*There will be no school Monday, 1/13/25*
Though this was a difficult decision as district personnel have worked extremely hard clearing district walkways and parking lots, we still have too many roads and areas of our community that are unsafe for our school buses. At this time, more than 30% of our bus routes are not able to run due to ice-covered roads.
We most certainly understand the importance of getting students back to school, so please know we appreciate your patience and flexibility.
We will continue to communicate with you as we monitor community road conditions in an effort to safely reopen our schools.

Good early afternoon, #unionrxi families:
We wanted to take a moment to provide an update in regard to the inclement weather we received this past week. As you can probably imagine, the two rounds of inclement weather we received significantly impacted our district walkways and parking lots as well as many roads within our community. Specifically, the initial layering of ice has been especially difficult for our district snow plows. Our top priority is and continues to be student and staff safety, which is why we unfortunately weren’t able to have school this past week.
First and foremost, we want to thank our families for all your patience and understanding during this stretch of inclement weather. We recognize we have many students ready to return to school and we have many families who have had to make adjustments due to children being at home.
Furthermore, we want to provide a big shout-out to the many district team members who worked extra hours last week and have been working tirelessly (and continue to work) this weekend to ready our schools to receive both students and staff. Though their efforts deserve recognition and appreciation, we unfortunately still have walkways and parking lots covered with ice. It’s our hope we can continue to make progress this afternoon with the sun and warmer temperatures.
Additionally, there are still some roads within our community that are not safe for bus routes. As a result, there is the likelihood we would need to modify and adjust certain bus routes. If your student is affected by a modified bus route, you will be contacted by First Student. We encourage you to discuss alternative means of getting your student to school in the event your regular bus transportation is impacted.
*No decision has been made as of this communication in regard to school for Monday, January 13.*
As always, if a decision is made to not have school, the district will send out a communication as soon as a decision has been made. If there is no communication, then we will have school.
Thank you again for your continued partnership, flexibility and understanding as we do everything we can to ready our schools for students and staff.

So much fun happening around the building this week!
A sweet day of holiday fun! Ugly sweaters and candy cane planting from TK: Mrs. Beinecke’s class “planted” candy cane seeds to see if we can use some Christmas magic to grow a candy cane!
Seed: a peppermint, “dirt”: sugar, red sprinkles for magic, and then place it under the Christmas lights! 😊🎄
Christmas break is fast approaching! Enjoy these last few days of school.
On behalf of the entire Union R-XI School District, we wish you and your family a wonderful and happy holidays.
