From the Principal
Hello Monfort Families,
We have made it February.
Last month, we welcomed our students back to in person learning and have been getting used to our new routine.
Valentine's Day is coming in the next few weeks and is a special day for people of all ages.
Each year, we find creative ways to incorporate learning, celebration, and fun into Valentine's Day. This year, mitigation strategies are making us think more outside the box. We are not going to pass out any treats, items, or cards to others physically. Virtual options, crafts, games, and even video messages could be some options that our creative and talented staff/students could use to celebrate the special day.
Friday, February 12, will be a spirit day, where we can wear pink/white/red colors, heart socks, special Valentine shirts, hats, masks, to celebrate the season. Check with your child's teacher for any specific classroom plans relating to Valentine's Day.
February is a short month in calendar days and school days. UCS has mid-winter break starting February 15 through February 19. Students will return to school on Monday, February 22. There are many activities to do in Michigan in winter and mid-winter break is a great time to spend some special family time enjoying the Michigan outdoors together.
UCS has opened registration for incoming kindergarten students! If you have an incoming kindergartner, or know of a neighbor with a kindergarten student, please review the information on the district website on registration for the 2021-2022 school year. All registration paperwork is now online and needs to be completed online.
If you have questions on registration, please contact the main office at 586-797-5700.
