The Union City Cyber Academy: A Partnership Between School Districts

Students who enroll in this program will still be Union City Area School District students. These students will work closely with their own guidance counselors here at UCASD to select from a host of courses that are tailored to their academic and career planning needs. The Warren County School District cyber instructors will update attendance, grades, and academic progress in the online portal, and our guidance and administrative teams will monitor this data closely and communicate with instructors to ensure students are properly supported as they work through this program. Our school district will provide the 1:1 technology for each student who enrolls in the Union City Cyber Academy. Students who receive specialized instruction through our special education program will still work closely with our Student Support Services department, including our Director of Special Education and our School Psychologist, to ensure those needs are being met.

This orientation was required for ALL cyber students in 2022-2023 - even those who were enrolled in the Union City Cyber Academy at any point during the 2021-2022 school year, as we have important and new information to review with you!

At that orientation, students will: 
  1. Engage in a thorough review of the student handbook, including revised attendance procedures and expectations and more!
  2. Receive a brief orientation of the Buzz Portal platform along with the new changes for 2022-2023.
