Dear Parents,
Dr. Bushman has requested help from parents with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accreditation process.

We are looking for 25 parent volunteers from 1-4 pm on March 10th to participate in discussions and work with teachers and student in evaluating UHS programs.

We would prefer parents of students in grades 9-11 as we will ask these same parents to participate in a follow-up meeting next February when we are visited by the WASC team.

If you have not yet signed up to volunteer, you can do this now by clicking on the above link and and registering to volunteer.
Please sign up now if you are interested in participating!
