Attention 6th Graders: 2025 is the perfect year to be MINDFUL of where you put your belongings! We have over 20+ water bottles, 10+ lunchboxes, SEVERAL hoodies, and many classroom supplies that were left in hallways & classrooms. They are currently stored in the lockers by Mrs. Gelinas' room. Please check the lockers daily to collect your lost items! Thank you!
This is a friendly reminder to make sure your child's Chromebook is charged and ready to return to school tomorrow! Thanks, and hope you had a nice Winter Break!
ATTENTIONS USHS ATHLETICS FANS
This is a friendly reminder that tonight we will be recognizing our Junior High boys basketball team members and cheerleaders at halftime of the varsity game against Bucyrus. Players and cheerleaders should wear their team shirts in order to get in free. Come out and help us recognize our future Ram hardwood stars.
Also, tomorrow's JV girls basketball game against Bucyrus will be TWO QUARTERS only. JV tip time will still be at noon but this will affect the varsity start time. Please adjust your calendars accordingly.

Merry Christmas 🎄 We hope everyone takes time today to create their own ‘Griswold-worthy’ memories with loved ones. 🤩
We want to provide families with some Digital Wellness tips and strategies to consider during the winter break. These ten days are an opportunity to exhibit a healthy relationship with device use. Here is an exercise to try:
Commit to a plan around having no phones or devices out as family from out-of-town are visiting or if you are visiting others. Explain that it’s an opportunity to connect with family and anything online can wait.
Set an expectation for the entire family so parents/guardians can model a similar ability to know when it is appropriate to be on devices.
Find other times during the weekend as your family moves from one activity to another to preemptively define if this is a time the family has devices out.
By New Year's Day discuss questions with your children related to this activity, such as:
Did you feel more present with your family?
What was the most challenging part of the day for you?
What was the first thing you did when you got your device out? Why is that specific thing important to you?
Can you help our family create a plan to make this a more frequent practice?
5th and 6th grade band did and excellent job last night!
Wow! What a performance from our 8th grade band and choir students!!
Great job USMS 7th grade band and choir students!
This week is Right To Reed Week for our K-5 students- we were lucky enough to have Brian P. Cleary author visit for our students today! He showcased the how of his writing process!!
