Home of the Ramblers
Union Elementary School serves more than 160 students from Grades K-4. One of five elementary schools in the Franklin Community Schools system, we offer a broad and comprehensive understanding of knowledge and skills based on the Indiana Academic State Standards. These standards provide the master plan for learning.
Students receive a balance of learning experiences in the academic areas of English language arts, mathematics, social studies and citizenship, visual arts and music, health and wellness and physical education, adapted as necessary.
They also learn to use technology to solve problems related to home, school, community and workplace; and develop skills useful in performing individual and family responsibilities - preparing them for success in middle school.

Pick-up Procedure
Please enter the circle drive from the north entrance and file around. To eliminate the blocking of Division Road, the pick-up line must be on 400 W extending north of the circle drive. We will release the students in the order of the cars. Once all of the cars have left the circle a new group will be allowed in and students will be released. No cars that are parked in the front of the building will be permitted to leave until all car riders have been picked up. Please do not use the south parking lot for dismissal pick-up.
We appreciate your cooperation with this our policy. We hope it will run smoothly, and everyone will be safe.
