AMP Cakewalk
Hello UCES Families!
I wanted to send out some information about the upcoming AMP Cakewalk that will be one of the attractions at our annual Union Colony Elementary Fall Carnival...
Any baked goods that parents would like to donate to the AMP Cakewalk can be homemade, or store bought. We do ask that parents avoid nuts, or peanut butter, since food allergies to those are so severe. Any type of baked goods that can be given in single servings (IE cookies, brownies, cake pops, cupcakes, etc.) are perfect! You will not need to separate each treat-- we will do that at the time.
Baked goods can be dropped off in the office before 4 PM on Tuesday, October 29th, or before 4 PM on Wednesday, October 30th. If you are interested in donating yummy treats for the AMP Cakewalk, please let me know by sending me a message through SeeSaw, or via email at jpatterson@unioncolonyschools.org. I would need to know your name, your student's name, what you are planning on bringing, and how many. Thank you for helping to make this year's Fall Carnival a success! We appreciate all our UCES families so much! See you there!

Attendance Matters
At Union Colony Elementary School we feel that all students should come to school every day, on time and remain in school for the entire school day. When a student has reached four absences from school in any month or ten (total) absences during any school year, they may be assigned to an attendance plan.
When a student is tardy or leaves school early, it affects his/her academic performance. Students who are habitually tardy or check-out early, (those who have more than 10 tardies/early check-outs in a semester), may be assigned to an attendance plan."
Parents please remember, it is your responsibility to get your child to school on time. On time means students are in their classroom by 8:00 a.m. when instruction begins. Students are tardy at 8:01 a.m.
