No School February 21-25 (Winter Break). Enjoy the time with your family and friends!
February Break COVID Testing
It is not required to test prior to returning to school on Monday, February 28th. However, we do encourage families to test over the break prior to returning to school, but it is not required. As always, it is important to take part in regular testing for students and staff. In an effort to support our students over the break, we will provide an additional opportunity for optional testing on Friday, February 25th for USD students and staff.
The optional COVID testing will be open for Union School District students and staff only on Friday, February 25th at Noddin Elementary School in the multi-purpose room from 9 AM to 3 PM.
If that option doesn’t work for you there are also the community testing hubs at Dartmouth or UMS. Please see times listed below.
Parent Teacher Conferences begin Wednesday, March 3rd. School is out at 1:05 (Kinders) and 1:15 PM (1st-5th)
