This month we’ll be promoting great attendance! Remember to be here every day and watch for the Golden Bobcat. There will be chances to win prizes throughout the month and give your team the chance to earn points toward Battle of the Bobcats.

After School Program

We are excited to announce that our after school program will begin next week. We have fun activities for students to join. Some groups meet weekly and others meet every other week. The school calendar on the UMS website will be updated soon so you know when activities are being held.

School Community Council

Our first School Community Council meeting is being held on Thursday, September 10th from 6-7 at Union Middle School. If you would like to join, please consider attending. You can reach out to amanda.parker@canyonsdistrict.org with any questions. 

We’re Hiring

Our cafeteria is hiring for a cashier and we are looking for a 20 hour para professional in our ACC class. Apply online today – canyonsdistrict.org.

Pick Up and Drop Off

Please remember to pull all the way forward when you are picking and/or dropping your student off at school. Traffic becomes backed up onto 700 East which makes it unsafe for other cars traveling to and from Union.

UMS Pantry and Weekend Food Bags

Our pantry is currently stocked with hygiene items, school supplies and clothing. If your student could use some clothing for the new school year, please feel free to stop by and see what we have. We also have clothing for adults such as, dresses, skirts, dress shirts and slacks.
Weekend food bags will start going home this Friday. If you would like your student to bring home a bag, please remind them to grab one on the way out of the door. If you don’t want your student to pick up a bag, please tell them. We’re hoping explicit parent communication will reduce the amount of bags taken apart and left on campus. We will be passing them out in front of the auditorium and across from the gym for those who ride the bus.
