Communications & Community Relations

We invite all members of our community to find our District out-and-about, whether at the Pocopson Founder’s Day Celebration, Historic Chadds Ford Days, or the Unionville Community Fair! For more information, please see the UCFSD Calendar. 
 

We invite all members of our community to follow along via the District’s Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube! 

UCFSD encourages community members to respond to posts and share comments that are constructive and courteous toward the school community. Statements and opinions expressed by visitors to the account do not reflect the opinions of the District. The Board approves the following rules for public interaction with district-owned social media accounts: 

• No sexual harassment, racial, ethnic, religious or nationality intimidation towards an individual or individuals in the school community.
• No disclosure of confidential personal information regarding students or staff.
• No speech that traditionally has not been protected under the First Amendment, such as obscenity, defamation, and speech integral to criminal conduct.
• No speech that is profane.
• No speech that constitutes true threats such as inciting imminent lawless action or subjecting individuals to fear of violence.
• No speech that is spamming in nature (same comment posted repeatedly). 
• Comments must be related to the original school district post.
• No links to external websites. 

Individual comments or posts that violate the above guidelines may be hidden or deleted (if possible given the social media platform) without further notice. Posts may not be hidden or deleted simply because they are critical of the school district, or because they promote an unpopular opinion, if the post otherwise complies with the above guidelines. 

For more information, please see UCFSD Policy 815.1 (Social Media). 

We invite all members of our community to sign up for our monthly UCFSD E-News using the form in the footer of our website.

If you would like to promote an event, program, or service of any other community organization, please register as a provider with Peachjar directly at www.peachjar.com. You will be prompted to select your school(s) for distribution, upload your flyer, and choose a call-to-action. At checkout, Peachjar will charge you $25 per school distributed to.
