March 2020 - Posts
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
I hope this posting finds you well. We all miss having our school open and being able to see everyone on a daily basis. We all hope this changes soon.
Some things I need all students to be doing during the time we are closed - this is very important:
1) Check in every day at 9:00 am check in using this form: https://tinyurl.com/unedav5 or the one on our website. If you do not, you will be marked absent. Please select your homeroom teacher on the form. This is separate from logging on to any online assignment such as Google classroom.
2) Complete your assigned work. Whatever has been assigned during the emergency closing by your teachers will be graded. It needs to be completed. Marking period three closes on 4/9/202. Your teachers will be using the work you complete to grade you.
3) Log on to your assignments each day. (This is separate from morning check in at 9:00 am) Your teachers are available online to assist you from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. If you are having any difficulties, you need to email them or your counselor.
Please stay well, keep up with your academics and in touch with your teachers and counselors for anything you need.
You can also reach out to me or Mr. Zalocki if we can assist you with anything.
Thank you,
Dr. McCabe

Dear Parents/Guardians,
If your child has completed any hard copies of work he/she was provided due to not having internet access, the work should be dropped off at the Middle/High School as soon as possible. We will have a bin available each morning from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon inside the main entrance to the High School where they can be placed.
The work should be put in an envelope or held together by a clip or rubber band. It is very important your child's name and teachers' names are on the work.
The bin will be available each morning from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon.
We will have hard copies of student work for those needing it on Tuesday between 10:00 am and 12:00 noon for pick up at the Middle/High School. This work will be for the week of 3/30/2020.
If you have any questions, please email a specific teacher, your child's counselor or me at [email protected].
Thank you,
Dr. McCabe
