Hello UMS! We received our school score from our performance last year on lots of different metrics. SOLs are not all we are graded on now, and things like attendance, growth, advanced scores, etc. matter.
I am very proud to say that our school score was 87.4. This puts us in the high portion of the "on track" designation. We are so happy to have this.
Our school is a good school and the reasons are the families, teachers, students, and staff. We have high expectations for ALL of our students and we try to push them to be better student-citizens. We are not perfect, but we work hard to be a good school.
Hello UMS, I learned something today. We have a third veteran on our staff.
One of our newest employees, Specialist Heather Allen who works in our cafeteria, is also a veteran.
She was in active combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Army.
Happy Veterans Day to Spc. Allen also!!!
UMS would like to wish a very happy VETERANS DAY to two of our finest; Sgt. Brian Renfro and Major Frank Brooks.
We are so happy to have them on our staff working with our kids. Both were highly decorated and retired from the armed services.
We are so proud of Sgt. Renfro and Maj. Brooks! And proud of all that have served to make this country great!
Academic Night Registrations open tomorrow at 7AM. 8th graders get to go first!
8th grade registration is 11/12 beginning at 7am until midnight of that day.
www.wisek12.org/ums/2024an8th is the link for 8th graders to register.
You can also pay for your student. https://wisek12.schoolcashonline.com/Fee/Details/1153/286/False/True
There is a $0.25 fee but this is the best and quickest way. Make sure you put the student’s name in the field.
A great end to Red Ribbon week today with the mock election! Over 400 students voted today and we used the Town of Appalachia ballot.
We are closed Monday and Tuesday for a nice long break!
Thank you to everyone for supporting Red Ribbon Week and our students. I hope that everyone has an awesome break!
Go Bears, beat the Falcons! Go Cats, beat the Vols! LOL

Again, Middle School girls basketball tryouts begin tomorrow at 3:30 at UMS and last until 4:30 tomorrow.
