Hi Parents!
Just a quick reminder to pack an extra set of clothes in your child's backpack, just in case of little accidents. We don’t have spares at school. If you have any extra stretchy pants (especially in smaller sizes) to donate, we’d be super grateful!
Thanks so much!
Good Morning Unity Families! The weather is definitely changing and the mornings have been extremely cold for our students during walk and talk and morning recess. Please make sure you are sending your students dressed in appropriate winter clothing including coats, hats, and mittens. According to district policy, all students will be outside for all recesses as well as morning walk and talk unless the temperature is BELOW a real feel or a "feels like" temperature of 15 degrees! Thank you!
Good Morning! We are providing a nacho bar lunch for teachers on the full day of Conferences on Thursday, October 24th. PTO will be providing the meat, plates, etc, but we are looking for parents willing to donate the toppings, drinks, and dessert. Please click the link below to sign up if you are able to help us out. Thank you in advance!

#SCCSD families, your student's attendance in school matters! Chronic absenteeism is not just a matter of missed days; it's a barrier to success. If your child will not be in school, it's incredibly important to call your child’s school to report the reason for an absence. This information will be used to help your child's school determine the level of support your student needs to succeed.
We encourage families to familiarize themselves with the new chronic absenteeism laws and policies in place. Students are considered absent when they are not in school, including time missed for general illnesses, doctor’s appointments, club sports, and family vacations. We want your child to be successful. While rare exceptions can occur, missing nine or more days in a semester is atypical. Absences for participation in school-sanctioned events do not count toward chronic absenteeism. For questions related to absences, please contact your child's school.
We're committed to being a partner in your child's success and celebrate them for being in class, on time, every day!

We want to remind our families that we take every threat seriously, and each threat is investigated. Students should always report any threat they see or hear, not share or repost threats of any kind.
Reposting or sharing a threat could lead to disciplinary actions at the school level and possibly criminal charges.
How to report a threat:
▶️ Contact your school principals/administrators with safety concerns, no matter how small
▶️ After hours when you are unable to reach a principal, call police directly
▶️ Call 911 in an emergency or for a crime in progress
▶️ Send information to Safe and Sound Iowa, a threat reporting tool for the state of Iowa
With help from our community and families, we can keep school safe for all students.
The Fall Sticky Stuff Fundraiser will run from Thursday, September 12th thru Tuesday, September 24th. The Pick-up date will be on Monday, October 7th, from 3:00-6:00pm. at Unity Elementary.
