Families can celebrate their child’s birthday by donating to the Alta Vista Library in their child’s honor!

We can choose a book based on your child’s age and interests or you can pick out a specific book that your child loves. Once chosen, a commemorative bookplate with your child's name will be placed in the book and it will be checked out to your child during their weekly library visit around his/her birthday. Summer birthdays can be celebrated any time of year.

Dear Families- The Union School District is proud to continue our partnership with We Tip. WeTip is designed to serve as a resource for students who experienced or observed school-related bullying, racism, harassment, vandalism or other inappropriate behaviors. Once a report is filed, WeTip will contact our Student Services in our Learning and Innovation Department with the specifics of the incident, and Student Services will work with the administration, counselors, and other school staff.

Through WeTip, the anonymity of the person reporting is maintained. Students and parents are also encouraged to contact school staff directly to report inappropriate behaviors because this typically provides us with more detailed and helpful information. A We Tip report can be submitted via the We Tip hotline (844) 408-0580 or online using this link.
