Assemblies Today and Tomorrow!  UES will have our first school assemblies of the year this afternoon and tomorrow morning!   CARES expectations will be reviewed, HOOTS will be explained, and new staff will be introduced!  Not only that, but the wisest owl of all, Screech, will make a special appearance!  3rd through 5th grade will join us today, with K-2 following tomorrow.
