There is some confusion regarding the Integrade disks. Those who attended the Integrade class during the staff development received disks. They are for your PERSONAL use. You must still pick up your Integrade disk from Mary Tenorio in the counseling office each quarter. DO NOT use the disk you received from the class for submitting your grades. You can copy your grades from your personal disk to the counseling disk. If you have any questions please see me or Mary. Thank you. MRS. MARTIR

Attention: All Wildcats:
Due to requests, the UMS website (www.gdoe.net/umsor www.umswildcats.org) has undergone more updates! Now you can download the bulletins from the website as well as view more pictures of past school events.

Also, I would like to offer all UMS teachers an opportunity to have their own page with as much or as little content as you would like. If you have your syllabus, please email the document to me orgive me a copy of it on disc so you can at least inform your parents that they can view your syllabus online! If you have pictures of a school event, please email them with a note about when the event was and who is in the picture. I have other ideas of what else to include on the website, but I need everyone's help and input to make our school website the best it can be. Whether you're a student, parent, staff, or teacher --let me know what you want on OUR school website! -- MRS. CARIÑO ()
