Principal’s Message
Hello UMS Community!
We just wanted to share a few reminders about SHOWING RESPECT for student issued Chromebooks. We have had several issues with damaged Chromebooks and hope you can remind your students about the schoolwide expectations to continue to enjoy this privilege we are able to provide. Union MS Important Chromebook Expectations:
- Take Care of Chromebooks: Please refer to the document provided with the Chromebook, which outlines detailed instructions on how to properly care for the Chromebook.
- Charge Chromebooks Nightly: Ensure that the Chromebook is charged every night so it is ready for use at school the next day. We advise keeping the charger at home for home use only.
- Do Not Remove Barcodes: Barcodes on the Chromebooks and chargers should not be removed. These are essential for our management purposes and help ensure that the Chromebook and charger go back to your child should either item get lost.
Fees will be assessed for damaged Chromebooks as outlined in our UMS School Disclosure.
Let’s work together to ensure that all UMS Bobcat’s Show RESPECT:
- FOR SELF.
- FOR OTHERS
- FOR MATERIALS
Many Thanks!
Angi Holden

This Week:
Big Smiles Dental Clinic – 2/5
If your student is due to see the dentist, save yourself the stress of taking time off work or having your student miss school. Sign them up for our mobile dental clinic on February 5th. The dentist will be here in the Bobcat Den. Click here for the permission slip.
Cozy up to a good Ebook
Want an opportunity to win one of 2 Stanley water bottles? Read ebooks on SORA from January 6 – February 14. Students with the most minutes read will win a Stanley water bottle. Books on SORA must be ebooks, not audiobooks. Good luck and enjoy reading on SORA. Click here to access SORA.
Please remember:
When checking your student out early, please consider:
Our building is very big and it can take a few minutes for our office staff to retrieve your student. If you have to check your student out of school early, please consider allowing for an extra 10-15 minutes when possible. Avoiding check outs during the student’s lunch and after 2:30 pm when possible would also help the check out process run smoothly.
UMS Pantry is Open
Our pantry is stocked with shelf stable food. If you would like to visit our pantry to collect food items for your household, please contact Dinitri Jackson.

Union United, 4/24/25 – Save the Date
Union United is our Cultural Night where we celebrate all the different cultures that make up our school. We’d love to hear from more of our students and families this year. They can represent their culture through song, dance, creative writing, visual art, etc. We would also like to give space to families who are small business owners to table at the event. Contact Dinitri Jackson with any questions.
