Thank you to Asst. Fire Chief Kris Nissila, EMT Heather Biliki, Lt.

Good afternoon! This is Tom Hansen, Principal at Union Grove Elementary School, all of us here at UGES are looking forward to welcoming our students back for the 2023-24 school year starting with our Open House today from 4:30 to 6:30. Please allow for extra time for your visit with us tonight as we are continuing to experience slow downs and closures due to the construction on Milldrum st.. More specifically I want to highlight that until further notice 17th Ave. has been closed between Milldrum and New St.. . Although an inconvenience, this is allowing for the completion of important work necessary to finish sidewalks that get us one step closer to providing appropriate student access to UGES on the first day of school. The good news is that both of our parking lots are open! This includes our main lot on Milldrum as well as our south lot directly off of 18th ave! Additional handicapped parking is marked and available on the East side of the building which is accessible through our south lot by the ball diamonds. Finally, I will be providing more details on pick and drop off procedures along with construction updates on Sunday, Sept. 3rd! Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Mad Science is Back! This is a fun, hands-on after school program for K-5th graders that covers a wide range of science topics. Registration information is available in the Main Office. An on-line registration link will also be available in the Daily Express which will be posted on the UGES website beginning Sept. 5th.
