Union City’s commitment and goal is to provide each and every student with every opportunity possible to obtain a high-quality education. Consistent with our educational philosophy, the goals of the NCLB stress:
• Increased programs before and after school and summer recess
• Recruitment of high quality teachers
• Expansion of community learning centers
• Improve the Academic Achievement of all students
• Attainment of the Core Curriculum Content Standards
• Continued promotion of technology literacy and protecting the children from unsuitable Internet connection
• Promotion of safe and drug-free schools
NCLB requires districts to teach grade-level standards, using the most effective methods and instructional strategies, and assessing their progress each year.
Based on statewide assessments, schools that do not make adequate yearly progress will be provided with technical assistance and strategies to strengthen instruction and address ways of improving student progress.
Based on the 10-11 results under the NCLB act, the following schools in the Union City School District have been identified as “Schools in Need of Improvement”.
1030 Edison Elementary School
739 George Washington School
864 Emerson Middle School
1026 Robert Waters School
881 Theodore Roosevelt School
692 Union Hill Middle School
You have the right to Public School Choice and Supplemental Educational Services (SES). The Union City School District will be able to provide additional assistance for your child/children through providers during the extended day program within the schools. If you would like to request a school transfer, based on space availability, please contact your school principal.
As a district, we continue to strive for every student to achieve success. All of our schools are making great strides and we urge you to remain in our schools and participate in our progress.
Together we can provide our children with the best education possible.
