Dear Parents and Guardians,
Like you, we were so sad to get the news that we will not be back to normal school this year. I’m mourning the loss of graduation for my son that is a senior, and I know it’s especially hard on our 8th graders, who are missing those things that they’ve looked forward to for three years. We know how much our students are missing their friends and teachers. We are missing them too!
Lockers
I’m sure you’re wondering how to claim things from student lockers. Our building is closed to the public in accordance with directives from the state and county. We won’t be able to make a plan to clean-out lockers until they lift some of the Covid-19 restrictions. My guess is that will be sometime mid to late May. As soon as we get the green light, we will get back to you with a plan.
Chromebooks
We know now that school will be online for the rest of the year. The one exception we can make in letting parents come into the Union building is to pick up a Chromebook (because it’s so important for student learning!)
Our Main Office will be open to check out Chromebooks on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 to 1:00 p.m.
Need to Speak to a Person?
Our main number is being answered remotely between 8:00 and 3:00 each week day.
Announcement for Advanced Theater

Video auditions are due by Friday, April 24th. Please contact Ms. Grant (brooke.grant@canyonsdistrict.org) with any questions!
Announcements from PTSA
- Memory Books – Memory Books are being printed right now. We will get information in the coming days on how they will be distributed. If you have Memory Book questions you can contact Candace Koester at the email below.
- PTSA Board for 2020-21 – Our amazing PTSA President, Candace Koester, has given Union 5 years of service as the president. The rest of her board will not have students at Union next year. They basically need to fill every position on the board for next year. If you are willing to help out, please contact Candace: candacekoester@msn.com
Word of Encouragement
We know we will have to do some make-up and review at the start of next year. Anything you can do to support your child’s learning at home will help. If you’re overwhelmed and overburdened, you’re in good company. Please don’t worry; do what you can, and we will regroup when school resumes.
Warmly,
Kelly Tauteoli
