UMS Final Days of School Reminders
Lost and Found
Students will have until Friday to go through and claim items from the Lost and Found before all gets donated. It is overflowing with jackets and water bottles and hats. If your student is missing something, please encourage them to go through it thoroughly by the end of this week.
Last Day for 6th Grade
6th graders last day of school will be 5/28. Only 7th and 8th grade come 5/29.
Returning Chromebooks this Thursday
Our Chromebook and charger return day is scheduled for Thursday, May 21! Please help your child keep their device safe during this final stretch to avoid any last-minute fees for cracked screens or missing keys. Along with the laptop, please ensure your child has their original charger with the barcode still attached. Just a reminder: we cannot accept replacement chargers for any that have been lost.
If you still have library books please remember while we don’t charge late fees, any books not returned by the last day of school will incur a $10 replacement fee. Thank you for helping us get these books back so next year’s students can enjoy them!

For Our UMS Community:
Help Pay Student’s Lunch Balances
At our Cultural Night, we had a table where you could donate to pay off student’s lunch debt. Unfortunately, we didn’t have an electronic way of doing so at the time. If you are still interested in supporting students with outstanding balances, you may scan the QR code or click hereand specify our school. Thank you for being a community of caring!
UMS Pantry Clean UP
Every day until the end of the school year, there will be a cart just inside the main doors with free food for families. Please feel free to take a bag of food home. We will be cleaning out the pantry for the summer and do not want all the food to go to waste.
*If you are interested in additional food resources for the summer, please contact Dinitri directly.dinitri.jackson@canyonsdistrict.org | ParentSquare message | 801-826-7504
