Gradelink Portal

All parents who have email addresses on file with the school have been sent their username and password either at the beginning of the school year or when they enrolled their child(ren) during the year. Upper classmen may also have their own username and password which allows them access to their class pages, grades, and assignments.

(Please note that these usernames and passwords will roll over into the new year if you are continuing with the school.)

If you have forgotten your username or password, once you click on the Gradelink Portal button below, please click the “Forgot Password” link. You will need to use the email address that the school has on file. If you are still unable to access the portal, please contact the school.

UCA’S Guiding Philosophy

We believe the five pillars of UCA will most effectively be assimilated into a child’s core character when they are immersed in a complete culture of our five pillars: Biblical Foundation, Village Approach, Christian Values, High Academic Expectations, and Character-Based Approach. UCA is a nurturing and loving learning community of key influencers including students, faculty and families who together, through the way they live, will inspire the children at UCA to grow in these three pillars. For this reason, the UCA team will work diligently to find like-minded members for our family, including our students, the families we serve, our faculty and our Board to ensure that all individuals will have a positive influence on one another. Together we are shaping the lives of the young people in our Academy to develop them into strong leaders equipped with academic excellence, Christian values, leadership training and experience preparing them to learn, lead and excel in all walks of life. Perhaps more than any other feature of our Academy, we believe forming this unique community of individuals aligned in mission and living by example in their own lives, is critical to excelling in achieving our mission.

Based on our guiding philosophy, we have created a common set of expectations we will hold each other accountable for to help form this unique community of like-minded people.

As a parent I agree to:

  1. Accept the UCA philosophy and live it in our lives.
  2. Strive to exhibit Christian values and character and support my child’s learning of the Bible according to UCA’s Statement of Faith.
  3. Provide a Christ-centered support system at home.
  4. Promote the Academy’s culture by being positive and encouraging with staff, other parents, and especially with students.
  5. Inform and provide constructive input to appropriate staff at UCA in a timely manner should I become aware of obstacles to my student’s education.
  6. Ensure that my student attends the Academy regularly and on time.
  7. Notify the Academy promptly in the case of my student’s absence.
  8. As often as possible, schedule appointments outside of Academy hours.
  9. Abide by Academy policies regarding check-in/check-out procedures and visitor policies.
  10. Abide by Academy policies and procedures regarding student drop-off and carpool.
  11. Ensure that my student receives sufficient rest and has a nutritious breakfast and lunch.
  12. Ensure that my student arrives at UCA on time prepared for class with necessary materials and in Academy-approved attire.
  13. Provide an environment in the home that will make it possible for students to engage in scholarly pursuits on a daily basis. This should include opportunities for exercise, study, homework, and reading.
  14. Actively participate in the education of my child including checking for homework completion.
  15. Provide positive reinforcement for improved performance on a regular basis.
  16. Regularly discuss and monitor school materials and assignments with my child.
  17. Support my student’s education through attendance at Academy meetings, parent-teacher conferences and other opportunities for parent engagement.
  18. Take responsibility for my child’s behavior.
  19. Work to resolve conflicts or behavior challenges in a positive way.
