Below is some useful information for UCP families, as well as a description of our fundraising efforts. For further details on policies and procedures please refer to the UCP Parent Handbook here.

Health Policy

Children must be free of fever, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, unexplained rashes, runny noses, excessive coughing, sore throat, headache, chills, earache, and red eyes for 24 hours before coming to school. Please DO NOT bring your child to school with any of these symptoms unless you provide the school with a doctor’s signed verification that your child is not contagious to others.

Children may not attend school with head lice or nits. The preschool staff reserves the right to refuse attendance to any child displaying the above symptoms and appreciates your cooperation in this matter.

Lunch

 The optional lunch program is 2 days a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, when UCP is open. This lunch option is open to all Duck, Fish, and Frog students.  An additional $60 is added on to the monthly tuition.  Kids bring their own lunch and have extra outdoor play time afterwards.
