Attention Parents!

Please be sure to check your child’s backpack for information about the Patton Middle School 2010 Cookie Dough Fundraiser. Students can turn in orders first thing in the morning in the cafeteria on Tuesday, November 23 and on Tuesday, November 30. Otis Spunkmeyer Ready-to-Bake Cookie Dough Snacks & More can then be picked up from the school from 2:30 – 6 pm on Monday, December 20th.   Sales benefit the school’s Activity Fund. As always, participation is voluntary.

Canned Food Drive

It is time for the Canned Food drive again. Please donate any non perishable food item. Your donations will go to the Kennett Food Cupboard and the food will benefit needy people in our community. You can bring in donations until December 10th. Just place them in the collection bins in each primetime.  Please donate to help those who aren't as fortunate.

Student Activity/User Fees

The Unionville–Chadds Ford School District has formed a committee to investigate the topic of student activity and user fees. Ultimately this committee will make recommendations to the Board regarding the future fee structure for students to participate in activities and/or athletics.

New Traffic Patterns

Due to the construction at the high school, traffic patterns will change for the 2010-2011 school year for both the high school and middle school. We thank parents, students and staff in advance for their patience as we change these patterns. Visit the UCFSD website to learn more about the new traffic patterns.
