Student Support Services

At all grade levels in the district, we are committed to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to experience a successful and rewarding academic career. Recognizing that each student's journey is unique, our staff provides a variety of support systems and interventions designed to help students overcome challenges, remain on track, and successfully meet graduation requirements.

Student Support Team

The Union High School Student Support Team meets weekly to identify and discuss students who may be experiencing academic, social, emotional, behavioral, or personal challenges that could impact their success. Through a collaborative, student-centered approach, administrators, counselors, teachers, and support staff work together to develop individualized strategies, connect students with appropriate resources, and monitor progress. The team's primary goal is to proactively address barriers to learning while ensuring every student receives the support necessary to thrive both academically and personally.

Advocate Teachers

Building meaningful relationships with students is a cornerstone of the educational experience at Union High School. As part of this commitment, staff members serve as Advocate Teachers, partnering with individual students throughout their high school years. Advocate Teachers meet regularly with their assigned students to build positive relationships, monitor academic and personal progress, provide encouragement, and help students establish and achieve meaningful goals. By serving as trusted mentors and consistent points of contact, Advocate Teachers help ensure that every student feels supported, connected, and empowered to succeed.

WIN/Knight Time

At all levels—elementary, middle, and high school—there is a structured time during the school day for students to receive additional academic support to be successful. These important minutes allow teachers to reteach important concepts or for students to reassess or complete assignments. Through this process, students can maintain quality academic progress.
