Good morning families,
Two more weeks left in the first quarter - go over your student's grades with them. It is important for each student to be reflective and understand what is contributing to their grades. Varsity volleyball and soccer tournaments start this week. come out and support our Gryphons as we look to advance in both.
On Monday we will be hosting the CACRAO college fair, with 39 colleges and universities signed up to attend. These recruiter events are primarily designed for 11th and 12th grade students that are deciding on their post-secondary destinations. We are looking forward to building this relationship with the program so that all of our future IB Diploma and IB Certificate students can attend. The courses offered by UDS' International Baccalaureate program help to make our students especially appealing to many of these institutions.
