United South Central is proud to join schools across the country in celebrating Unity Day on Wednesday, October 22, 2025. This special day promotes the powerful message of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion for all students.
To show our commitment to creating a bully-free, supportive school environment, students and staff are encouraged to wear orange, the official color of Unity Day. By wearing orange, we stand together to send a visible message that every student matters and deserves to feel safe, valued, and included.
Let’s continue working together to make USC a place where kindness leads the way and all students feel a true sense of belonging.

🚌 National School Bus Safety Week 🚌
October 20–24, 2025
At USC, we are proud to recognize National School Bus Safety Week and remind everyone of the important role we all play in keeping our students safe.
Here are a few simple ways families and drivers can help:
✅ Remind children to stay seated and listen to their driver.
✅ Always wait for the bus to stop completely before approaching.
✅ Use the handrail when getting on and off the bus.
✅ Drivers: stop when the stop arm is out—it’s the law and it saves lives.
✅ Give buses plenty of space on the road.
Thank you to our amazing bus drivers who get students to and from school safely every day!
