We’re excited to have our students coming back for the first day of school on August 20th. The school theme this year is ‘Trojans: We’re in our learning era.’ This summer, the Union Star High School math program received an award from the St. Louis PRiME Center of St. Louis University for being 7th in the state in Mathematics student growth from 2022 to 2024. Congratulations to our students and teacherson this accomplishment. In August there are several important dates that will becoming up. Junior high and high school registration will be on August 7th from 4:30 pm until 6:30 pm. Please see the list of times assigned for each grade later in this article. However, if you have a conflict you may come to register in another time slot if needed. We have done this to reduce the wait for students and parents to get through the line. As a reminder, if you have students in more than one grade then you may register all your children at any of the assigned times for your children. Lastly, Back to School Night will be from 4:30-6:30 pm on August 14th. This is a great time to have students bring in their school supplies, meet their teachers, and have a great meal provided by the FFA. On August 21st, the Union Star Board meeting and tax rate hearing will take place starting at 6:25 pm. This school year there will be a few new faces around the building along with some familiar faces coming back. Mrs. Joselyn Washburn will be returning and teaching the 5th grade class and Mrs. Natalie Atkins will be coming on board as a counselor and our new RootEd advisor. The RootEd program is a career education program designed to get our students more involved in career education opportunities and develop detailed career and education plans for each individual student. The school district received a grant to help pay for a large portion of the program. Please stop by and introduce yourselves while at B
