Please join me in congratulating our October POP Connections winner… Lindsey Riley! 🎉Thank you to everyone who took the time to share some positivity with our UMS families. Thanks to your efforts, 88 families received a thoughtful message highlighting something great their child is doing at school.

These small gestures go a long way in strengthening the relationship between home and school, and they remind families that their child’s hard work is seen and valued.

Good evening, #unionrxi:

As a district, we understand the significant and far-reaching implications of the current government shutdown. We recognize the shutdown has adversely affected many within our community. As such, we wanted to re-share the process one would need to follow to possibly qualify for Free and Reduced meals. If your family wages and household income have been negatively impacted by the government shutdown, you may now qualify for the Free and Reduced benefit when you previously may not have.

Please click this link with instructions on how to access Parent Portal to fill out the Free and Reduced form: https://www.unionrxi.org/o/urxisd/page/food-services

If you have any questions about this benefit, please contact our Food Service Department at 636.583.8626 and ask to speak with Stacie Eilers.

Additionally, because we are aware SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is set to expire at the end of October, our district is prepared to step up and help. Of course, a lot can change over the next few days with our government and the overall status of SNAP. Having said that, we wanted to provide some reassurance to our community that we are committed to helping.

IF SNAP expires and is NOT extended, the district will provide FREE breakfast for ALL #unionrxi students starting Monday, November 3.

Please note, this is IF and ONLY IF the government does not extend the SNAP benefit. Should the government extend and reinstate SNAP benefits, breakfast will cost and be treated just as it is now.

We understand this uncertainty for our community and our students is challenging, but it’s our hope this small gesture can provide our families some comfort and relief.

Thank you for your continued partnership and thank you for all you do for our community and district.

Congratulations to our 6th and 7th graders who completed their Girls on the Run practice 5K around the track and school yesterday after school. Everyone did a fantastic job! Special shout-out to Mr. Kelley who ran with the girls in what was, I'm sure, his second run of the day, and to Sophia Orejel who crossed the finish line first. Nice work, ladies, and coach Kelley!

Their actual 5K will take place in Forest Park on Nov. 15. Proud of their work this season.
