Updates & Reminders
Happy Holidays from UMS
Our last day of school in 2025 is this Friday, and we will not return to school until Monday, January 5th. We want to wish our families a safe and enjoyable winter break.
67th Day Attendance Challenge
Our 6-7 Attendance Challenge continues. We now have just 4 days before Winter Break and we want ALL our students here to end the year strong! Students who are here all day, every day until winter break will be entered into a drawing to win 6-7 extra minutes at lunch with a friend. Lunch will include pizza and a hot chocolate bar. 6 -7 students from each grade will be chosen. Let’s finish 2025 strong, together!
Spirit Day – Pajama Day | Friday, 12/19
Pajama Day will be our Spirit Day on the last day of school before Winter Break. Wear something cozy to show your school spirit.
