Feedback on Student Late Procedure
Here is a link to the Student Late Procedure. We are continuing to iterate this policy, so please add any comments, questions, or suggestions by February 23, 2026. The finalized procedure will be shared at the March staff meeting.
Standby Coverage, for F1, F2 and S6 Classes and Instructions to S6 Students During Experiential Education Feb 23 -27
F1, F2 and S6 Teachers who are not away on Experiential Education Trips will be on Standby Coverage during their regularly scheduled classes.
If you teach a class with S6 students that also has students in another grade with whom you will be working, please let the main office know and please provide your attendance to the Main office during your class. Situations change and so we kindly request this again even through you may have done in during the S6 Coochiching trip in the fall.
If you teach a class with S6 students that has students in another grade but will not be working with the non-S6 students and you would like them to work quietly in the library, please let them know that they should check in at the Main office (for attendance) and then proceed immediately to the Evans Library to check in with Ms. Courtney.
Iftar Event
On March 3, 2026, the UTS Muslim Community Group will host an Iftar event in the multi-purpose room at UTS. This event is open to anyone in the community to mark the sunset during Ramadan, break fast, and join in a communal meal.
We hope to foster connection, charity, and interfaith understanding in this event. We ask attendees to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to a local food bank.
We will be serving a light meal. Time and space will be provided for those who wish to pray. People will have the option to create a celebration card with craft materials provided.
To attend, please RSVP here.
