HELP NEEDED WITH SENIOR CELEBRATION
The Senior All-Nighter is May 24th, The goal of the senior all night party is to provide a safe, supervised, and fun environment for students to celebrate their many successes over the years they have been in school. In order to make this evening possible, we rely on our parents. It is helpful to have parents of ALL students (no matter the grade level) contribute to the setup and other logistics of the party. Help from parents of 9th, 10th, and 11th graders for decorating and other logistics allows our senior parents to enjoy the afternoon with their graduates.
We are still looking for parents to help with decorating and chaperoning, especially in the early morning hours. There are a few slots for gift baskets and desserts that we are also wanting to fill. Please use the link below to sign up:

GRADUATION DATES
SPREAD THE WORD
Dear UCAS Families,
We need your help to spread the word about UCAS! Many students you know may not have heard about the early college experience, our amazing teachers, or the small school community that benefits your students. UCAS is most successful when students are able to participate in classes with other motivated students. Who do you know that would make a great UCASian? Please share with them some information about our school and how to enroll. Tell them about the opportunities they could have by joining our team! I have attached a social media post that you could add to your channels, but please don’t be afraid to talk about the great things happening at UCAS as you are out in your community.
Thank you for being such a valuable member of our school. You make a difference!
