Dear TUPS Families and Staff,

As part of our continued efforts to improve transportation efficiency, maximize instructional time, and ensure a smooth start and end to each school day, the Township of Union Public Schools will implement updated school schedules for the 2026–2027 school year.

These adjustments are modest and are designed to better align district operations while continuing to provide students with a high-quality educational experience. Please review the updated schedules below.
A table displays school schedules for Franklin Pre-K Center, Elementary Schools, Burnet/Kawameeh, and Union High School, including start, dismissal, breakfast, delayed opening, and early dismissal times.
*Additional information regarding TUPS Morning and After Care through the YMCA, as well as TUPS families with students attending both the FES PreK Center and a district elementary school, will be shared in the coming weeks.

Reminder Regarding Delayed Openings and Early Dismissals

Throughout the school year, there may be occasions when weather conditions, facility concerns, professional development activities, or other circumstances require the district to operate on a delayed-opening or early-dismissal schedule.

Families are encouraged to review these adjusted times and make any necessary arrangements in advance. Whenever possible, notifications regarding schedule changes will be communicated through the TUPS Parent Square communication system, the district website, and social media platforms.

We appreciate your partnership and flexibility as we implement these schedule adjustments. Our goal remains to provide safe, supportive, and engaging learning environments while maximizing opportunities for student success.

Thank you for your continued support of the Township of Union Public Schools. Together, we will continue to empower and inspire Every Student, Every Day.

With gratitude,
Dr. Gerry Benaquista
