A Message from your Admin. Team

Dear UPES Families,

Towards the middle of May, teachers begin the intricate process of creating class lists for our 2024-2025 school year.  This is a process that they will work on throughout the months of May and June.  As teachers collaborate, they consider MANY factors; for example, student needs, peer relationships, how students work together in a classroom setting, personalities, students with IEP's, 504's, and more.  They then work together to create classrooms that are balanced. For example, we do not want one classroom that has many shy students or many outgoing, many students that experience anxiety, or many students who require additional support for academic success. We work hard to balance these needs to create positive learning environments for our students.

The reason I share this is, while we DO NOT take teacher requests, if you, as a parent or guardian, would like to share information about your child that will help us set them up for success, we will certainly consider it.  Please note that if you have completed this form in the past, we do not carry over information from year to year.  If you would like us to continue to consider information about your child’s needs, you will need to complete this form again.

Please complete this Google Form no later than Thursday, May 10, 2024. 

--- Mrs. Dehlinger, Principal

Kits for 2024 - 25

For parents who are interested in ordering their child(ren)'s school supplies from 1st Day School Supplies for the coming school year, you may do this using the QR Code below  or can go to this link:  1st Day School Order form .   If Union Pleasant received 100 or more orders,  First Day School will donate supplies to needy families in our building.  The link will be accessible until July 1, 2024.  

This will allow you to purchase the supplies for the student's particular grade level.    In late August, once you receive your child's teacher assignment, check the Union Pleasant website for any additional supplies needed for child's individual teacher.

Attendance Reminder

• Anytime your child is absent from school, a paper note must be sent to school with your child upon their return, stating the reason for the absence.  If you do not turn in the note, the absence will become an unexcused absence.  Parents, please check your child's report card for any unexcused absences and send in a note for those date(s).  If you are uncertain of the date(s), please contact  Margaret Duszynski in the Attendance Office in the morning at (716) 646-3288.

• Please call the Attendance Office each day that your child is absent.  Our phone number is (716) 646-3288.   A message can be left at anytime school is not open.   Please do not call the main office or email the teacher to report an absence.   

• If your child(ren) will be absent because of a vacation, please fill out a vacation form two weeks prior to your departure.  These forms are available in the main office, on our district website or click on this link: Family Vacation Form .
