Hello UMS parents, we had an adult have a very serious medical issue today at UMS. All students and staff are okay. I just wanted to let everyone know. I want to say thank you to our nurse and our staff for their actions and how well they handled the situation.

Good morning UMS!!! 1. Last day of the book fair, thank you for the support of it. 2. Hat Day today! 3. Math growth assessment today for all students.
Please consider all three when making your daily plans!

Hello UMS! Two things about tomorrow: 1. Tomorrow is Math Growth Assessment Day. Please help us by getting students to school on-time! 2. Tomorrow is Hat Day for the Sock Drive. Students can wear hats for a $1 donation. Have an awesome Thursday!
