University School Update: 9-14-20

University School Families, we hope that you all are doing well!  As we prepare for the end of Quarter 1, we ask that you please review the following updates and reminders:

  • Quarter 2 Operational Plans will be provided to our school community by no later than Friday, September 18, 2020. 

  • The University School Foundation monthly board meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 14th @ 4:30 PM via Zoom

  • Fall Break: There will be No School from September 19th - 27th.  We hope you have a great break!

  • ACT Senior Retake is scheduled for October 6th.

  • Interim reports have been distributed. Since this is a shorter quarter than normal, we ask that you please reach out to the office or your child's teachers if you have any questions or concerns regarding grades or missing work, which may also be accessed by logging into Canvas and PowerSchool.

  • The USDA has extended free meals for all kids 0-18 through December 31, 2020.  University School students are eligible for meal distribution from Washington County. Please see information and phone number to contact on the Washington County School Nutrition web page

  • Our University School Foundation, who will receive a portion of the proceeds, is happy to announce that the University School Apparel Shop is now available for online orders. Anyone interested in ordering items may do so by going to the University School Store for Apparel Sales 

  • Synchronous Sessions (Zoom Meetings) - As mentioned in our last update, we do want and expect the students to attend the live (synchronous) sessions if at all possible; however, we realize that is not always a feasible option, so the recordings for any scheduled instructional Zoom meeting should be posted on the classroom Canvas site for each course.

  • Fall athletics have started, please review their schedules below. Please visit our athletics page for updated schedules, guidelines and information.
    • The University High Golf Teams will be competing in post-season play next week. Both the men's and women's squads will compete on Monday, Sept. 14, in the TSSAA Small School District I Tournament at Elizabethton Golf Course. The Bucs will have 5 Men (Daxx Carr, Garrett Gentry, Wes Estes, Hank Berning, and Jaxson Williams) and 2 women (Chloe Ganger and Quinn Scheller) participating and hoping to qualify for the Region Tournament, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 17 at Link Hills Country Club in Greeneville, TN. On the line Thursday is a chance to qualify for the TSSAA State Golf Championships in Manchester, TN the week of Sept. 28, 2020.
    • All athletes must have their Physical, Cardiac, and Concussion forms submitted to the athletic office prior to beginning any practices with our school teams. Forms may be submitted via our secured ETSU Dropbox Link or in person to the school office.

Finally, we want to thank our families for all that you are doing to support the learning of our students during this remote period. We know that it has not been without its challenges especially as the expectations continue to increase, so we want to encourage you to reach out to the teachers and the administrative staff if you need any assistance. 

 Stay well and Go Bucs!
