Dear UJA Family, I apologize, I forgot to add the hot lunch menu in this week. We ARE having hot lunch and it will be spaghetti, garlic bread, a salad, and a drink. Enjoy!

UJA Parents, Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have to cancel our scheduled Let's Move Day and Barbecue we had planned to have the coming Sunday. Rick Nelson

Good evening school family, I wanted to let you all know that we will not be having hot lunch this week or next week. Since we get back tomorrow, it was decided we would skip hot lunch this week, and next day Wednesday and Thursday are minimal school days due to the optional parent/teacher conferences. So the next hot lunch will be Wednesday April 17 and it will be spaghetti! Have a great evening and we can't wait to see everybody back on campus tomorrow!

UJA Parents, An accreditation team from WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) will be on campus tomorrow, March 21. They would like to meet with any parents who would be available at 1:00 pm to hear your thoughts on UJA. They will be meeting in the library that is below the gym. Please come if you can and share your feedback. Rick Nelson

UJA Parents, You received another email this morning from Ukiah Junior Academy inviting you to complete a survey about your experience at UJA this year. We value your feedback and encourage you, if you haven't already, to complete the survey by the end of next week. Thank you for your help. Rick Nelson

This Saturday, January 27 we are inviting and hoping you and your child can make it to the Ukiah Seventh-day Adventist church! Our high school students are leading out the entire church service! The 3rd - 10th grade choir has been practicing a few songs for the church service and we are hoping that they will be able to attend and sing! I am sending a paper home with your 3rd - 10th grade students with information on where and when! We can't wait to see you all there!

Tomorrow's Spirit Day is "Anything But a Backpack" day. Other than the creative alternative to a backpack, it is a regular school uniform day. Sorry for any confusion.

Book Reminder! Since we have been on break so long, this is just a reminder to send your child's library books back with them for library day tomorrow!

UJA Parents, Four of our faculty and staff have Covid. Another of us has Covid in the home. We have no one to be in the office. Who knows if more of us may symptom free or contagious before getting sick. We don't have enough subs to fill the empty spaces. I don't want to be responsible for getting more people sick for the Christmas Holiday. I know this is a huge inconvenience, but it seems the better part of wisdom to cancel school for the rest of the week. We look forward to seeing you all healthy and rested when school resumes January 8. Rick Nelson

UJA Parents, Our septic tank is being pumped and water is already flowing so all is on schedule for a return to normal tomorrow. Bathrooms will be cleaned this afternoon! See you all tomorrow. Thank you for picking up your children quickly. Rick Nelson

UJA Parents, We are experiencing a failure in our septic system and it is currently backed up. We need to ask that your children be picked up as soon as possible as we can no longer flush our toilets or use water at the moment. So sorry for the inconvenience! Rick Nelson
