Good morning, families of Unity High!
It feels good to be back into the swing of things as we fully embrace the New Year! For the week of January 21st, I bring to you 5 important announcements.
This Week's Top 5:
1. Semester Finals this Week! We are now in the midst of final exams for the first semester of the 2018-19 school year. We are excited to conclude the semester by having our students show off all that they have learned thus far this year! Note that all students have individualized exam schedules and should only report to school when they have exams. Review the schedule with your child and contact your child's co-advisors and/or academic counselor with questions.
Students should arrive to school at the following times depending their individual exam schedules each day:
- AM Exam: 8:30am
- PM Exam: 12:30pm
2. Tips for Helping Your Child Prepare for Final Exams - Here is a helpful article that details how you can support your child in studying at home so that she/he is performing at her/his very best on her/his final exams. Simply browse over the article and take part in those recommendations that you feel are most important to you and your child. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s co-advisors and/or teachers directly for course-specific study tips.
3. February College Tours! - Unity High students will visit 12 colleges in February as a part of our College and Career Readiness program! During the visits, students will have an opportunity to experience a bit of the college life, meet college students and professors, learn about specific college programs and courses of study, and evaluate whether the colleges offer a promising fit. Students will visit the following colleges and universities: Villanova University, St. Thomas Aquinas College, Manhattanville College, Trinity College, Lincoln University, Barnard College, Columbia University, Quinnipiac University, Kingsborough College, Lehman College, Brooklyn College, and St. Francis College.
On a similar note, Unity High's National Honor Society is currently raising funds for additional college tours this coming spring and summer. Visit their Gofundme page here!
4. Reminder! Immediate Change in our Cell Phone Policy - Students have been assigned a Yondr case that they take home every day. Students are responsible for bringing the case to school each day. If they do not have their Yondr case, their cell phone will be turned in for the day and be returned during dismissal. Students are personally responsible for keeping their assigned case in good working condition. If it is discovered that a case is broken, a replacement fee of $25 will be issued to the student’s account. Contact Ms. Yun, Co-Principal, (gy...@unityprep.org) if you have any questions.
5. Reminder! Free Study Sessions for AP Students through AP for All - Families of students enrolled in AP courses, please see this list of available study sessions that your student may attend through our partnership with AP for All. Students have the opportunity to work with skilled AP teachers and college professors and to meet other AP students from throughout the city. These workshops are a great way to give your scholar a leg up on AP exams. Unity students who attended a recent study session for AP Environmental Science had a blast. Please encourage your child to sign up, and reach out to Ms. Duphiney (mdup...@unityprep.org) if you have any further questions!
