Schools Supplies for 2019-2020

Teams will distribute supply lists at the school. Each list is different. Individual teachers will inform students of supplies needed for their classroom during the first few days of school. On the first day of school, students should bring some paper and a pen or pencil.

8th Grade Supply Lists

The Union Eighth Grade Center does not publish a schoolwide supply list for students. Individual teachers will inform students of supplies needed for their classroom during the first few days of school. On the first day of school, students should bring some paper and a pen or pencil.

School Supply List

Administrative Changes Announced

Scott Pennington named director of new Hope – Guidance – Social and Emotional Learning Department; Clayton Hucke named interim 7th Grade Principal

Dear Union Parents and Guardians:

I am excited to announce that Mr. Scott Pennington, principal at the Union 6^th & 7^th Grade Center, has been asked to lead a new department within Teaching and Learning entitled Hope – Guidance – Social and Emotional Learning. As you know, we are in the second year of our five-year district strategic plan. One of the elements of this plan is Union’s Learning Model that focuses on literacy, cognitive capacity, engagement, and social and emotional learning.

As we continuously evaluate our data, and hear from teachers and our site leaders, there continues to be a dominant narrative that more must be done to address the social and emotional development of our students. Collectively speaking, our teachers continue to do amazing work in providing dynamic learning experiences for our students. It is now time for us to articulate a tiered approach to addressing unwanted student behaviors and student trauma – at all grade levels – while also fostering greater hope and confidence in our students’ lives. The idea is that we will be more proactive in our efforts, providing counseling and guidance to address the social, emotional, and academic needs of our students. I firmly believe this will make a positive difference in our students’ lives and in the learning culture of our buildings.

Mr. Pennington’s work as a special education teacher, assistant principal, and principal make him uniquely qualified to lead in this new position. In addition to this change, I am also pleased to announce that Mr. Clay Hucke, assistant principal at Union High School, has been asked to serve as an interim principal at the Sixth & Seventh Grade Center. Mr. Hucke has done an outstanding job at the high school and he looks forward to serving the students, staff, and parents at this site.

Please join me in congratulating Mr. Pennington and Mr. Hucke. These moves will become effective January 1, 2020.

Respectfully,

Kirt Hartzler, Ed.D.
Superintendent
Union Public Schools
