PARENTS' PRAYER MEETING! 


Come join us as we pray for our students, families, teachers, staff, and school! We will meet every Thursday morning from 8:15 - 8:40 am in the main building, room 107, Brother Ralph's classroom. Parents, grandparents, and friends of UCS are welcome!

Students are considered tardy after 8:12 am. Tardies accumulate for each quarter. At three (3) tardies, the student will begin losing break or recess privileges in order to make up any work missed. After six (6) unexcused tardies, students will begin serving a ½ hour detention starting at 3:30 pm for each additional tardy in that quarter. A $10 fee will be assessed to the parent for each detention served to cover the cost of a detention supervisor.

K5-8th parents: Please be mindful that the front door to the main school building DOES NOT open until 7:45 am every morning. Please do not drop off your student and leave them unattended prior to 7:45 am. If they need to be dropped off prior to 7:45 am, they MUST enter at the cafeteria door and be signed in to Before Care.

Thank you for your cooperation!

If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can ask your IRA custodian to donate directly from your Traditional IRA account to your favorite qualified charity. This can be part of your Required Minimum Distribution. The amount directly transferred to your charities from a Traditional IRA will not be taxed as income to you. An additional savings may be Medicare monthly premiums which are based on annual income. Please consult with your financial planner or tax adviser.


Please consider UCS as your qualified charity.
