Lukac Recognized as UCPS Influencer
The UCPS Influencers Program allows people the opportunity to recognize staff members who have had a positive influence on them or who go above and beyond each and every day. This month, Monica Frank honored Band teacher Jody Lukac with a nomination to celebrate the positive impact that he makes on the lives of our students and community at Piedmont. Frank wrote, "This young man still to this day inspires me by the way he teaches and treats his band kids. He is always so positive and upbeat. This young man taught my daughter in band years ago, and I mean years ago and back then, he was so upbeat and loved his students. I would do anything for the man, even sell doughnuts and fall in a hole at the football game again. He is family, and we hurt when he lost Cheryl. He has overcome so much in his young life." Mr. Lukac is a true inspiration to others, so congratulations Mr. Lukac on being nominated for the January 2022 UCPS Influencers Award!

Final Exam Update
UCPS has made the decision to allow all teacher-made exams to be taken from a virtual setting. All students taking an End-Of-Course Exam or a CTE State Exam will be expected to attend school face-to-face on their assigned day. Students need to report to school with their laptops and chargers. Please contact the teacher directly if students are not sure if their class is an EOC or CTE state assessment or visit the website under Quick Links. EOC and CTE State Exams are required tests and will count as 25% of the studentโs final grade. All teacher-made exams will be given virtually. All teacher Canvas pages will have a โFinal Examโ button to link students to their exam. Teachers will activate their exam links on Monday, January 10th at 8:30 am. Once students begin the exam, they will have a two-hour window to complete the test. All teacher-made exams will close at 3:00 pm on Friday, January 14th. Complete final exam details and a listing of specific courses and exam format can be found by going to Quick Links.

JROTC Cadets Visit Ohio
December 9-11, 2021, marked a return to outstanding field trips for Piedmont JROTC, with a trip by 30 cadets to Dayton & Cincinatti, Ohio. It was their first out-of-state field trip since 2019. Prior to COVID, the unit had went on trips to Norfolk VA, Boston, MA, New York City, and many other such places. In Dayton, the cadets got to explore the National USAF Museum, the largest and oldest aviation museum in the world and went to a Cincinatti Cyclones hockey game, a first for many of the students. Cadets camped at Camp Kern YMCA, where they had a bonfire with smores and participated in other camping fun activities. Storms hit the final night of the trip, leaving the camp a soggy mess, but overall, it was an amazing time for both students and chaperones!
