Welcome to Union Street School!

The 2011-2012 School Year has started with great eagerness and happiness. The students and staff are already engaging in the learning process. Heather Taylor, school secretary, and Debbie Smith, records secretary, are happy to help assist parents and students. Martha Potter, principal, always has an open door policy should parents, students, or community members care to stop by, phone, or email thoughts, questions, or concerns pertaining to Union Street School.

Union Street School is in the third year of improving student achievement, test scores, instructional strategies, and school climate. Professional development for staff members has been on-going and focused on “best educational practices”.

Horizontal and vertical educational teams of educators are working on assessment, behavior, climate, data, education, and facilitation. These teams are instrumental in designing, developing, and implementing educational changes.

The staff at Union Street is focused on the framework of Effective Schools and works together as a unified team. Each person plays a significant role in educating and leading the students.

Students Featured On WCAX Books Over Breakfast

Two creative young authors and students from Union St School were featured on the WCAX Books Over Breakfast program. They presented and discussed the book that they had written and illustrated.

From WCAX - "We feature Vermont writers on our morning show every week -- but this week, we met some budding authors who are chasing the literary dream early. Students at Union Street Elementary in Springfield, Vermont wrote, illustrated, and sent books off to the printer. Some 200 fourth and fifth grade students wrote their own books, while four third-grade classes worked together to create books. Two of the students -- Owen Parillo and Bailey Beebe -- told us on the Channel 3 News Wednesday morning the illustrations were the hardest part, and thinking up story ideas was fun. The books will be unveiled for friends, family, and the community Thursday from 4:30 to 5:30 at the school. And for students, this was just a warm-up for their all-day read-a-thon on Friday to raise money for their school."
