Based upon local, state and national concerns regarding cell phone use in schools, UCSD has formed a committee to research and consider policy development. Part of the research is determining local perspectives: students, teachers and parents/guardians. Your participation in this survey will help inform the committee's decision-making.
Please participate in this survey. It will be open through Nov. 9th.

UCSD is working to add to our list of available substitutes for all positions - classroom teacher, teacher aide (paraprofessional), custodian, cook/food service and drivers. If interested, you get to choose which positions you would like to substitute for and which days you want to come in. If interested, contact Jerusha Humphrey (jhumphrey@ucsd.net). If not interested, please help spread the word so that we can provide everything our students need when they are at school. Thank you!

Update on Cross Country team's first trip.

Meal Payment Process Clarification: We have learned that some families may be misunderstanding our meal payment process and policy. Most IMPORTANT to understand: If a student's balance is $0 or lower, he/she WILL be served the daily meal (breakfast & lunch).
This year, we are asking families to make all attempts to maintain a positive balance. If the balance is below $0, ONLY second entrées and a la cart items will be limited.
Please pass this along. We do not want families to be worried about their student's needs being met. Nutrition is needed for brain power!
Again, we will work with any and all families who may be need extra support. Contact your school office for assistance.
UCSD Student Transportation has revised the M-Th afternoon schedules for 4th - 12th grade students. You can find the schedule at UCSD.NET under menu-parents-student transportation or at this link: https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/2731/UCSD/4723472/M-TH_Afternoon_Transportation_Routes_and_Schedules.pdf
The only other change in schedules is for the Amaknak stop. Students here will now be on the RED vehicle. Morning pick-up time will be 7:59 AM. This change was made out of caution as the Green vehicle passenger numbers were close to the maximum and the Red vehicle has excess space.
If there are known delays in departure from the schools greater than 5, a Thrillshare alert will be sent out to help with better communication.
Thank you,
Kim Hanisch, Supt.
