Many thanks to all the parents and families who took time from your busy schedules to come to the EL Family Community Evening yesterday. It was great to connect with so many of you, and to hear your questions and thoughts about Union Elementary School. Principal Ryan Heraty recommended the book Raising Kids Who Read: What Parents and Teachers Can Do . It is available on Amazon! As always, please feel free to contact any of us at any time with any questions, concerns, or ideas. Hannah Barden Sylvia Fagin Laura Rooney

I hope you can join us for the UES Lantern Parade tonight! The parade starts at UES at 6:00.  Students should arrive in their classroom between 5:20 and 5:40 to collect their lantern and line up for the parade.  The parade will end on the state house lawn at where hot chocolate and cider will be served and there will be music and entertainment.  This parade is a well-loved UES tradition!  See you there!

As the seasons change, learners at UES continue to play and learn outdoors. It is important to dress appropriately for ECO, recess, and walking field trips.  Check the local weather on the Weather Channel  or Weather Underground , so that your children will be prepared. If you need help finding warm winter clothing, please let us know!

School will be closed on Friday, October 5 for teacher inservice, and on Monday, October 8 in observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day. We will see you back at school on Tuesday, October 9! Learn more about Indigenous Peoples' Day here .
