A Message from Mrs. Klein
Greetings, UCE Families and Friends,
We had another great week here at UCE, filled with learning and fun!
The Homecoming parade is tonight beginning at 4:00 p.m. and will run from the UCE parking lot to the high school fields. We hope you're able to come out for some fun and to cheer on our Bearcats!
We are continuing to review our CHAMPS expectations for our bus riders, as we've seen some unexpected behaviors this week. We are continuing to remind students to remain seated and facing forward, talk at a level 1 or 2 voice (no screaming), not throwing water bottles, and not grabbing for branches out of bus windows. If your child rides the bus, these are great reminders to give before they board in the morning as well.
Just a reminder that picture day is quickly approaching. It will take place here at UCE on September 23rd. See the information below for ordering details (all ordering is done online).
You are loved at UCE,
Mrs. Klein
