Union City Public Schools

We are excited for Heather Babione to be joining the UC staff as our Family & Consumer Science Teacher!

As most everyone knows the Oklahoma Legislature passed a bill regarding personal electronic devices in school that prohibits the use of all cellular devices from 'bell to bell'. For UCPS this means from 8:15AM-3:15PM. Attached is the policy we have adopted via the OsSBA guidelines. This policy is specific to UCPS. Consequences for potential infractions will be addressed on a case by case basis and will be listed in the student handbook which will be updated and posted on our website Monday. To begin the school year students/parents will be given the option to (1) keep the devices in their bags POWERED OFF from bell to bell but within reach in case of an emergency situation (2) be given a YONDR pouch which is a magnetized locking safe device to carry their phone in with multiple stations within the school and classrooms to immediately open the pouch in an emergency situation. Upon multiple infractions the YONDR pouch will be required to maintain the privilege of having the personal electronic devices on campus. Students using the YONDR pouches that are leaving campus for lunch OR last period for HS athletics will be allowed to unlock the. And use them OFF CAMPUS for safety purposes. Please remember that this policy is REQUIRED BY LAW and we will continue to work within the constraints of the law to ensure that your students have access to their devices in any emergency situation.

To all incoming 7th, 8th, and 9th grade basketball players, I’m excited to bring a very good chance to improve your game and make our program more successful with some summer camps and practices available to you. The month of June the high school is practicing Monday-Thursday and you are invited to join us (totally optional and voluntary) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-11am. We will be lifting weights and working on bettering our skills as players and as a team. So please join us as often as you can and we will have some fun, get some work in, and get to know each other better. If you have any questions please feel free to email me Leo Price and I will try to answer your questions the best I can. My hopes are that we can have a successful middle school team this and in the coming years. We must vastly improve on our basketball skills and team chemistry. All summer workouts are optional and playing time will not be affected one way or the other, but those who practice get better and those who don’t…well don’t. I want everyone to have a great summer so July is completely off for middle school but you are encouraged to attend camps, play pick up games, and stay connected to the game. Everything is in the name of making a successful year after year program for the UC Lady TIgers. Thanks, Coach Price

Congrats to ALL UC Tigers as we celebrate our academic victories at Tiger Arena! Reminder as we make our way to the awards ceremonies this morning all seats with names on them are reserved. The next opportunity to snag one will be in October!! Have a wonderful day and congrats to ALL!
