We hope to see you Tuesday evening at our Transition Night. Come meet your child's teacher(s) for next year and receive textbooks and materials to start the year strong.
Attention 2nd & 3rd Grade Parents!
If your child received a Read to Achieve Summer Reading Camp application and you have not yet returned it, please make sure to send it back tomorrow.
Applications will NOT be accepted after Tuesday, May 13th.
Thank you for helping us support your child’s reading success this summer!
Happy Mother's Day to all of our Tiger Moms and Grandmothers! Have a wonderful day!
I want to sincerely apologize for accidentally leaving out two very important sponsors in my original post for Teacher Appreciation Week. A huge thank you to Belinda Mauney and Victoria Smith-Strickland for providing a delicious breakfast for our staff! Your kindness and generosity were truly appreciated by everyone, and I regret the oversight in not recognizing you earlier.
We are so grateful for all of our supporters who made the week special—it wouldn't have been the same without each and every one of you!
On behalf of the Union Chapel teachers and teacher assistants, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our administrators, community stakeholders, and everyone involved in planning for Teacher Appreciation Week. Everything was truly appreciated!
A special thank you to our generous sponsors: County Commissioner Mrs. Judy Sampson, PSRC Board Member Mr. Terry Blake Locklear, Pembroke Waste Collections, UCES PTO, McNeill's Concession, Pittman's Outdoor Pest Control, Union Chapel Community Baptist Church, and Union Chapel Holiness Methodist Church.
Thank you all for making our teachers and staff feel so valued and supported!
This message is for students who ride Bus 195 (Mr. Gen’s bus). Due to mechanical issues, the bus will be delayed this afternoon. Students on this route will be arriving home later than usual. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
We continue with Day 5 of Teacher Appreciation Week. This is the last day we will highlight a group of teachers, assistants, and support personnel. We have an awesome group of instructional leaders and we want to celebrate them for all they do to make Union Chapel School a great place to learn!
Here's to our Exceptional Children's department, resource teachers and our support staff.
Our Exceptional Children's teachers and assistants blend the roles of educator, case manager, advocate, and specialist. They must tailor everything they do to meet each child where they are and help them thrive. They design and deliver highly individualized instruction based on each student’s Individualized Education Program, work with students who have a wide range of disabilities, and work with smaller groups or one-on-one, allowing for intensive support. That's a lot to juggle, but they do it effortlessly.
I think it's safe to say that resource teachers get all the love. Their classes offer a much-needed break from academics and allow the students to focus on their creative side in art and music and they can let off some steam in PE. These teachers are unique in that they get to work with every single student on our campus. That's a lot of names and personalities to remember. We commend these teachers for a job well done.
Our support staff works with special populations in our school. They are not in a regular classroom; usually, these teachers and assistants pull small groups of students to work with. They are the ones who have the flexibility to help out all over campus whenever an emergency arises or a vacancy occurs. We appreciate this group for being able to work under various working conditions throughout the day.
We cannot thank these staff members enough for the hard work they put into ensuring the success of their students. Take a bow!
Spreading Kindness: Better World Week in Action
Academic Coach Darline Scott recently took part in Better World Week through EL Education, securing a $300 stipend to make a meaningful impact. With the funds, the school created thoughtful care packages to share with the local community.
Joined by the 5th Grade Beta Club and Guidance Counselor Cindy Chavis, Coach Scott led a heartwarming visit to Genesis Healthcare in Pembroke. Students delivered the care packages to residents and brought along plenty of smiles and good conversation.
The residents were thrilled to receive the gifts, but it was the students' presence and kindness that truly made their day. It was a beautiful reminder that small acts of care can create a better world, one connection at a time.

Here's to our fifth and sixth grade teachers. Whoa, boy! You want to know why these teachers are Super Heroes? Because they are so close to teaching middle schoolers it isn't even funny. And middle school teachers deserve their own special place in heaven. Teaching fifth and sixth grade is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall; it’s slippery, unpredictable, and just when you think you’ve got it figured out, everything shifts. It is full of ups and downs, unexpected twists, and a lot of screaming (sometimes the teachers, sometimes the students).
But we appreciate these individuals more than they will ever comprehend for doing it all so seamlessly. We cannot thank these teachers enough for the hard work they put into ensuring the success of their students. Take a bow, teachers!
We are excited to announce our Students of the Month for April. These students were chosen by their teacher to represent their class based on exhibiting outstanding behavior. Congratulations to them all! If your child received a Tiger yard sign to proudly display for the month, please send in their picture so they can be recognized online.

Sweet Thanks for Our Amazing Educators!
A big thank you to our School Board Representative, Mr. Terry Blake Locklear, for providing delicious cake to our teachers and assistants in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week!
Your thoughtful gesture added an extra layer of sweetness to a week dedicated to honoring the hard work, dedication, and heart our educators pour into every school day. We are grateful for your continued support and encouragement!
Here’s to our incredible teachers and assistants. You make a difference every single day!
Growing a Better World – One Wildflower at a Time!
Our second grade students had a wonderful time planting wildflowers as they kicked off their butterfly garden project! As part of their current learning EL module, students explored how they can work together to contribute to a better world. Through this hands-on experience, they discovered how planting wildflowers supports the growth and survival of butterflies in our environment.
A huge thank you to all the parents and volunteers who donated plants and helped bring this project to life. Your support made this meaningful learning experience possible!
The unit's theme was "If we do small things in our community, we can make a big difference."
📢 Attention Parents of Rising Kindergarteners and 7th Graders!
As you prepare for the upcoming school year, please be aware of the North Carolina Grade Level Entry Vaccine Requirements for students entering Kindergarten and 7th Grade.
Be sure to schedule appointments early and submit updated immunization records to your child’s school before the first day of class to ensure compliance.
Let’s work together to keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn! If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school or local health department.
We continue with Day 3 of Teacher Appreciation Week. Each day we will highlight a group of teachers and teacher assistants. We have an awesome group of instructional leaders and we want to celebrate them for all they do to make Union Chapel School a great place to learn!
Here's to our third and fourth grade teachers. Third grade teachers are very special to us because they work with students who haven't quite grasped if they are ready to leave all things associated with K-2 and become part of the 4-6 world. It's a tricky time for teachers and students alike. And fourth grade teachers are the lucky ones who get to experience the students when they realize they are too cool for ALL the things. Nevertheless, these teachers persevere and keep things rolling.
We cannot thank these teachers enough for the hard work they put into ensuring the success of their students. Take a bow, teachers!
