Welcome to Union Elementary School!

Designated "Excellent" by the State of Ohio for the fourth year!

CLICK HERE to take the 2012 Student Survey.

We are a rural school of about 250 students in grades kindergarten through sixth.  Students here work hard on their academics and in art, music, and phys. ed, but they are also involved in sports of all kinds, 4-H, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts.  5th & 6th grade students also have an opportunity to be involved in band and honor choir. 6th graders also attend Camp Ohio for 4 days in the fall.

The use of technology is a focus in our classrooms.  Teachers have interactive  whiteboards called SmartBoards, access to long distance learning which connects us to the Columbus Zoo and other places, a computer lab, netbooks, iPads, computers in every classroom and our library, and a tv broadcasting system.  We air our Monday Morning Madness show, hosted by our own Miss Stout, who leads us in songs and announcements.  

We also focus heavily on reading and math skills.  Our students are motivated to read many books through our Accelerated Reader program that is website-based.  Students have access to thousands of computer quizzes for their reading books. They earn prizes through the points they earn by reading their books and taking the quizzes.  Our kindergarten through second grade teachers build a solid foundation in both reading and math by working with the students in daily teams based on students' achievement levels.  Students receive intervention or enrichment as needed on an ongoing basis.  When children are younger, they learn to read, but as they get older they read to learn!
