Print your Union County NC School Supply List

In Union County Public Schools here in North Carolina, it's time to print those back-to-school classroom supplies lists from your teachers!

School "Meet the Teacher" open houses for some schools begin on Friday, August 4th - check each school's unique website for date and time.  This is the day some schools ask you to bring in your school supplies.

Let's make it easy - here are the Quick Links to your school's websites:

• UCPS Elementary Schools
• UCPS Middle Schools
• UCPS High Schools

UCPS also has some great "Back to School Tips" to remember.

Don't forget sometimes the best back-to-school deals are at your local CVS and Walgreen's drug stores - you just need to make a list and shop a little each week, buying only what's on sale.
