Principal's Corner:

April 14th, 2021

Patriot families,

We are excited to see our students in person and are committed to providing a safe and active learning environment. Students of families who chose the UCS virtual academy will continue their on-line instruction for the remainder of the school year. As a school and district, the health and safety of our students and staff remain the top priority. We need to work together to make sure that we can meet our goal of continuing in moving forward with increased face-to-face learning. Parents need to follow these safety protocols each morning and, if your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, please keep them home. Working together, we can keep our students in the classroom and avoid any interruptions. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our office at 586-797-3300.

Just a reminder, students will be absent if they are not logged into classes or if they are not in the building. Please call the office if your child is absent for class due to illness, appointments, etc.  Attendance will be taken every day, during every block. Attendance line (586) 797-3399. 

 
Be safe everyone! 




Sincerely,
Mrs. Antionette Hamilton
