Union High School

Good evening, #unionrxi families: On Monday, April 8, students will have the opportunity to participate in a solar eclipse learning experience. Because student safety is absolutely paramount, we are asking each parent/guardian to grant permission for their child to participate in outside activities related to this rare experience. Each student will be provided appropriate protective eyewear on Monday 4/8, which if utilized and worn properly, will ensure their safety. Please emphasize to your child the importance of wearing their glasses for the duration of any outside viewing to ensure their safety. If you elect to not grant permission for your child to participate in the outside experience of the solar eclipse, they will be provided the opportunity to learn about this experience while in the confines of their respective building. Students who do not have this form completed will NOT be able to participate in any outside activities related to the solar eclipse. Please complete this form no later than Friday, April 5. https://tinyurl.com/unionsolar Thank you and #Uproud!

Good morning, #unionrxi: Our school district is dedicated to creating a positive experience for all whom we serve. As such, we’d love for you to spend a few minutes answering some questions about your experience in our school district. This short survey has been created with the help of an outside organization (Studer Education) and will be used as part of our commitment to improvement. A similar survey has been shared with our staff along with our students, grades 4-12. The survey will close on Friday, 3/8/24. https://forms.hcg.com/f/41709586/12bc/ Thank you for your time and input! #Uproud

We are #UProud to welcome Mr. Jacob Osseck to Team UHS! Jacob is a proud UHS Alumni who has a MA in Communications from the University of Missouri. Mr. Osseck chose to become the Math Para because he excels in Mathematics and hopes to one day teach Public Speaking collegiately. Jacob's hobbies include producing music, landscaping, workworking and baseball. Mr. Osseck stated, "one approach to education that I value greatly is being 100% real and genuine to the students. Being as open-minded and honest as I can be, allows for trustworthy relationships to form and credibility to be established. Looking forward to what both this position and UHS can teach me!" Welcome to the U, Mr. Osseck! We are so happy to have you back! #UnionRXI
