This Week:
This is a normal week of learning at UCA.
Next Week:
Tuesday, May 23 - Friday, May 26 | Senior Class Trip
Seniors will be leaving for Wisconsin Dells next Tuesday, May 23rd right after Block B. We will be taking two 15 passenger vans, as well as Mrs. Veldboom’s van for the luggage. If possible, try to bring bags that can squish down rather than huge, hard suitcases. We will be returning on Friday, May 26th at 9:00 P.M. after a day at Six Flags Great America.
Final payment for the class trip is due today Monday, May 15. Please contact Mrs. Veldboom with any questions.
Looking Ahead:
Monday, May 29 | Memorial Day - No School
Wednesday, May 31, 9:00 A.M. | Senior Awards Breakfast (REMOTE Learning Day for 9th-11th grade)
We will celebrate our seniors with a special awards breakfast on Wednesday, May 31 at 9:00 A.M. Every senior is allowed to bring 2 special guests with them. We highly encourage every senior to be accompanied by at least 1 adult representative for this breakfast. Several UCA awards will be distributed at this breakfast and our Valedictorian & Salutatorian will be honored with cords and a medal. The dress code is semi-formal.
As we did last year, 9th-11th grade students will have a REMOTE learning all day on the 31st to allow for all faculty & staff to be present with seniors.
Wednesday, May 31 | Graduation Rehearsal
Immediately following the conclusion of Senior Awards Breakfast and a boxed lunch, all seniors will travel to UCA 2.0 for mandatory Graduation rehearsal. Seniors are allowed/encouraged to bring a change of clothes for rehearsal. We anticipate being done with rehearsal by no later than 2:00 P.M., at which point seniors will be dismissed for the day.
Thursday, June 1, 8:30 A.M. | Celebration of Learning (Last Day of School)
As has been our custom for the past two years, the last day of school for 9th-11th grade students will be our Celebration of Learning. In the morning, we will hold an awards and passage ceremony. In the afternoon, we will gather at TBA park (Veteran’s Park is not available, new location TBA) for an all-school family cookout.
Friday, June 2, 10:00 A.M. | Graduation
This year’s Commencement Ceremony, celebrating the Class of 2023, will be held in the sanctuary of our new campus at 700 E. 170th St., South Holland, IL.
