Enrollment and General Information

UHS Enrollment Becoming a Wildcat!

 

Enrollment

STEP 1: Parent/Guardian completes an enrollment packet. Missing documents will delay the enrollment process.
STEP 2: Student completes a written writing sample.
STEP 3: UHS requests student’s records from previous school.
STEP 4: Student and parent/guardian meet with an assigned counselor to schedule classes and to complete an educational plan.

Student Records

Student records are confidentially maintained on our computer data system and in a student’s hard copy cumulative file. Student names and addresses are shared with ASB and activity groups (i.e. yearbook, senior class, etc.), school photographer, military services recruiters, colleges, and vocational schools unless parents of students who are under 18, or students who are 18 years old or older, request that such information not be shared

Transfer Grades

Students transferring from another high school will have their courses and grades transferred from their previous school onto their UHS transcript. Courses will be tagged appropriately based on how they were honored at their previous school, ie honors, college prep, etc. If alternative grading was used, the grades will be transferred over to our grading system.

 

Students are expected to meet UHS graduation requirements when transferring from another school.

Communication

Breakfast and Lunch Program

Free and reduced priced meals are available, simply fill out an application. About 60% of UHS students receive this benefit. In the district 80% qualify.

 

Please apply, we receive additional academic funds for qualifying students. Free and reduced lunch qualification also benefits students in qualifying for fee waivers for college applications, SAT/ACT testing, and AP testing.

The daily menu includes: a homemade entrée, a complete salad bar, sandwiches and pre-packaged meals.

 

Transportation

Home to school transportation is managed by the school district, please see the district web site for information. Bus schedules are also posted in the main office. After school late bus transportation is also available when enough students are accessing this service.

Lockers

Student lockers are issued on orientation days. Lockers are the property of the district and issued as a privilege. Report problems to a campus supervisor. Report thefts to the office in A23. Don’t share combinations. Don’t store valuables in lockers. Do keep lockers clean! Locker gates are open 7:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.

Lost and Found

The “lost and found” is located in the main office. Turn in “found” items to a teacher or the office immediately to ensure proper return. Found items not returned are considered stolen items. Found items are kept for 45 days.

Insurance

UHS does not maintain health insurance for students. Insurance is available to Ukiah High School students through Myers & Stevens Insurance Company. The policy includes accident insurance to cover the student while at school, while traveling to or from school, or while at a school sponsored event (including participating on an athletic team). Forms may be obtained in the counseling office and Student Activities office. The school is responsible only for immediate first aid.

 

 

Textbooks and Instructional Materials

These are distributed by teachers or through the library check out system and are issued to students to support learning. Students will be charged if these items are damaged or lost.

 

If an item is lost, notify the school immediately so a replacement item can be issued and the corresponding bill sent as yearbooks, transcripts and diplomas will not be issued to students with outstanding fines for textbooks, chromebooks, books, other instructional materials or food services.

 

Health Services

We have a nurse and health technician on to assist students feeling ill or with health-related questions. The health office is located in the gym (left foyer). If this office is unattended report to the Counseling Office

 

Procedure for illness/accident

Report to class first and report illness/accident to the teacher immediately. If referred to the health office, you will be given a pass by your teacher, care will be administered by a health professional, and a parent/guardian will be notified.

 

 

Procedure for medications

The health office does not maintain a pharmacy of nonprescription medications. Prescription and non-prescription medication must be taken to the school office to be registered, secured and administered. This process requires a completed parent form, doctor’s signature, prescription label (if applicable), and medication instructions. Report changes immediately.
