Union Public Schools participates in the The Center for Community Schools Strategies - Community  Service Council. The community school’s philosophy supports school personnel, parents, neighbors and community partners working together so our children can participate in a strong instructional program by living and learning in safe and supportive environments.

See Community Schools for district information.

Parent Teacher Association 

Parents are our most important partners in the education process. They are involved in various PTA committees or volunteer to work in the classroom or teacher workroom. Parents are also employed as lunch duty assistants.

Grove has many parent involvement evenings - such as Alphabet Soup Night, U Have the Write Idea, Science Fair Night, and Art Museum Night -  to name a few.
