Parents and schools need to work together for the betterment of the students. Parents play an important role in providing support and building the confidence of their children. Parents should check some of the tips or fun activities they can use to develop their children’s confidence and improve their school experience.

Welcome Parents

In this portion of the Union City Board of Education website, you will find valuable information for you, your children and our community.

This information is KEY to helping you get assistance, get educated, get involved, get child care and just have fun.

We also want to help you stay up to date on what’s happening in the Union City schools and with your child.

Emergency Information

We want you and your family to be prepared and stay safe.

Did you know...
Union City schools serve as emergency shelters in case of severe weather, natural disaster or threat to homeland security. They served our community during the 9/11 attacks.

Taking shelter
If TV or radio tells you to go to a shelter, report to your closest local school. If you are not sure where to go call the UCPD’s Office of Emergency Management at 201-348-5779.

Securing our future
Three of the new schools we are building in Union City will have modern “full-use” generators to keep sheltered residents safe and comfortable with electricity, lights, heat, AC, refrigeration and kitchen facilities.

Menus / Nutrition Info for Parents

The Union City Board of Education works with Chartwells School Dining Services to provide a healthy, well-balanced, and nutritious meals for our children while keeping in mind our ethnic diversity and needs of our growing children.

Some students qualify for FREE or reduced-priced lunches and milk. We participate in federal and state subsidized food programs for the benefit of eligible students. Eligibility is determined by the guidelines of the subsidizing agency. The board requires that all regulations of the subsidizing agency be observed including those which preserve the privacy of eligible students. For additional information, contact your individual school.

Update Your Contact Info

It is important that you keep us up-to-date about how we can contact you regarding your child’s well being. If your contact information has changed, please contact your school’s principal. Otherwise, your school will send home contact update forms throughout the year to verify and update your information.
