Celebrating Our AMAZING Staff. 
 This week is Teacher Appreciation week.  We are taking this opportunity to celebrate all of our amazing teachers AND our entire staff.  

The staff at UAI is particularly special.  Each of you have an amazing commitment to your work and your dedication to our students and families is felt clearly in the work you do each day.  Through the smallest of interactions that celebrate or uplift an individual student to the herculean efforts so many of you put into your planning, counseling, and support work (either behavioral or administrative), you all dig deep to make sure our kids and families receive the level of learning & community they deserve at UAI.

Annie, Jen, Dai, and I certainly recognize your hard work every day.  We may not always actively express it, but it is a constant appreciation.  This week, we are making the time to actively recognize you, your work, and your efforts.

We have a week of celebratory activities lined up for you.  Annie, Jen, Dai, and I have been working to put together a variety of ways to celebrate YOU and all of your hard work!

  • Monday Breakfast Celebrations!!

  • Tuesday Lunch Love!!

Announcements & To Dos


Progress Reports.  
Progress reports are ready and will be printed and ready for pickup by 8:30 in the Main Office on Monday AM.  Here is the complete data for all students. There are some missing grades.  Please make sure you tell your students their current grade, and please manually update their progress report so that families know what their grade is in your classes.

For these progress reports, to be very clear in communicating progress, teachers must use grading policy grades only.  Any grade entered for this MP4 progress report have been automatically adjusted as follows:  
  • Grades <55 were changed to 55.  55 is the ONLY failing grade. 
  • Grades >55 but <63 were changed to 60. 60 indicates currently failing, but likely to pass by June.
  • Grades >63 but <65 were rounded up to 65.
Moving forward, please DO NOT use any NS/NX, etc. grades.  You MUST give a grade (55 if necessary).  

For all Everfi Advisory classes.  If one of your advisees failed to submit their work, you MUST make contact home and update the MP4 Log of Intervention and Support.  Those students will be mandated to summer school and may not graduate if they do not complete the work.  We must document outreach and support for those students who are not completing their work.


MP4 Log of Support.  Please continue to record your intervention and support by updating the  MP4 Log of Intervention and Support each week. Supports can be:
  • In-Class Supports:  1:1 Conferences, Individualized Assignments, Small Group Intervention, 
  • Advisor Academic 1:1 Coaching (regular grade checks and conferences about course progress)
  • Family Outreach: Calls Home, Texts of Progress (e.g. screenshot of grades), Emails home

Advisors:  For any advisee that is on the MP4 Log of Intervention and Support please make sure that you are meeting with them weekly. 



Monday PD.  We will be continuing our work in our CEP groups.  We did have some conflict with Girls Inc Rooms.  So please reach out to your CEP team lead to get updated room assignments.




HS AP Testing Ends This Week.  The final AP exam will be on May 9th.  147 will be used for the room.   Please review the   AP Exams and AP Exam Roster.  Rebecca and Danielle I will be point people for these exams.

  1. <I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $2000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $22,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.

  2. <,<Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started. Trading the Crypto market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient trader Bernie Doran, he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I’m not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I invested $2000.00 and got back $21,500.00 within 5 days of investment. His strategies and signals are the best and I have gained more knowledge.
