Reminder of Dress Code as Warmer Weather Approaches
Please see pg. 54/55 of Student Handbook: Dress Code Guidelines: Students and parents share the responsibility for making sure that students maintain a healthy and respectful appearance while attending school and school activities. Student appearance must not cause a disruption to the educational process, must not cause a distraction, and must not interfere with school purpose. Disciplinary action will be taken by administration when students fail to adhere to the school dress code. The best advice is: “When in doubt, rule it out.” Blouses, shirts, and tops must be long enough to cover the midriff at all times and with straps that are a minimum 3” in width with a finished sleeve (sheer or transparent material will not meet the above requirement). Students must wear shoes at school and when attending school activities. Shorts, skirts and dresses are to have an inseam with a length longer than fingertips as the arm hangs down the side normally. Wallet chains or protruding studded spikes on jewelry are prohibited. Any student wearing any form of clothing considered too short, too transparent, too vulgar, too indecent, and/or too revealing by school officials will be asked to change or will be placed in Alternative Placement until appropriate clothing can be brought in for them. Any form of clothing containing vulgar, obscene, or profane words, sayings, and/or pictures or denoting and/or depicting tobacco/vaping products, alcohol products, legal or illegal drugs, sexual innuendos, dual meaning, and/or sexually suggestive pictures or words, or displaying any gang-related article of dress or adornment, is not allowed at school or at any school activity. Hats/hoods/any other head gear will not be permitted to be worn in the school building.
Sports of all sorts are underway at UCHS!
The fall sports have started for many of the students here at UCHS. We want to wish the best of luck to all of our teams representing UCHS this fall. Please come out and support all of these hardworking students, it means more to them than you realize.

First Sock Hop/Social of the year is a huge Success!!
The UCHS Student Council decided to try something a little different this year and held their first sock hop/social on the football field August 22nd, after the football game. Over 150 students attended where they danced, played cornhole, played a little football on the field, and just enjoyed each others company. It was a great evening filled with a lot of fun and many laughs shared by all.
Homecoming is approaching! Let the games begin!

PowerSchool App
Parents please make sure you have the Powerschool App on your phone. This will enable you to monitor your child's grades and attendance. Students can also have it on their device.
