Date: August 13, 2025  Parents and Guardians,  This email serves to inform you about UIL athletic participation for our 6th grade students.  For 6th Grade Girls: As per UIL rules and due to Utopia Jr High Volleyball being unable to field 2 full teams, 6th grade girls are now eligible to participate in UIL sports for the remainder of the school year. If your daughter plans to participate, she must have: A current athletic physical on file with the school All required athletic paperwork completed and submitted These forms must be completed before she can begin practicing or competing.  For 6th Grade Boys: UIL athletic participation for 6th grade boys will be determined at the beginning of basketball season. Further information will be provided as that date approaches.  If you have any questions about forms, physicals, or eligibility, contact the Athletic Director.  Thank you for your continued support of our student athletes!

We’re excited for an awesome school year and loved seeing everyone today! If you missed this morning’s assembly, here’s the important information we covered.  School Health Updates  All medication must be in the original container and delivered to the school office by a parent. Students are not allowed to carry medication (even to drop off). Students with asthma require a doctor’s Asthma Action Plan. Cell Phones & Devices (House Bill 1481) No student use of cell phones, smart watches, tablets, headphones, or earbuds during the school day—including lunch & passing periods. Only school-issued computers may be used. Devices must be stored in backpacks, lockers, or left at home. No exceptions for instructional use. Parents who need to reach a student should call the school office. Students may use the office phone to call home if needed. Attendance  Good attendance is essential for student success. Absences require time to catch up before new learning continues. Please schedule appointments on Fridays or late in the day when possible. Students with less than 90% attendance will be required to attend tutorial days. Utopia ISD’s attendance goal is 96%. Visitors to campus  All visitors must present a driver’s license at the office and receive a visitor badge. New this year: Your license will be held at the office until you leave. Please check out, pick up your license, and return your badge before leaving campus. Student’s parking on campus  Students must submit the required parking form, driver’s license, and proof of insurance (copies made by the office). Once complete, a parking spot will be assigned for the year. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning drop-off begins at 7:25 AM (when teachers are on duty). After the first week of school, parents may not enter the playground gate. You may wait with your student outside the gate, if needed. Afternoon pick-up: PreK & Kinder: 4:05 PM All other grades: 4:15 PM Use the car loop for active pick-up only—please do not park in the loop. Any changes in a student’s routine must be called in by 3:30 PM to 830-333-9989.  Have a good evening Buffaloes!  Julia Mazurek Principal, Utopia School
