From the Principal

Greetings to  Dresden Families,  

As my first year at Dresden comes to a close I want to thank the Dresden Community for all of their hard work!  It has been a challenging few months but we have made it through together.  I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable summer with plenty of family time.  

Please take the time to participate in our Summer Learning Challenge as well as reading every day.

Summer Learning Challenge 
Updates

Please continue to monitor your e-mail accounts for important updates from our school and our district.  We also encourage you to join our Facebook page.  We are using this page to share information and make further connections with our families.

 School may be out for the summer but that doesn't mean learning needs to stop!  Check out our summer edition of our Literacy Newsletter for fun ways to prevent the summer slide!

With much respect,
Principal Bradley Suggs

UCS Mission

We are committed to exemplary teaching and learning in order for our students to be prepared for success in the 21st Century.
We will achieve this commitment by engaging the entire community to focus on each child's achievement, with the expectation that every student will pursue some type of post-high school educational endeavor.

Core Values

  • Every child can learn and achieve.
  • Parents and guardians are partners in the learning process.
  • Being “smart” can be achieved through persistence, hard work and effective effort.
  • Excellence is expected and celebrated.
  • Data is used to guide our decision-making.
  • All employees will exemplify ethical behavior; exhibit a strong work ethic; and continue to develop their leadership, performance and service skills.
  • Technology supports and enhances instruction, business operations, research and communications.
  • The Board of Education, district educators/staff, parents, community members and business leaders must collaborate and work as a team to enhance educational opportunities for student success.
