North Union Local Schools is responsible for locating any child born through 21 with a suspected disability who resides within the North Union Local School District. The school district provides special education services to any child who qualifies as having a disability according to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, ages 3 through 21 years of age. If you know of a child suspected to have a disability, please call Deana Adams, Director of Student Services, at 740-943-1610 or contact your building principal for more information.

At the December 16th Board meeting the 25-26 school year calendar was approved. Some noticeable changes.

• We will have one prescribed 2 hour delay each month with the exception of August, December, and April. The purpose of the "Wildcat Power Hours" is to provide staff embedded time for staff meetings, team meetings, interventions, professional development, conference time, curriculum, and vertical alignment.
• Staggered start days for Kindergarten August 12-14. (This will replace the kick up to Kindergarten).
• Staff work day after the last day of school.

We value all students and their well-being. If there are issues at school where you suspect potential harassment/bullying or concern for a student's welfare, there is a system to process this. Please report this to our Public Works system.

• The online reporting system and the 1-866-listen2me phone system are for staff, students, and parents to report concerns that may affect the peace of mind of students or jeopardize the safety of people or school facilities. Concerns may include, but are not limited to, bullying, abuse, bomb threats, cyber crimes, discrimination, drugs, health concerns, suspicious behavior, vandalism, fighting, & weapons. Helpline information helps us maintain school environments that are safe and conducive to learning.

• Our website provides the ability to report Bullying and Harassment at the top right corner, indicated by the blue hand (see graphic above).
• Once a student, parent, or staff member reports an issue, it is immediately forwarded to the building's principal for investigation.
• The administration will coordinate the appropriate investigation and communicate findings and outcomes to those involved.
• The administration will document the investigation and outcome in Public School Works.

Starting Friday April 4, 2025, we will be transitioning to digital report cards, and as a result, we will no longer print paper copies of grade cards. All parents can access Progress Book to view your student's report card. If you do not have a Progress Book account, please create one by going to the North Union Local Schools website, clicking on the parent tab, and then clicking on Progress Book, and you will be prompted for a registration key. You may call the school office to obtain the student's registration key.

With a Progress Book account, you are not just a parent, you are an active participant in your student's education. You have continuous access to monitor your student's missing assignments, attendance, teacher assignments, interim reports, and grade cards. This tool empowers you to stay involved and informed about your student's progress, giving you a sense of control and involvement.

If you encounter any difficulties or have questions about creating a Progress Book account, please don't hesitate to contact North Union Elementary School. We're here to provide you with the support you need.

All volunteers who are in the classroom or chaperone field trips must have current BCI and FBI prints on file in the district office. Please use the link below to schedule appointments for the background check. Appointment times will only be as the schedule permits on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM-1:45 PM. If you need a different time than these, you may have prints done elsewhere and send them to North Union Local Schools at 12920 State Route 739 Richwood, Ohio 4334. A valid BCI and FBI prints must be on file before entering the classroom or going on field trips. The cost for both background checks is $60.00.

For all visitors coming into the building for any reason (meetings/assemblies), you must present your driver's license or state ID cards in the office in order to run it through the Raptor system.

The Raptor system performs a 'soft' background check for student/staff safety, anyone entering the building must be run through the Raptor system and have a sticker badge created. Failure to comply with these identification requirements may result in denial of entry.
