The mission of the Union City Area School District is to educationally empower all students to think critically and solve problems through a rigorous curriculum that will provide them with the skills necessary to graduate and pursue a career of their interest. The school counselors, within the Union City Area School District, are vital members of the education team and maximize student success through the implementation of the K-12 School Guidance Plan.

There are many programs at the Union City elementary school that help to address a child’s social and emotional development. Some of these programs include:
Student Assistance Program (SAP) – a multi-disciplinary team composed of the principals, the school psychologist, classroom teachers, the school truancy officer, the elementary school counselor and outside agency counselors. This team meets regularly to address serious behavioral and academic concerns of any student in our building. For more information please navigate to the following page: Student Assistance Program ( SAP) Information
Small Group Support Programs – these short-term programs help selected students deal with social skills, bullying issues, self-esteem, or any other topic that may be needed.
Refocus Room - the Refocus Room is a proactive approach to dealing with the rise of social, emotional, and behavioral problems in school. The program provides a positive and quiet environment where students can discuss academic and behavioral difficulties, receive academic help, and develop a plan for improvement. As a result, students "refocus" so that in-class success can occur.
Crisis Management – the counselor is an active part of the crisis management team in the district that is specially prepared to deal with a large-scale emergency.
Referrals to outside agencies – the elementary school works with many outside social agencies to help with the health, education and welfare of the students in the building. For more information please navigate to the following page: Mental Health Services at UCASD
