I have been contacted by the Upland Borough Police Department with the following concerns:
- Parent crossing their children on Main Street typically from Castle Avenue, into the flow of traffic
- Parents crossing their children at 6th Street across to McClintock Drive
I am encouraging who drop their children off, to park on Main Street south facing 6th Street to avoid crossing traffic ways.
Please be advised: Effective Tuesday, January 17, 2023, police will be enforcing pedestrian laws on Main Street and parents are not to cross the roadway against traffic.
The safety of our students, parents and families are our utmost concern!
CUSD Technology Usage
Parents and Guardians:
Chromebooks or other technological devices are sent home with students to complete assignments on asynchronous days. These devices must be used to complete assignments given by your child's teacher or teachers. Students may not download games, wallpapers or participate in video group discussions. Please monitor your children to ensure they are not using their devices to participate in any of the above activities. Improper use of technology could result in the student losing privileges of using the school's device.
All students must report to school in uniform everyday!
Car Line
Parents:
Please refrain from making u turns in the car line during dismissal. The safety of our children and parents is of utmost importance to us. We would like to move the cars through the line without any disruptions.
