyone.  Happy Mother's Day to all the UAI Mothers!  It will be a beautiful spring day, today. So, Enjoy.  Also, many thanks to the students, staff, and parents who coordinated a series of small actions that summed up an excellent week of appreciation.  We have had a wonderful year, and it is because of all the work we do together, as a UAIHS family.  Enjoy today, and I look forward to finishing these last 20 instructional days strong!

Full Team Efforts Make All the Difference.  On Friday, we had 4 teachers and 2 admin out for the UAI High School PD retreat.  We also had 2 more teachers out of the building.  To give you some perspective, that was nearly 1/3 of our teaching staff out and 2/3 of the administration out of the building.  On top of that, there was a fire drill.  Guess what happened? A really great day!  The PD Team had a completely productive day that is taking staff feedback to improve practices and strengthen the foundation for next yea.  The rest of the UAI HS team pulled together to actively manage coverages, kids struggling through spring fever, and a fire alarm to have a solid, orderly, successful day.  I am proud to be part of a team that pulls together like this each and every day!

Honor Roll Breakfast.  Students will be receiving their invitations to our annual honor roll breakfast.  This year, we will also be celebrating those students who have made dramatic attendance improvements and/or have been in school everyday this year.  Please make it a point to celebrate both academic and attendance achievements for the girls!
