Good evening! Unioto Elementary's 3-5 grade Student Council Meeting scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday, December 16, 2025 for our representatives is cancelled due to the snow day and will not be rescheduled. We will meet again in January per our meeting letter we sent home.

I have some really good news. I was thinking, if I had to cancel school two days in a row, not only would the students get really upset, but their parents would be added to the list along with our staff. Honestly, most don’t mind a day or two a year, but two days in a row of no school??? That would not sit well with anyone!! Especially our staff and students!! Two days of doing nothing but playing in the snow and pelting your siblings with snowballs would not go over well for sure.
You may not believe this, but as much as it concerns me that our students and staff want to be in school, and will be very, very upset if I cancel, please understand my role as superintendent requires me to put the safety of our students and staff first, not their feelings, even when those feelings are loud and passionate!
Again, students and staff, my apologies for no school tomorrow. No school on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Carry your own weather! 😕🥶 The good news is I am really confident we will be in session starting on Wednesday of this week. It is important to have something to look forward to and something positive to think about! So when you are down a bit, just remember school will resume on Wednesday!!
The orchestra concert for Tuesday evening has been moved to this Friday, December 19, at 5 pm. Student call time will be 4:30 pm. Any concerns, please contact Mr. Thorne at jthorne@gotanks.org.
Go Tanks!

It’s clear that the weather will make things a bit challenging tomorrow, and I know how disappointing it can be for many of our students when school is canceled. Students tell me all the time to do my best not to cancel school. They are always kidding with me, saying they want a snow day or a delay. They don’t fool me. I understand they genuinely want to be in school, learning, growing, tackling extra homework, asking for lengthy assignments, and connecting with their friends, rather than sitting at home scrolling on their phones, wrapped in a blanket, watching cartoons, drinking chocolate milk, and snacking on Cheez-Its. If you do find yourself stuck at home, at least get outside for a bit. Go sledding, build a snowman, and enjoy the day. A hot chocolate never hurts on a snowy day, either. I figured students would want to hear the bad news directly from me, versus a school text message, so no school tomorrow for Unioto! No school Monday, December 15, 2025. Carry your own weather! Go Tanks!
