5th Grade Quick Reference Guide for the NC Standard Course of Study

Union Academy is a National School of Character which means we have demonstrated that character development has had a positive impact on academics, student behavior, and school climate. Character development is a journey we are on with our students through modeling, intentional conversations, and connection. It is important to integrate our eight character traits: Compassion, Adaptability, Respect, Responsibility, Optimism, Trustworthiness, Perseverance, and Initiative into everything we do as a school.

In our middle school we focus on character development through our advisory classes. Our character is informed through well-being, belonging, and engagement (characterstrong.com). We celebrate good character through special programs, activities and assemblies. 

5th grade will be partnering this year with Habitat for Humanity.  We will be doing some donation drives and going to various locations to help with beautification/landscaping projects for them.  We are looking forward to this new partnership. More information to come.
