Happy New Year, families of Unity High!
I hope that the holiday break was "as good as it gets" for you and yours and that 2019 is off to a magnificent start!
I want to begin this morning's Scoop by thanking wholeheartedly all of our families for supporting your kids with the additional academic practice assigned to them over the holiday break. By having students engage in some additional practice while on break, our aim is to have students' minds and skills be as sharp as can be as they enter the New Year. Again, we thank you for supporting our efforts here.
In returning from the break, it is important that we, Unity staff and families, are oriented and on the same page regarding where we are and where we are going. As of today, we are presently just shy of the midpoint of the school year. We are coming off of family conferences in which we had very productive conversations and are now a few weeks into the second trimester with state exams in the not-so-distant future. On behalf of our staff and faculty, we are excited to roll up our sleeves with you in best supporting your children in experiencing an exceptional education at Unity.
In this week's edition of the Scoop, I bring to your attention 7 important announcements.
1. A Shout-out to our Select 9th Graders who Led the Way in Presenting their CCR Roundtable in December! - Approximately 30 students from Mrs. Easson's College & Career Readiness class presented their aspirational resumes and reflections on their academic progress in high school thus far. In preparing for these presentations, students completed research on various colleges, took career inventories, and spent time learning about their future careers. Please join us in congratulating these students on completing their first high school Roundtable and in putting themselves on track to graduate from Unity with distinction. See the photo below of current 9th grader, Josh Lewis, Josh's father, and Ms. Glickman, Josh's College & Career Advisor following Josh's impressive presentation.
2. Make-up Conference Appointments - Please Schedule ASAP! - For families who were unable to attend conferences in December, please contact one of the child's two advisors as soon as possible to schedule a separate appointment to discuss your child's academic progress over the first trimester of school. We expect to meet with 100% of our families so that we are best supporting our students in collaboration with families - the stronger the collaboration, the better! Contact Ms. Rivera of our main office (718-682-3725 or cri...@unityprep.org) if you need contact information for your child's co-advisors.
