We will be hosting an in-person promotion ceremony where students can invite two guests from home. Zoomers will also be invited to attend the ceremony in-person, if they are comfortable. We will also have a live-streaming option. More information to come soon!
CA State Testing Update
The State Board of Education voted unanimously to seek a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education that would allow California school districts to use locally selected tests rather than the Smarter Balanced statewide assessments, which are required by state and federal education law. Because the waiver was passed, Union School District will not participate in the SBAC. Instead, students will participate in district approved benchmark assessments to monitor growth and progress.
This assessment is for grades 3-5. Please talk to your student's teacher for more information.
