I will repeat my announcement from earlier in the week as it relates to bussing for our district. Due to a shortage of bus drivers and other related transportation issues we will be adjusting our morning and afternoon routes to attempt to best accommodate our students and families and continue to provide transportation to as many routes as possible. Busing students can expect an approximate 10 minute later pick up in the mornings starting next week on Tuesday, September 6. Please continue to be patient and understanding as we work through these new challenges as best we can. We may have to make additional adjustments as the year progresses and apologize in advance for any inconveniences this may create for families. You can expect changes and adjustments and traffic flow challenges particularly in the mornings. You can expect some to be last minute and we will do our best to communicate as timely as feasibly possible.
I would add we are accepting applications for full time and substitute bus drivers. If anyone is interested, please contact me directly or our transportation supervisor, Shawn Ost at 773-6031 or email at sost@gotanks.org.

I would like to thank our parents and students for helping with a successful start to the new school year. We appreciate everyone’s patience with the morning and afternoon traffic issues. It has actually been relatively smooth compared to previous start of the school years. I have received feedback that parents have been very patient, courteous, and professional to each other and to staff, especially in the mornings. So a big thank you! Lets keep this going!
A special thanks to our high school students and parents for their understanding and cooperation with our improved cell phone policy. We recognize the challenge it has presented and are very impressed and appreciative of our students' response and support. I can personally say, it has been exceptionally encouraging and exciting to see our students engaging in conversation with each other and actually making direct eye contact! So thank you students, parents, and staff for your role in improving and supporting our goal to provide students with an optimal learning environment and educational experience at the U! Thank you!!

Open enrollment applications need to be turned in as soon as possible. These forms need to be completed each school year.
I do have some bad news to announce and hope all will understand and make the very best of a tough tough situation. No school on Monday, September 5, 2022 due to Labor Day. Yes, no school on Monday. Do your best to enjoy the upcoming extended weekend. I realize it is early in the school year to be missing a Monday and our students will be terribly upset by not having school. Make the best of it students!
Students - remember to bring it each day. Bring your best. Be focused and disciplined. Pay attention in class and be motivated to learn and grow. Listen to your teachers. Listen to your parents. Make good decisions. Decisions that are good for you today. Decisions that are good for you tomorrow and into the future. Good decisions are good for you. Good for your friends, your family and for us all. It matters. What you do…matters. Anything less is a disservice to yourself and those around you. Bring it!!
Go Tanks!

A reminder to high school students and parents we have improved our cell phone expectations for the school year. Our students will have the opportunity to keep their cell phones in their lockers throughout the school day. This will support our goal to provide our students with optimal learning opportunities with limited distractions. The high school staff has communicated the expectations multiple times through the summer to ensure everyone is aware of the expectations and potential consequences. We are communicating this change again in order to allow our students to prepare accordingly. We appreciate your understanding and support in improving our children's educational experience at the U.
We look forward to working together to achieve yet another safe and successful school year. 3 days til Monday and 6 days til the first day of school for students!!

In preparation, Sixth grade students should plan on attending "Open House" which is scheduled for Monday August 15th from 5:00-6:30pm.
We will not be hosting a formal Open House for Seventh and Eighth grade students.
