________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Today (Friday, April 13, 2018) there were reports of an incident at the school which involved the local sheriff's department. Our primary responsibility is the safety and welfare of our students. This is the reason we take all situations seriously. The incident revolved around comments which were supposedly made which we as a school felt needed to be investigated. After a thorough investigation the comments were not found to be substantiated.
At no time were any students or staff in imminent danger. The school did not go on lock down as there were no credible threats determined. If that had been the case then parents and community would have been notified immediately. Again we want to reassure everyone that the safety of students and staff is the top priority for school officials and law enforcement and we worked together to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

115 students at Unity Elementary raised $9780 for the American Heart Association through the Jump Rope for Heart Program. Each student who raised $100 got to throw a pie in Mrs. Eger's face, Mr. Ellerman's face, Mr. Zanger's face or Mrs. Russell's face. Elementary Principal Ellerman took the majority of the pies:) Two students raised over $1000 each. Brody Maynard a 2nd grader raised $1040 and Jersey Nichols also a 2nd grader raised $1051. They each got to throw 10 pies. Brody was involved in a horrible jet ski accident this summer and Jersey had heart surgery last year. Her doctors are still trying to figure out why her heart skips a beat and goes into tachycardia. It means so much to know that not only these two students understand the big picture of helping others, but that all the students who helped raise funds do. Brody and Jersey know what it's like to spend time in the hospital and rely on doctors and technology to make them better. They've seen other sick kids in the hospital, so they know the importance of helping others. Really valuable lesson for two 2nd graders to learn and inspire others.

CUSD 4 Time Off Policy
Unit 4 schools have implemented a new Student Time Off Policy that is in effect. The policy has two main aspects: Sundays off, and summer dead weeks.
There will be no student activities on campus on Sundays. There may be a few exceptions in the future (pending administrative approval), but in general Sundays will be set aside for students and staff to spend time with their families. The district has also determined to set aside weeks around the 4th of July and the Adams County Fair as time off.
2018 Board Policy Time Off Weeks: July 2-6, 2018 and July 23-27, 2018

District Wide Calendar
In an effort to improve communication, all Unity schools will be making use of a district wide calendar this year. We are still working to update all events for the upcoming school year, but you can find the calendar on the district website by clicking the "CALENDAR" link at the top. If you see school events missing that you would like to see us add to the calendar, please let us know.
