Welcome back, UCC community, to a brand new school year.

Please ensure your children are up-to-date with their required vaccinations, which can be reported online. We also want to remind everyone about preventing communicable diseases like measles, preparing for respiratory virus season with upcoming flu and COVID-19 vaccines, and utilizing valuable resources for dental care, nutrition, sexual health, and tobacco/vaping prevention. Please stay informed about hot weather and wildfire smoke safety by checking your local forcast.
