UCASD Middle School is all about making learning fun and exciting. Students are encouraged to improve their math fluency through the use of weekly tutorial time. Baseline data has already been gathered, and students will continue to be monitoring on their progress. There are fun games and activities to help students become more proficient as well. Programs like Blookit and Gimkit are utilized to engage in friendly competition with classmates. To motivate the students, the school is rewarding the top performers each week

This comes on the heels of many updates that have happened above the ceiling, in the walls, etc. Some of those include HVAC updates, lighting, windows, and much more!

Good morning, Bear Community! If you've driven by campus recently, you may have seen our beautiful sunflower garden in bloom. If you're looking for a picturesque spot for some photos, come check it out!
These seeds were planted as part of our District's participation in the international #RemakeLearningDays event in May. During that "Mega Event," our middle school students worked alongside our high school Agriculture program students and FFA to plant this garden. Seeds were donated by our friends at Ernst Seeds, and our students learned about careers in agriculture, made pinecone birdfeeders with the Presque Isle Audubon Society, received their own wildflower seeds to take home to plant, and learned about the commercial uses of sunflowers. All participating students completed digital surveys for the #PACareerReadyBackpackChallenge, earning our Middle School a banner and special recognition from PDE, alongside only 30 other schools in PA! Huge thank you to Stephanie Rhodes and the IU5 team for their support in making this event possible!
Come check out our sunflowers - They're certain to brighten your day!
