Guess who's a blue ribbon school? Union Elementary! Looking forward to seeing all the parents and guardians at our celebration of learning today.



We had a great day at field day today! Don't forget to wear blue tomorrow for our celebration of learning. Doors will open at 11am for K graduation. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there.

It's field day TOMORROW, May 14th. Please read the attached flyer. Wear the shirt color for your class if you have it and let's have fun! Please remember to wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for it to be a little cooler to start. A sweatshirt, water and a hat are the bare essentials. See you tomorrow.

Field day! We are trying something different this year and having it at the high school track on May 14th. See attached flyer that was also sent home with your child today.

The Union family fun fest is still on for a 3.30p start! It is a bit damp so plan accordingly and try to beat the rain which is forecasted around 5pm.
It's heart of a ram Friday! These students were demonstrating Responsibility, Kindness and Empathy. Nice job RAMs!🐏

Dear Parents,
We have made the difficult decision to cancel all upcoming zoo field trips, including our 1st grade visit. We know this is disappointing for our students and families and we regret having to make this change.
This decision comes from our commitment to keeping your child safe and protecting their well-being. Recent safety concerns at local zoos have led us to cancel these trips.
While we won't be visiting the zoo, we are working hard to plan another activity that your child will enjoy. Your child's teacher will reach out soon with details about what's coming next.
Thank you for your understanding and for trusting us with your child's safety.
