Parent Volunteers Make Union Academy Successful
With the completion of the 2015-2016 school year, we would like to take the time to celebrate and thank all the parent and family volunteers for their efforts and commitment to our school.
The Union Academy Partnership Agreement requires a minimum of 60 hours per year, per family. Your commitment of time and effort to serve as a volunteer in one or more school areas is critical to the success of our students and school.
As a parent, when you volunteer, you will feel more invested in the school as well as in the activities that support your child’s learning experience. In turn, your child will feel supported and will be proud of the family/school partner-ship. Your commitment to our school and to your child’s education is appreciated.
June 6

Important Information
6th Grade Parents – Important Immunization Requirement Changes
Last week all students were sent home with a form containing information regarding the immunization
requirement changes for rising 7th grade students. All students must have one dose of Tdap (tetanus,
diphtheria, and pertussis), and one dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine prior to entry to 7th grade if they
have not already received it. More information about these vaccines may be found at www.immunize.nc.gov.
Please remember to ask your health care provider for a copy of your child’s immunization (shot) record. This
record will need to be submitted to the health room prior to the first day of school. If your child has a medical
or religious exemption this must be submitted at this time.
Please contact your school nurse with any questions at 704-238-8883, ext. 100.
Medication Pick Up
All Medications and Medical Supplies
must be picked up from the Union Academy health
rooms immediately.
Medications will need to be picked up by the parent /guardian; students may not transport
medication to or from school. Any medication that is not picked up will be disposed.
A new Medication Consent Form must be submitted if the student will need medication for the
2016-2017 school year. Please contact Mrs. Sabo with any questions.
