Big Updates for Wildcat Families! 🐾📊

Following our April Board of Education meeting, we have some fantastic news to share that will help ease the back-to-school burden for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year:

No School Supplies Needed: Thanks to the support of our Board, North Union will provide basic classroom supplies this year! Simply come ready to learn and have fun at our District-Wide Open House on August 11 from 3:00-6:00 PM.

Universal Free Breakfast: The Board officially approved participation in a Universal Free Breakfast program for the 2026-2027 school year to keep our Wildcats fueled and ready to learn! 🥞

Updated Fee Schedule: Instructional fees for both Elementary (K-5) and Middle School have been reduced to $0! High School fees are $50 (with drug fees and testing discontinued), and the Preschool monthly fee for peer models is set at $125.

We are thrilled to share these updates as we continue to invest heavily in our students and families! 🧡🖤
