The mission of the Union School District is to enrich the community through learning. We are dedicated to children: to involve the community, to anticipate challenges; to take advantage of opportunities; and, to guarantee vital skills for all our children to pursue lifelong learning and become productive citizens.

At Noddin, we emphasize service to self, service to others, and service to our community. Our children learn from example. Nodin is a PeaceBuilders school. PeaceBuilders is a character education program that instills attributes such as honesty, taking responsibility for all actions, and being good caretakers of our environment. Noddin is also a "Go Green School" and has been in partnership with the City of San Jose to promote recycling in and outside of the classroom. The entire community participates!
