Please take a moment to review this heartwarming message from our Union City Superintendent of Schools Silvia T. Abbato and once again, Happy Mother's Day to all.

We are thrilled to announce that, once again, our district's dedicated team efforts have resulted in success! According to the Education Recovery Scorecard, a collaboration between Harvard and Stanford Universities examining post-pandemic academic recovery, the Union City School District had the least learning loss in the entire state of New Jersey during the COVID-19 pandemic and, while most districts struggled with reading between 2019 and 2022, our students’ reading performance improved!

Thomas Jefferson School students in Mrs. Michael’s First Grade class recently participated in a “Me and My Family” art contest. Students were tasked with illustrating what their favorite thing to do with their family is. These included, when they’re having a picnic, at the bookstore, at the beach or at the mall. Afterwards, Mrs. Michael submitted their artwork to the contest and their artwork was chosen to be published! Each student got a certificate of excellence as well!

Thank you to the Union Hill Middle School for visiting our Jefferson School's Chess Club! Union Hill Middle School students joined Jefferson School students to share their ideas and strategies in chess. Chess leads to higher retention skills, problem solving, and calmness under pressure. Mr. Campodonico and Mr. Portugal facilitated an excellent session that was educational and motivating for the young players. We look forward to future collaborative sessions.
