UCSD Families: All school meal services will continue as usual during the federal government shutdown — there will be no impact on your child’s access to breakfast or lunch.
If your family’s SNAP or other benefits are affected, you will still qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on income. Any family with need may complete an application online or contact Jerusha Humphrey (jhumphrey@ucsd.net) for help. We’re here to make sure every student stays fed and supported!

It is with appreciation for his service that I share that Mr. Mark Alston has submitted his resignation for personal reasons. We thank him for his leadership and the positive impact he has had during his time with us.
To ensure a smooth transition, leadership responsibilities are shifting to Ms. Greta Bruce (Eustace). While Mr. Alston will be missed, Ms. Bruce (Eustace) and the UCS staff are fully committed to our vision and confident in the meaningful and caring work ahead.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school office or reach out to me directly at khanisch@ucsd.net or (907) 351-7706.
Sincerely,
Kim Hanisch, Supt.
Unalaska City School District
