Responsible, Respectful, and On The Right Track!
A Message From Principal Burke
Hello Families….We have had a great start to our school year. It is hard to believe, but we are about 13% through the school year. We have so many amazing things to do this school year, and your kids are going to learn so much!
This year at South Union we are focusing on Attendance. The goal for the district and South Union is to have 95% attendance each month. When we meet our monthly attendance goal, we play Bingo as a school at the end of the month!
As we continue to move through the school year, we love to get feedback on what you think is going well and areas we can focus on. This month we would like to know about a few systems we put in place to see how you think they are working. If you have time, please click the link and answer the questions ….it should take less than 3 minutes!!!
