Parent Weekly Update
Hello SU Families,
It’s been another great week here at SU! Here are some things happening around our building:
No School 9/20
There is no school Friday, September 20. This is a professional learning day for staff.
Conferences with Spanish, Karen, Nepali, or Swahili:
If your family prefers an interpreter for conferences, please join us on Thursday, September 19! You can come any time between 3-5:00 for a 15 minute conference about how your student is doing at school. Spanish, Karen, Nepali, and Swahili interpreters will be available. Conferences for families that do not prefer interpreters will be in October. More information about those dates and times will be sent out in the coming weeks. We are looking forward to meeting with you.
DMPS One Run
The 5th annual DMPS Foundation OneRun is the easiest way to raise money for SU! When you register for free and participate as a runner, walker, or supporter, the sponsors will send money to South Union. The OneRun will be held at Water Works Park on Saturday, September 28, 2024, with check-in between 8:00-8:45 a.m. The event is a 2-mile fun run/walk. More participants = more money for our school!
Toys at School
Please do not send any toys to school with your students. They can be a big distraction and they can get lost or broken easily during the school day. Thank you for your support with this!
Attendance
The most important thing you can do for your child’s education is to make sure they attend school on time, every day. This year our attendance goal is 94% and we are off to a great start!!! Every Day Matters!
- This week’s attendance rates (% of students that are HERE):
K-92%

Congratulations to Ms. Meola’s 4th grade class! They are our attendance leaders this week with 100% of students here all day every day this week!
