Hello Union Middle! I saw something very exciting this morning, Coach Edwards and Coach McFarland are now driving electric buses! Those are the first in our attendance zone. Be on the lookout for bus #EV55 and #EV64. Very cool.

UMS, I made a major mistake and scheduled the dance over top of softball tryouts. The coaches have generously agreed to move the 2nd day of UMS softball tryouts to next Monday at 5:30 at the field. I appreciate them working with us and it is TOTALLY Mr. C's fault.
The information is here: www.wisek12.org/ums/springtryouts Questions = pclendenon@wisek12.org

Hello UMS! Happy 2-hour delay!
Tomorrow is Valentines Day and I wanted to remind everyone that we will NOT accept deliveries at the school. We started this policy years ago and we do enforce it.
Thanks and sorry!

Hello UMS, here is the prepay link for the dance on Thursday. Remember, this is not a formal dance. You can always send money for admission/snacks that day.
You can prepay for up to 10 snacks and pizza. Each checkbox that you check under the admission price will get your student one snack ticket. We will give them their tickets that day.
Don't forget to put your students name in the field where it says "Who are you purchasing this for?"
