OUES Week at a Glance
Week of April 22nd-26th
Dear Old Union Parents,
Every year, as we prepare class lists, we welcome your input. We are providing this form for any information you feel will help us in the important task of class placement. If you would like to participate, please complete your form by Friday, April 26th.
We take this responsibility seriously and invest much consideration and time. Matching the needs of each student with the strengths and teaching styles of our teachers, while also trying to obtain a balance of abilities, special needs and boy to girl ratio in each classroom is of utmost importance. All factors assist in creating the most conducive learning environment for each child. Please include information you might have shared in previous years that is still relevant as we do not keep that information. The staff and I work together to consider all needs. Please do not request a specific teacher on your form.
Thank you for your support of Old Union Elementary School.
Jon Fike, Principal
Deadline extended to April 26th
K-12 New Student Online Enrollment - HELP US SPREAD THE WORD
Calling all NEW Dragons! Our online enrollment for K-12 NEW students is now open.

Volunteer Signup for OUES Teacher Appreciation Luncheon
The OUES teachers and staff need volunteers to cover their classrooms/offices during their staff appreciation luncheon on Friday, May 10. The luncheon starts at 1 but they are asking that the volunteers arrive at 12:50 to report to the classrooms and receive instructions. The teachers will have planned activities for the kids, so it should be fun and fairly simple. This is a great way to give back to our amazing staff and show them how thankful we are for everything they do. Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!
