UNITED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Preparing our Students for Tomorrow...Today!
The United School District was awarded a Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools (PARSS) grant to purchase new Bambu 3D printers, along with the necessary components and materials. These printers will enhance STEM instruction in both district buildings. This investment will further strengthen our already successful STEM programming and help prepare students with the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need for future success.
Please see the information below regarding Kindergarten and Pre-K Counts pre-registration at United Elementary School for the 2026-2027 school year.
