Hartland parents help start program to celebrate children who learn differently
June 24th, 2024
When students return to University Lake School in the fall, the School will offer a new program to seamlessly integrate help for neurodivergent children into the classroom.
Through the Falk Family Center for Learning Engagement, ULS will provide additional staff members to support students in-house, more resources for children with neurodivergent learning needs and capacities, and professional training for staff and faculty using the most up-to-date research. This program will better serve the learning differences we see in our classrooms every day, such as ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, dyscalculia, speech challenges, and children with twice-exceptional qualities. This program will be integrated into our student experience to cultivate the highest level of learning for all students at ULS.
The Great Blue Heron Project at University Lake School
May 21st, 2024
For many decades ULS has marked its seasons by the annual departure and return of a flock of Great Blue Herons, whose rookery comprises over 80 nests in our stand of tall oaks. And yet we don’t know nearly enough about them. What are the specific features of this population? How are they organized socially? Why are their nesting sites slowly shifting north and east across our forest? Why have they chosen a site that requires a daily mile shuttling back and forth to Nagawicka and Pine Lakes? And where do they go in the winter?
We perceive a rare opportunity for the right ornithologist, graduate student, or scientist to make use of our rookery site to study this population of herons with unfettered access.
