Two more chances to celebrate National School Breakfast Week! Students are “Clued In” to healthy and tasty school breakfasts! Wednesday the district hit an all-time high with 269 breakfasts served! Let’s see if we can continue to increase the number of students that take advantage of school breakfast. In case you didn’t know, students that receive free lunch also receive a free breakfast! See you in the cafeteria!

Due to some slippery roads in the country Upper Sandusky schools will be on a two hour delay today, Thursday, January 6, 2025.

If your child has a food allergy, it's crucial to inform your school about it so they can create a safe environment by educating staff, managing food in the cafeteria, and having a plan in place to handle potential allergic reactions. Keep your child’s food allergy list up to date in Final Forms. This will alert the cafeteria staff in the point of sale system, PaySchools, when your child makes purchases is the school cafeteria. Information entered in final forms is shared with the cafeteria point of sale system so by keeping your students information current the cafeteria staff will have the information they need to create a safe environment. Thank you for choosing school meals!

Please be sure to forget everything about this flier and email. The parent team at Union is absolutely not sponsoring another pie a teacher (or principal) in the face fundraiser. Two of your principals have beards and one has very long hair which makes cleaning pie from it very difficult. Please do not vote for your favorite teacher to be pied. Also, be sure that your class does not have 100% participation so that principals are pied. Also please forget that money is being collected on 2/28 & 3/7 after lunch in the Auditorium. Sincerely, Dr. Watson, Mrs. Parrot & Mr. Dible
