Parent Weekly Update
Hello SU Families,
It’s hard to believe but August is almost here, which means it is time to start thinking about back to school! Here are some things you’ll need to know as summer comes to an end:
School Supplies
Ken Garff Automotive is donating school supplies and backpacks for all our students this year so you will not need to purchase any! A huge thank you to them for supporting SU!
Online Registration
All families need to complete online registration each summer. You should have received an email with directions but if you need help, please call or email Ms. Ashley or stop by the office, and she will be happy to help!
Kindergarten Orientation
Families with incoming kindergarteners are invited to join us August 15th from 2:00-3:00 to meet the teachers and learn more about our school. If you have friends or neighbors that will be starting at South Union with kindergarten students, please share this information with them while we work to get all of our new families added to our system.
Back to School Dates
The first day of school is Monday, August 26th. Families can come meet teachers and pick up school supplies August 22 from 2:30-4:00. We’re excited to see everyone!
McTeacher Night
Save the Date for McTeacher Night! Visit McDonalds at 3000 SE 14th St on Wednesday, August 28th from 4-7. 20% of all inside sales will be donated to South Union, and the class with the biggest turnout will win lunch from McDonalds! This is a great chance to see some of your favorite teachers delivering your food and support our school!
