Last week, our Associate Principals, Mr. Hogaboom and Ms. LaDue, met with all of our students to review key behavior expectations for the school year. They covered important topics, including moving safely around the building, using kind language and actions, and always showing respect and acceptance toward one another.
We’re proud of our students for staying focused on making good decisions and creating a safe, welcoming, and positive community for everyone.

A BIG THANK YOU to our wonderful UVMS PTA for donating ice pops to welcome all of our 6th grade students to Union Vale!
Our students had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather, spending some time outside, and, of course, cooling off with a tasty ice pop.
A special thank you to our awesome teachers for helping coordinate this fun opportunity and for making our newest Rays feel so welcome as we begin a new school year!
We are so happy to have you at UVMS!

Through his efforts, Mr. DeBonis helped strengthen the connection between the staff and the PTA, fostering a more unified and collaborative school community. The UVMS PTA is grateful for his dedication and support. Wishing him all the best in his retirement!




From professional kitchens to campus life to a gourmet French meal, the students were able to see how French language learning can connect to real-world experiences and future careers. Merci beaucoup to the Culinary Institute for an unforgettable experience!

Sixth graders got a hands-on social studies lesson when they were tasked with creating their own cave paintings on the walls of UVMS. As the culminating activity after learning about early humans during the Stone Age students had to scavenge outdoors for materials to create a paint brush. Then using their brush, they worked on two paintings: one in the style of early humans and one for the modern day. Their teachers Matt Fiedler & Michelle Simonetty from Team 1 and Matt Reilly & Amanda Clemenza from Team 2 made the experience extra fun by dressing up in costume for the event.
Friday, Oct. 17, UVMS ended the week with some fun: holding an activity period for the entire building. Students enjoyed an inflatables race featuring faculty and staff, they earned for supporting the PTA’s Coin Wars fundraiser and surpassing the goal by raising $1,934.02! It was a beautiful day to spend a little extra time outside, and everyone had a blast!
