The Unity Scoop at 432! Week of January 14th

Good day, families of Unity Junior High!

I hope that the week is treating you well despite the frigid temperatures outside. Know that we are in this together!

I’m going to jump right into it today with 7 important announcements in this week’s edition of the Scoop.

This Week’s Top 7:

Congrats to our Students on Completing their ELA Mock Exams Today – Families, please provide a big congrats and a hug to your child for putting in 100% effort on their ELA mock exams and for showing off all that they have learned over the course of the year thus far as young readers and writers!

Calendar Clarification, January 18th is a Full Day of School – An earlier version of our school calendar had listed this coming Friday as a half day of school. We, in fact, have a full day of the school on the 18th. See an up-to-date version of the calendar attached. Our apologies for the oversight.

Congrats to our Students of the Month for December!– A big shout-out to our talented and hard-working Students of the Month for December – we are proud of you!
