Dear UPES Families and Friends,
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We hope you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful summer filled with opportunities to relax, recharge, and make special memories together.

We are incredibly grateful for the strong sense of community that makes UPES such a special place to learn and grow. We look forward to continuing this journey alongside our students, families, and staff.

As we begin another school year, our focus remains on creating joyful learning experiences where every child feels welcomed, valued, and inspired. We believe learning is at its best when students are excited to explore, grow, and celebrate their successes. Together, we will continue to foster an environment where curiosity, kindness, and a love of learning thrive.

Working together is one of the keys to school success, and we encourage you to contact us whenever needed. Whether you have a question, a concern, an idea, or simply want to share a success, we encourage you to reach out throughout the school year. We look forward to connecting with you and working together to make this year a great one!

Thank you for being such an important part of our school community. We wish each of you a fantastic school year filled with joyful learning, meaningful connections, and many reasons to celebrate. We cannot wait to welcome our students back and begin another exciting year together.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Molly Wallschlaeger and Mrs. Shannon Cavanaugh
