Dear Lions Family,

It has been a productive first few weeks welcoming back students to school. Here are some updates for our school community.

Unity Reed is once again fully accredited by the State of Virginia. Our Continuous Improvement Plan will support our school wide efforts for academic growth. Thank you to those parents that responded to become a member of the School Planning Council. The first meeting is at 6:30 in the URHS Library, all are welcome.

Prince William County middle and high schools is implementing a new security system (EVOLV), to be fully implemented the first week in October at Unity Reed. We are modeling for students in the morning our new procedures and appreciate the patience and support from students and the school community.

Finally, September is Attendance Awareness Month. Chronic Absenteeism is a significant area we continue to monitor and address with students. Please ensure your children are present and on-time daily to classes. ParentVue allows you to monitor their daily attendance. If you need assistance with ParentVue or Attendance please reach out to our Parent Liasion or Students Grade Level Administrator. (Grade 9- Ms. Drouin, Grade 10- Mr. Verzosa, Grade 11- Mr. Hintosh, Grade 12- Ms. Nash).

Our Vision for 2022-2024 is Lions are Fierce in the Face of Challenges…Every Lion in the Pride! We need continued support from all members of our school community to make this vision a reality.

Have a wonderful week Lions!
