The Vermont Comprehensive Assessment (VTCAP) is happening again this spring. This is the third year of the statewide VTCAP assessment, and will be conducted similarly as last  year. VTCAP is required by the State of Vermont Agency of Education (VT AOE). UCS Students in grades 3 & 4 will be taking the assessment during the week of April 7th; and will be assessed in both English Language Arts & Mathematics. A parent/caregiver letter was sent home in your child's folder earlier this week. An electronic version of the letter can also be found HERE.

Emergencies

Students learned about Simple medical issues and how to respond (nosebleeds, cuts/ scrapes, falls, asthma emergencies).  We talked about hand washing and the importance of not touching anyone else's blood.  We talked about when to call 911.  Students were instructed to talk with family members about how they can call 911 at home.  Please be sure to review this with your student. Additionally, all students should have family members' phone numbers memorized. Students will be bringing home a form for them to fill out with important emergency information that can be posted at home. Here is a link to the form: Emergency Phone Numbers.pdf

Kids on Bikes

When: Tuesdays after school from 2:25pm to 4:00pm on May 6th, May 13th, May 20th and May 27th (rain date June 3rd)

Where: Underhill Central School

Cost: $20 (T-shirts and one snack per day included)

Sign Up by April 1: HERE

We Need Volunteers! This program is solely run on volunteer effort. If you can help out (any skill set welcome!), please indicate on the sign-up form

Contact: Email Nick Tanner at KidsOnBikesVT@gmail.com with any questions

Calling all 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade UCS students who want to ride their bikes and explore Underhill! Our goal is to expose 2nd-4th graders to mountain biking to develop safety and technical skills, build confidence, have fun, and gain an appreciation for the great outdoor resources right here at UCS. 

Each participant is required to have a bike in working order, a helmet and water bottle. If your child would like to participate and any of these are a barrier, please contact Nick Tanner at KidsOnBikesVT@gmail.com – the goal is to get every kid on a bike who wants to ride.
