Unity Elementary School
Now is the time of year that Parents/Guardians can go to the Sioux City Community School's website, www.siouxcityschools.com, and complete the Online Verification for next year.
Online Verification gives parents/guardians the opportunity to modify and/or confirm contact information and complete appropriate forms for the school year. Within Online Verification, parents/guardians will:
Update or change contact information
Update a student's health history
Apply for bus transportation
It is very important for every family to complete this process so that we have the most updated, accurate information for your student(s).
The Unity Knight Award was started in 2012 by the late, great, Dr. Mike Rogers. It is a tradition that we, here at Unity Elementary, have chosen to continue since his move to East Middle School and then his subsequent passing.
The Knight Award is an honor that is only bestowed upon those who truly exhibit what it is to be a Unity Knight. The previous recipients have all exemplified our Team U traits. They have not only been good students by showing excellence in their academics, but they have also been amazing humans by treating others the way they want to be treated, putting others first, and doing their best to make a difference in our Unity Community!
The 3 Unity Knight Award winners were Knighted by Sir Robert in a special assembly on Tuesday 6/3. This year's winners were Ezra Mendez, Jasmine Ruiz Lemus, and Liam Sturges! Congratulations!!

Our 3rd graders are having a blast counting down the last 10 days of school with a special celebration each day! From a glowing good time on Glow Day to soaking up the fun on Beach Day, every activity has brought smiles and excitement. They've explored with a scavenger hunt, cooled off with an ice cream party, and are making lasting memories together. Each day is a new adventure as we celebrate the end of an amazing school year!
Unity's second graders are ready for the summer bicycle season thanks to Opportunities Unlimited!
Each year Susan Vondrak and her staff come in and present the program "Gotta brain? Getta helmet!" for our Second Graders, teaching them about Bicycle safety and the benefits of wearing a helmet when riding a bike! Each and every 2nd grade student at Unity received a brand new bicycle helmet! See pictures below:
On May 5th, 6th, and 7th, Unity's 3rd grade students got to visit the Fairview Schoolhouse. This one room school house was built and used by students in the 19th Century. It is one of Sioux City's first early schools and is used today to teach 21st Century school students about the one room school houses of the past. Please see below to view some pictures from the visits:
Student medication and/or medical supplies will be sent home with your child on the last day of school. If you would like to make other arrangements, please contact the school office before the last day of school. Any unused medication that remains at school will be disposed of in compliance with federal and state laws or will be given to the School Resource Officers for proper disposal.
