Dear UCA Family,

VILLAGE STUDENTS – TRACK & FIELD DAY
Track and Field day will be Monday, May 22.  The Track & Field activities will start as soon as classes have ended.  The afternoon activities are part of the required school day.  Lunch and supper are provided for day students.  Please see the attached Track & Field Day Schedule, which is the same as the home leave schedule as far as classes are concerned.

LAST-WEEK-OF-SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Because we value your student’s education so much and want them to be able to complete all required school work in the time frame given and without added stress, especially as the year comes to a close, all students are required to attend all of their classes the last week of school unless there is a family emergency or specific family event.  Please make your plans this year with this in mind to avoid unwanted surprises at the end of the year.

TEXT & LIBRARY BOOK RETURN
See the attached flier for due dates.  Parents, please encourage your student to wait until the librarian has verified that they have returned all of their books.  It is possible that they will return a textbook, thinking it is theirs, but the bar code shows that it is checked out to someone else.  That will help their friend, but they will still be responsible for their own book.

STUDENT SUMMER JOBS
Is your student needing summer work?  Summer jobs are available at UCA in several different areas, some for a few weeks and others all summer long.  Student workers will need to have their own off-campus housing, as the dorms and cafeteria will not be available for their use.  For more information, please contact Nancy Starr at (509) 245-3610 or nancy.starr@ucaa.org.
