Dysart-Geneseo Elementary FAQ

Welcome to Dysart-Geneseo (DG) Elementary! Our Knight’s Pledge embodies who we are: “At Union Elementary, we RESPECT ourselves, each other, our work, and our environment. We act SAFELY and RESPONSIBLY. Together we can do our BEST.” These principles guide our actions and define our school culture every day.
At DG Elementary, we take pride in delivering exceptional instruction and curriculum, fostering leadership through our student council, and engaging with our vibrant Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). The support from our community is truly outstanding. We’re also proud to offer a 4-year-old preschool program that operates four days a week, from Tuesday to Friday.

Our skilled and dedicated staff are passionate about addressing the unique learning needs of every child. Through the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) process, our teachers collaborate with colleagues at La Porte City Elementary to refine teaching practices, analyze data, implement effective assessments, and deliver differentiated instruction. This partnership strengthens our unified "Union Elementary" spirit.

To ensure that all students thrive, we use a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework, providing targeted assistance to students who need it most. Our Learning Support Teams (LST) meet monthly to plan interventions tailored to individual needs.

There’s so much happening at Dysart-Geneseo Elementary—together, we’re building a strong foundation for success. Go Knights!
