Good afternoon United Local, as of Sunday, August 27th, the actual school building has power and we are anticipating a great opening. I did just receive a report that some roads are still closed at this time. Our transportation department will continue to work closely with township departments and emergency services to do their best to navigate the closures. If you live on a road that is temporarily closed, please call our transportation department and we will work to arrange another pick-up and drop-off location until the road is open.
If your child for whatever reason cannot attend school (power, road closures, etc), it will be considered an excused absence. Please contact the school as soon as possible and we will work with families on an individual basis.
Due to the power outage Friday into Saturday, lunch menus will likely need to be adjusted. All menus will be updated as soon as possible for your planning.
The United Local School Campus will be closed today due to lack of power and possible wind damage in the area. We will also not be running the Career Center bus shuttle today because of the previously mentioned conditions,
If you still want to purchase fall season passes we will have them on sale tomorrow morning in the high school from 9-11.
Just a reminder that the league has changed ticket prices. For all high school events it will be $7 for adults and $5 for students.
**For tomorrow's football game if you have a pass please enter the pass gate by the home ticket booth.

BEGIN SCHOOL ANNUAL FORMS - TODAY (see: https://tinyurl.com/UnitedForms )
All United Local yearly required student forms will now be completed online. This will help in keeping important information up to date and will also help parents the next time they go to fill out forms or need to update student information as it changes. These forms include the Emergency Medical Form, Over the Counter Medication Permission Form, Handbook Signature Page, Computer Student Agreement form, and the Title 1 Compact form.
Forms for the start of school would traditionally come home in a packet on the first day of school. Now, they are online and parents can begin filling them out electronically now. All forms are required to be completed by September 29. If you do not have access to a computer, call the office and we will make arrangement for you to come in and complete the forms for your child.
Foundation work is being done on the new cafeteria and kitchen! A big thank you to Hammond Construction for their excellent work!
Next week we will have fall passes on sale Tuesday and Thursday from 9-12. Enter door 14 and go to the AD's office.
Due to our construction, we will only be able to utilize the current elementary office as our new main office, for our entry and exit. With that in mind, all students, PK-12, will be on the 7:40-2:40 schedule. All enrolled students should be receiving a packet in the mail within the next few days. Included in each packet will be our narrative and map detailing this school year's logistics plan for arrivals and dismissals, your student's scheduled bus pick up and drop off time (if assigned to a bus), available dates to come visit your student's building and our new phone extension directory that will be going into effect. All student parking will now be in the lower (south) lot, which used to be a t-ball field. Just an addition reminder that all student forms will be completed online this year. Students will be bringing home instructions to assist in completing these forms on the first day of school that can be found on our district website https://www.eaglepride.net/page/forms. They are marked as Yearly Student Forms: Grades K-5 Yearly Student Forms and Grades 6-12 Yearly Student Forms. All School forms are to be completed online by September 8, 2023. We hope that you all have been able to enjoy your summer break. We look forward to seeing everyone on the first day of school, August 28th.
