After School:

As a reminder, UCA’s building closes at 4:30 p.m. every afternoon. Unless a student is participating in a UCA-sponsored co-curricular activity that goes past 4:30, all students are expected to be picked up or walking home (with their parent’s consent) by that time. We encourage all parents to communicate with your student about his/her after school plans. UCA is responsible for the activity of students on campus, however, if students leave campus to travel elsewhere in South Holland (including the park and fields behind UCA - see above image), UCA personnel are not responsible for their location nor activity.

Re-Enrollment:

Re-enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year is still open! To re-enroll:

  • Please pay the $200 re-enrollment fee in the main office with Ms. Grant.

    • This fee increases to $250 after June 30.
