About Township of Union Public Schools
Township of Union recently replaced its former districtwide fifth-grade model with six K–5 elementary schools and a districtwide preschool center at Franklin. The shift also introduced revised elementary boundaries.
Students remain in their assigned elementary school through grade five, then divide between Burnet Middle School and Kawameeh Middle School for grades six through eight. Both routes lead to Union High School. The main structural change is the longer elementary stay and the new boundary map.
Preschool uses a separate districtwide lottery and placement process. Older descriptions of six PK–4 schools feeding a central grade-five campus belong to the previous structure; current registration materials govern both the K–5 assignment and preschool placement. The preschool lottery and the K–5 boundary map remain separate registration questions and should be confirmed independently.
