The mission of the Union School District, in harmony with our community, is to educate and empower students to become continuous learners in an environment which ensures that each student gains knowledge and skills, self-motivation and related positive attitudes necessary to compete equitably with peers locally and globally towards meaningful and productive lives.
Dear Community,
Over the past weekend it was brought to my attention that a recent local athletic booster club fundraising drawing was held which has sparked controversy concerning how it was conducted. I would like to remind everyone that booster organizations and parent/community organized support groups are not an extension of the school district, but rather a group of individuals operating independently of the school district in an effort to provide support to extracurricular groups and direct financial support to the students involved. School districts often will approve the overall type of fundraisers and the expenditure of funds when donated directly to the district, but we do not operate or regulate the operation of fundraising activities conducted by such groups. Anyone with questions or concerns related to booster club fundraising activities are encouraged to contact the individuals who manage these groups directly rather than school district officials, as again, these are not school district managed organizations.
I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the parents and individuals who donate their time to these organizations and groups in an effort to support our programs and students. They dedicate and donate large amounts of their time to these activities and events for the benefit of our students and extracurricular groups.
Sincerely,
Dr. John Kimmel
Superintendent

Good Afternoon Parents and Guardians,
Over the past week, we have noticed an increasing number of cases of head lice among students, particularly at the high school building. While lice are often common among groups of children such as in schools, we want to ensure that we all work together to address the situation promptly and effectively. While lice are not known to carry any diseases or present a serious health concern, they may present discomfort and may easily spread through close contact. We are asking you to please check your child’s hair regularly for signs of lice such as small white eggs. If you find evidence of head lice, we request that you do the following:
1. Treat your child with an appropriate lice treatment. Many over-the counter products are available, or your doctor may recommend treatment.
2. Remove nits from your child's hair. This is an important step in preventing re-infestation.
3. Treat any bedding, soft furniture, clothing, etc., which may also contain lice or nits/eggs.
4. Notify the school nurse if your child has lice, signs of lice, and/or has been treated for lice so we can monitor the situation.
5. Encourage your child to avoid head-to-head contact with others and not to share personal items such as hats, combs, or brushes.
We understand that this situation can be concerning, but please know that with early detection and prompt treatment, lice can be controlled. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued assistance in maintaining a healthy environment for all students. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary. For more information concerning treatment best practices, please see the nurse's page on our district website (nurse's webpage will be available soon).

First opinions are often formed based upon your physical appearance. How you dress often projects an image which is related to your behavior and attitude. Therefore, it is imperative that you dress in a manner that projects a positive image. Secondly, your dress must be chosen with safety in mind. Any clothing which may pose a safety hazard is not permitted. Lastly, your form of dress/appearance should promote a positive learning environment and cannot cause a disruption to your education or the education of others.
