    • Last week during Monday Meeting and Friday Meeting, we reviewed the expectations and protocols for student conduct at UCA. If you have not yet reviewed these slides, please do so and have a follow-up conversation with your student about their Module 1 experience. Your partnership is essential and valued.

  • College Readiness:

    • A UCA parent has shared information about two programs the Dolton Public Library is hosting via Zoom. Both programs are for high schoolers and adults.

    • The first program is called "So You Want To Go To College", presented by the Family Centered Educational Agency & Talent Search. The website is: familycentered.org. Here is the audio link from V103, advertising this program to give you a bit more information.

    • In addition, the library will also be hosting a program on October 23rd, from 12-1 pm via Zoom. It is a Pharmacy Profession Program, presented by the Chicago State University College of Pharmacy. This program, like the college readiness program, is open to high schoolers and adults.

    • Please contact Mrs. Lillie Byrd, Youth Service Program Coordinator for the Dolton Public Library and proud parent of a UCA junior, for more information. Her work number is 708-849-2385 ext. 4.
