Thanks for a great year -
Parents/Guardians, the staff of UMS want to thank you for a great, but very different school year. We realize that the last 11 weeks have been very unusual and at times stressful. Students learning at home, teachers teaching remotely, parents playing the role of facilitator, etc. We appreciate your partnership and support. We are hopeful that the 2020-2021 school year is a more return to "normal" school year. Please enjoy your family time this summer!
Thanks also for a very efficient and smooth drop-off and pickup day last Thursday, June 4th. We appreciate you showing up! We had close to 95% of our students come through!
No report cards and grading -
For the last five years UMS and SJHS (6th-12th grades) does not print off and mail hard copy report cards. Your son/daughter's grades can be viewed in PowerSchool.
Just a reminder that marking period four is marked as CR for credit and semester 2 is marked CR for middle school classes. High school classes will have CR for the fourth marking period and a grade or CR for semester 2 (depending on the option you chose).
Cross Country for 8th going into 9th grade -

Cross Country for 6th going into 7th grades & 7th going into 8th -
Hey everyone!
I know summer is just getting started, but I wanted to get you thinking about the upcoming 2020 Cross Country season. I'm hoping you're considering being a part of our great tradition by being a part of this amazing team!
Please take a moment to go through this google document. It has a survey you can quickly fill out so I know a little more about you, give you some ideas for summer training, as well as get you thinking about earning certain mileage club honors!
If you have friends that may want to run CC with us this year have them email me and I will be sure to get them this important information. Have a great summer. Keep on running and log those miles! Maybe I'll see you out there!
I will send out more information as we get closer to August.

Physicals for the 2020-2021 School Year -
For the 2020-21 school year the MHSAA pre-participation sports physical requirement will be waived for students in any grade who received a valid physical for sports during the 2019-20 school year (one completed on or after April 15, 2019). These students and their parents/guardians will be required to complete the two-page MHSAA SPORTS HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE found on MHSAA.com (attached here). These must be signed by student and parent/guardian and kept on file in the school. Students who did not receive a sports physical in the 2019- 20 school year or later must have a valid physical examination form on file.
8th grade Farewell Flipgrid -
The 8th grade farewell flipgrid will be sent out today. A special thanks to Mrs. Cabanilla-Sinnett and Mrs. Nicholson for all the time they put in designing and producing it. We obviously would have loved the in-person 8th grade farewell, but I think you will enjoy this Flipgrid. Please let your daughter/son know it is coming today.

Unplug -
Every year I ask parents to help their son/daughter by limiting their online usage. We all know that summer is a short season in Michigan, so I encourage you to have them enjoy the great outdoors, read a book, and spend less time on a device. They spent a lot of time the last several months engaging online and a few months limited time would be good for everyone! Thanks!
Quote of the week-
Have a wonderful summer,
Mr. Mandarino
