Today at 10:05 we had a student with a medical emergency. At that time we put the school on an instructional lockdown for 16 minutes so that EMS personnel could get in the building quickly. At no time was anyone in danger. Safety is a top priority. Please call Mrs. Parrott with any questions.
We encourage families and community members to take a moment to read and stay connected.

It only takes a minute or two, and your support will greatly assist us in meeting our financial goals. Funds are used for future schoolwide activites. For example, in the past they have paid for Right to read snacks, the puppet and magic shows and craft materials.

Union Elementary
Happy New Year! We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Monday. We will kick things off right away with our Right to Read Week activities. This year’s theme is “Get ready to hibernate with a great book!”, and we have several fun and engaging activities planned.
Monday – Reading in Our “Den” (Flashlights Needed!)
On Monday, students will be reading in their classroom “dens” to help set the mood for a cozy reading experience. A flashlight will be an important part of this activity, as it will allow students to read comfortably in our den setting and make the experience extra special. If at all possible, please be sure your child brings a flashlight to school on Monday.
Throughout the week, we will be tracking the number of minutes students spend reading at school. Our goal is for each student to read at least 100 minutes at school, and of course, additional reading at home is always encouraged.
Tuesday – Pajama Day
On Tuesday, we will be “hibernating with a book,” so students are invited to wear their pajamas to school.
More information about this fun and educational week will be coming soon, but I wanted to be sure you had these important details before the weekend.
We look forward to seeing everyone very soon!

As a reminder here is our December countdown for the year.
