Union Township Middle School Families and Community,
I am delighted to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new principal of Union Township Middle School! I feel honored to be given the opportunity to join such a dedicated staff and community. You all make UTMS a great place for students to learn and grow and I am excited to walk alongside you!
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in various educational roles, including as a special education teacher, district behavior specialist, high school assistant principal, and central office administrator. Each of these experiences have provided me with valuable insights into the diverse needs of students, parents, and educators.
At UTMS, my goal is to build upon and continue the existing culture of excellence and achievement, and to work collaboratively with our exceptional staff to provide an enriching educational experience for all students. I believe in fostering a positive school culture that celebrates student success in all areas, promotes positive citizenship, and values the unique talents and contributions of every individual.
Open communication and collaboration are key to student success, and I warmly invite parents and guardians to actively participate in their child’s education. Throughout the school year, you can expect regular updates on important events, academic achievements, and extracurricular activities through newsletters, emails, and our school website. Your involvement is important, and I encourage you to attend school activities and events.
In the month of July, I will be hosting a few office hours at UTMS in hopes of meeting and getting to know the UTMS community. Be on the lookout for this information in the coming weeks.
I am truly excited to embark on this journey with all of you and look forward to getting to know each and every one of our students and families. Please feel free to reach out to me at 219-759-2562 or sells@union.k12.in.us if you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to introduce yourself.
Have a wonderful, relaxing summer, and I look forward to seeing everyone in the fall.
Go Bearcats!
Sam Ells
