Meet our Parent Coordinator
Ms. Haydee Rodriguez is our new Parent Coordinator and we are so lucky to have a wonderful member of the community joining our team and working directly with families.
What do our parents have to say?
As a parent of two children who attended and graduated from UNMS, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Principal and the entire staff for their unwavering care, support, and collaborative efforts. The dedication demonstrated by the school has been instrumental in shaping not only my children's academic journey but also fostering values such as perseverance, kindness, and a commitment to continuous learning.
Both of my children have special needs, requiring alternative approaches to learning and teaching styles. I am particularly grateful for the extra instructional support they received after school, which undoubtedly contributed to their success. The lessons imparted by UNMS extend far beyond the conventional classroom setting, enriching their character and instilling values that will guide them throughout life.
During my oldest child's time at UNMS, he faced the challenge of developing seizures, affecting his ability to maintain coherence consistently throughout the day. The staff at UNMS demonstrated remarkable perseverance in their efforts to assist him in his learning journey. They not only provided valuable feedback on his progress but, through collaboration, we identified additional support in the form of a dedicated paraprofessional. This professional accompanied him, monitored his health, and ensured he could catch up on any missed instruction. The reassurance that he was in great hands throughout the day was immeasurable.
I am pleased to share my positive experience with the exceptional, talented, thoughtful, and professional principal, teachers, and staff at UNMS. Their passion and commitment to instilling confidence in the students have created an environment where my children thrived. Their dedication to both the students and the community as a whole sets them apart, making UNMS a nurturing and robust place for learning and personal growth. I am sincerely grateful for their unwavering support during this crucial time, and I recognize the impact they have had on my children's lives.

"UNMS provides a nurturing environment where students are in small class sizes and receive individualized attention. The principal, teachers and staff care about students' wellbeing and will often go out of their way to reach out to families to provide updates as needed, such as if a bus is running late or if there was an animated discussion in class that day. They care about the overall student, not just their academic performance."
