Dear Parents/Guardians of students in grades K, 6, & 11:

Pennsylvania Public School Code requires that students in grades K, 6, 11 receive a State mandated Physical Exam of their health. In addition, the State requires the completion of medical questionnaires which are to become part of the student's health record.
Letters and Physical Examination Forms were mailed home to parents/guardians of any student who has not turned in a completed exam from their private physician. If your child has not received a physical exam from their physician, our school Physician will be in the District on Tuesday, December 5th, to complete exams for students who have not met this State requirement. This is only for students in grades K, 6, 11. The exam is a brief evaluation of your child’s health, and there is no cost to parents. You are welcome to be present during your child’s physical examination, please contact the Nurse to set up an appointment.

Please complete the required Authorization and Physical Examination Health Questionnaire, sign and date it, and have your child return it to the School Nurse in your student’s building by December 1st. If your child had a recent physical exam, sports physical, or driving exam, please have the form faxed to Union High School, 814-473-8201.


Thank you.

Dear Families,

Union School District participates in a program called Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This program is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve a healthy breakfast and lunch at zero cost to all enrolled students for the 2023-2024 school year, without collecting household applications.

Our students do have the opportunity to purchase “extras” at meal times. For that reason, money can still be added to their accounts via the My School Bucks website.

Also, due to the district’s participation in CEP, your family may be eligible to receive discounts on home internet service. Information on these can be found in the attachment. You will need documentation that your child attends Union School District to be used in the application process.

We will continue to provide cost-saving updates throughout the year, as they become available.

Thank You,

Mrs. Jessica McCleary
Food Service Director

Attached is a tri-fold flyer informing families of the bennifits of using Union's Cyber Partnership Program if you are considering Remote Learning.

Last evening (10/19/23) the school board approved a requested calendar change. On March 15th we will operate on an early dismissal schedule and students will continue their school day in the afternoon as a remote learning afternoon. Teachers will be expected to provide independent learning activities for the afternoon. Completion of these activities/assignments will be utilized to account for attendance.

Below is some information from Pennsylvania Association of School Board Officials which investigates the disadvantages of Cyber Charter School enrollments.

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.
