UESPG - UES Parents Group

meets the second week of every month and is looking for your ideas, feedback, energy and interests to contribute to making our school community a vibrant social and learning experience for all. For more information contact Vivian Tomasi.

In the event of inclement weather for Kindergarten arrival, students will be escorted by a UES adult to the school Library for indoor recess until 8:20 a.m. At that time I will pick the class up to transition to our classroom to begin our day.

Our Quotable Selves

"Mrs. Wrigley the word chicken has an -en in it, the word hen has an -en in it and I thought all this time that the -en was an -in when I spelled chicken!!"

Screech never has to dress up special for Green Day - he's a green and white owl!!

"Mrs. Wrigley, I have something important to tell you. I saw someone very important at the soccer game. It was Dr. Ricca (MSD Superintendent), and he said he loves visiting our class and learning new stuff with us. I invited him to come back and have more fun!"

"I see many rocks on the ground. I wonder how they got there? Let's put them back on the butterfly garden wall so the plants and people are safe to explore here."

"You know, this weekend I painted Starry Night over and over, and for a long time just like Vincent Van Gogh did. He was so careful!"
