Hello! This is Unity Superintendent Scott Riddle.
Tomorrow, Thursday, January 24, 2019 we will resume school and be running buses on our hard surface only routes.
If you as a parent, do not feel comfortable sending your child to school tomorrow, you may keep your child home and call in their absence at their school in the morning. Their absence will not count against them as an unexcused absence.
The reality is the gravel road conditions will take some time to improve based on the existing weather forecasts. We need to make school available to those students who live in town or can safely travel to our hard surface pickup spots.
Again, if you as a parent do not feel comfortable sending your child to school tomorrow, it is your obligation to look out for the best interest of your child and we will respect your decision.
The road conditions will continue to be evaluated every day and if main roads are deemed unsafe or other factors such as wind chill temperature become a factor, school still may be cancelled.
Thank you for your understanding during this unusual winter.

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.
