Students will line up outside of their classroom/designated area on the play pad. We will bring the students in when the bell rings at 8:40. If you arrive late and see that students have already gone in, please come to the main front door.

Switzer designated areas:

• young 5's and all kindergarten: Main Front doors
• Nicolai/ Kohl: Classroom doors by “Big Blue”
• 3rd grade: Side playground by the dumpsters
• 2nd grade : Side playground entrance by Shelby Road.
• Grades 4-6: Classroom Doors in the back of the building.
• Parents may walk their student to their exterior classroom door on the first day August 30. It is also a good idea to set a meeting spot out front in case you are delayed in the future. (A bench or tree)
• Due to security protocol we ask that parents remain outside. If you need to come in the building, please come to the main entrance. Thank you for your support.

After the first day of school, we ask that parents say hello/goodbye at the fence. Staff will be outside directing students on where to line up. We will also help guide students to and from their bus.

At the end of the day, students will be dismissed directly from their designated areas. Students who will be using UCS transportation will be supervised as they walk to their bus.

Utica Community Schools is proud to deliver 1:1 technology to our students. Depending upon the grade level, your child has been issued either an iPad or a Dell laptop including charging cords and any applicable accessories. Your child is responsible for the device at all times. In the event of damage to an iPad or laptop, district policies and practices require a charge be assessed to cover the repair or replacement cost of the device. An annual insurance plan has been designed to help families if there is an accident that causes damage to the school issued device. The cost of this device insurance plan is $15.00 per device, to be paid online through PaySchools. The last day to enroll in this device insurance plan is THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2022. A full description of the UCS device insurance program, including coverage details and links to PaySchools, is available at https://www.uticak12.org/device We ask that you review the insurance policy at the website above and return this form to your school office indicating your choice to participate in this optional insurance program.
