Frost experiment!! Mrs. Missey's third grade observed how water evaporates, turns into water vapor, condenses, and with colder temperatures freezes. They also reviewed the stages of the water cycle. How cool!
4th graders had their first counselor's class this week! Did you know each grade level receives whole class instruction from our counselors who work on social emotional and other skills with our students. We are so lucky to have some of the best counselors around!
Interested in the Scouts program? Check out the informational meeting this Thursday.

How cute are these writers notebooks? 4th graders recently took ownership over their own writing spaces by decorating their notebooks. We think they turned out pretty snazzy! Great job!

Week 2, let's go! This team is ready to rock the school year with our Central Wildcats!
Good evening, Union R-XI Families:
We hope everyone is having a great school year thus far! We’d like to take a moment to share some information about the state testing that occurred this past spring.
The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade-Level Assessments and End of Course (EOC) exams evaluate students’ progress toward the Missouri Learning Standards. The MAP Grade-Level Assessments include assessments in the subject areas of Communication arts (grades 3-8), Mathematics (grades 3-8), and Science (grades 5 and 8). The EOC, End of Course Assessments include assessments in the subject areas of Algebra I, Biology, English II, and Government. These assessments provide important information that contributes to decisions concerning individual students, groups of students, and educational programs.
We have recently received your child’s Individual Student Report (ISR). This report includes an Achievement Level, which will describe his or her performance for the grade level and content area as Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, or Advanced. The report will also include a short description of the knowledge and skills that are typically demonstrated by students in each Achievement Level for their grade level and content area.
We plan to send these reports home at the Middle School and High School with the first round of progress reports, as well as share them at the elementary schools at parent/teacher conferences. If you would like your child's report prior to that time, please reach out to your building counselor for the report.
We deeply value our students and know that they are SO much more than a test score on paper; however, we are also extremely proud of the hard work they put in. We are excited to share in their accomplishments on these state assessments as their hard work pays off. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or we can help in any way!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful first day of school. There were so many smiling faces and excited students all across our district!
We know there were some delays today with dismissal, so we most certainly appreciate your patience. Please know we are making adjustments and modifications and hope to minimize delays over the next few days.
Thank you again for your continued partnership and have a wonderful rest of your week!
