Happy Friday, Ukiah Unified! Grades and progress reports have gone out recently and I want everyone to know that If your child needs help academically, I urge you to reach out to their teacher and school for support. After-school tutoring and enrichment are available at every school site. Please take advantage of these opportunities to help our children accelerate their learning. Contact your child’s school for more information. Ukiah High School teachers conduct tutoring in the library every day during periods 1, 4, 5, and 8. All subjects are covered and students can just drop in for help. Additionally, students in grades 6–12 will soon be able to access online tutoring through tutor.com. More information is coming soon.
We have made changes to our COVID-19 Safety Plan to reflect the California Department of Public Health changes. Our plan now includes guidance for dances and large assemblies (pg. 15) at our schools.
Bus Route Time Changes Beginning on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, Route 5 serving Oak Manor, Pomolita, and Ukiah High School will be absorbed into Routes 6, 9, and 16. Service to all currently active stops will continue, but times may have changed. For more information on transportation routes, please go to our website at www.uusd.net and click on bus routes. We are making this change in order to train additional drivers which will help us in the long run with our bus driver shortage. Routes 11 and 15 are still suspended due to the shortage of bus drivers.
