With a few modifications we will thankfully be able to return to in person learning tomorrow. Much gratitude to all involved in working to resolve the repairs ASAP. Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful Mothers out there! UC is blessed to have some of the very BEST!

For those who cannot make it to graduation, you can view a live feed on the Chisholm Heights Baptist Church Facebook page. Graduation begins at 4:00 pm.

Huge thank you to all involved in tackling this unexpected project! Lots of progress being made on the waterlines today! Since we had to be out anyway we went ahead and took care of the pesky termites that decided to try to slip into the elementary today as well. Very productive day. Continued prayers the water can be completed and wrapped up before Monday. Don't forget to join us tomorrow afternoon at Chisholm Heights Baptist Church in Mustang for our Graduation Ceremony. Again thank you for your patience and understanding. Much appreciated!

Unfortunately the water line break has been much more severe than expected. They have managed to temporarily fix the lines going to the South today, eliminating the continued flooding inside the building that was occurring. However, the lines to the North have now been severely impacted. Luckily they will have tomorrow and the weekend to complete the job. Unfortunately that again puts us virtual tomorrow. Senior Robing ceremony and other activities will continue as they will not be held on the main campus. Senior families please be watching for updates on tomorrow's schedule as we have Senior Luncheon, Graduation Practice and Robing Ceremony all tomorrow. Grades PK-11 please be watching for directions from your teachers and check your email and Google classrooms for detailed instructions. We will work to reschedule Super Kids Day to next week if possible so our kids don't miss out. We will push out an updated end of year schedule as soon as we have definitive information. Thank you for your patience and graciousness during these difficult and trying times. It is much appreciated.

CONGRATULATIONS to our April Lions Club Students of the Month! Katie Parkhurst - 1st Grade Jerron Johnson - 6th Grade Luke Biggs - 10th Grade

Cheer clinic and tryouts are being rescheduled to Thursday May 22nd from 12:30 to 3:30. Please be outside around 3:15, your athlete will be out as they finish. Please feed them a good lunch ahead of time. If anyone would be willing to donate some protien bars for the girls to snack, we have someone donating water. Please email k.plaster@unioncity.k12.ok.us with any questions.

It was "Bubble Gum Day" in kindergarten! It was also their last day with their Senior aid, Jayci Travis.

It is with extreme frustration that we relay the following facilities update that impacts tomorrow significantly. In the last few hours we have had a water line break/leak causing some flooding and the main water line to the school had to be shut off. The plumbers will be there at 8 AM after the water is able to recede a bit. Unfortunately with no water access for restrooms and kitchen we can not be on campus for sanitary purposes. Tomorrow will need to be a virtual day as they expect to be working at least all day tomorrow to rectify the problem. Teachers will reach out directly for each grade level for further instructions. MS/HS students will have assignments in their Google classrooms. Senior Trip and Athletic Banquet will continue as scheduled as those facilities are not impacted by the water leak. We apologize for the inconvenience and do not enjoy the virtual structure either (thus the extra weather days added into the schedule next year working to eliminate them entirely) however shifting all of the awards ceremonies etc for the kids to return the next week to make up a day seems like a hardship on all the working parents that have already taken time off to share the celebrations with their children. We deeply apologize and will do our best to rectify the situation as quickly as possible with as few schedule changes as possible.
