Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our counselors and administrators are busily engaged in course selection work at the high school to ensure that all students have completed course selection requests for next year. The information from students about courses they’d like to take guides our decisions regarding what classes to run, which ones we must cancel, and how many sections of each class are needed. Our goal is to send home with each student on or about June 2 a draft schedule for the 2010-11 school year. You will then have until July 7 to contact us with questions/concerns about that draft schedule (see the Course Selection Guide on the high school website for additional information). I would urge you to carefully consider the input that your child’s current teachers offer regarding the appropriate level of class for your child. We want to ensure that all students are appropriately challenged, but we also realize that students who are misplaced in a course struggle to be successful. Working together to communicate about course selection will ultimately lead to students being appropriately challenged.


We are excited that our students will be performing the musical Les Miserables on March 4, 5 and 6. I have heard students practicing late into the evening, so I can assure you that they will delight audiences in early March! We hope that you will plan to join us for one of these evening presentations. Another exciting undertaking at UHS is the opportunity for students to take one of two dual enrollment courses offered in partnership with Delaware Community College this summer. As a part of the summer enrichment program offered district-wide, students may take an International Business or Medical Terminology course. These courses are a small, but important part of the summer enrichment program the district is offering to students of all ages; more information on the summer offerings is available on the district website.


Shortly after students return from spring break, PSSAs for 11th grade students will begin. You will receive additional information later this month about our modified schedule for those testing dates. Our high school ranked third in the state last year based on our PSSA scores, and we anticipate that our students will once again perform at a very high level of achievement.


All of us at UHS hope that you have an enjoyable Spring break, especially after the dreary, snow-packed weather that we endured throughout February! If there is ever a time that you have a concern about your child, please feel free to contact his/her teacher, guidance counselor, or an administrator. We will be happy to help you in any way possible.
Take care and Think Spring!

Paula Massanari
