UCPS also has a freshly paved car-pick up line and privacy fencing along the playground.

To help keep traffic moving, UCS Police Chief Chad Deaton stated, “We’re probably going to beef up [SRO presence] the first couple days with some part-time guys to help us with traffic those first few days and add some drop-off zones.”

UCS also has a district-wide dress code that prohibits facial piercings and unnatural hair colors, gym clothes outside of PE, crop tops, and other items.

Meet Your Teacher is Monday, August 5 from 3 to 6 p.m.
