Medina will be hosting the Junior High Cross Country Meet this year at Deer Creek Camp on Wednesday, October 21, 2020. The girl’s race will begin at 5:00 PM and the Boy’s race will begin at 5:30 PM. Awards will be given under the pavilion at 6:00 PM. Awards will not begin until all coaches have had time to look over the results.
Jr High Girls and Jr. High Boys will run 1.5 miles on a fan friendly course. The boy’s race will not start until 5:30pm. There are only 2 races and we won’t rush too much and will allow the scorers to make sure results are correct before posting for coaches to see first. Results will then be announced once all coaches have had time to review them.
A concession stand will NOT be available at the Jr. High District Cross Country Meet.
Awards will be given at the end of the meet for individuals and teams under the pavilion closest to the Starting Line.
Deer Creek Camp is a great host and a great place and they ask that everyone stay off of the equipment found throughout the camp. Everyone is encouraged to peruse the visitors center and the camp store. Attendees are asked to please wear masks and/or face coverings.
All Buses will turn into the first open gate after the river crossing. All Cars and spectators will go in the main entrance and turn right on the first road in the camp. There will be someone there to direct parking.
Please show up and support our Junior High Cross-Country runners!!
This evening the Utopia chapter of the National Honor Society will conduct its annual induction ceremony. This is a huge honor for our students and we would like to invite any community members that can possibly attend. Please come out and support our students! The ceremony will be held in the school cafeteria at 6:30 PM on Thursday, October 15, 2020.
Good morning everyone!
Currently Uvalde County has met the requirement to rescind the State of Texas mandatory mask mandate, therefore the mask mandate is no longer in effect within the county.
The official stance of Utopia ISD is that students, faculty, staff, and visitors are still highly encouraged to wear masks, but the wearing of masks is not required. Social distancing and good hygiene practices are also encouraged.
As a precautionary measure, water fountains on campus will remain turned off and hand sanitizer will still be made available. The custodial staff will continue to use effective sanitizing procedures throughout the campus on a daily basis.
Thank you,
Michael

Utopia ISD is pleased to be able to offer a presentation by the Region 20 Educational Service Center entitled "Dangerous Teen Trends". Everyone thinks "It will not happen to my child", until it does. This session will provide an overview of current school age trends including drugs, alcohol, and internet safety. Learn what to look for , red flag behavior, and what to do when a child becomes involved. Please email Mrs. Kay at akay@utopiaisd.net to reserve your spot. This is a remote Zoom presentation, but we must have a minimum of 30 sign up to be able to host the presentation.
Parents, We are getting some vehicle congestion in front of the school during pick up and drop off times. We ask that when picking up or dropping off students please only use the circle drive if you intend to stay in your vehicle and immediately leave. If you plan to get out or park please use one of the parking spaces in the parking lot. This will help us keep our students safe and expedite the pick up and drop off process. Thank you so much for your help!
Thanks to Mrs. Kay the Mobil Exploration Lab will be available to students at Utopia ISD. This summer Utopia ISD counselor Ashleigh Kay wrote a grant to have the Mobil Exploration Lab come to Utopia and present students with the opportunity to investigate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematic (STEM) subjects. We are happy to announce that the eighteen wheeler containing the equipment arrived on campus this week! On October 8th & 9th the kindergarten through eighth grade students will be tour the various stations. Utopia ISD is the only school district in Region 20 to receive this grant! Please let Mrs. Kay know how much you appreciate all of her hard work!
