Principal Update
The CSC held their final meeting of the school year last week. The CSC's primary objective this year was to improve communication. It was a broad goal with lots of opportunities for improvement. Working together with our new Principal, the PTA, and the Senior Leadership Team, the CSC was able to accomplish the following items:
- Streamlined Thursday communication from the school with the implementation of the Electronic Newsletter
- Created Communication policy for information going out to school community
- Supported internal creation of Teacher Communication policy (in effect next school year) that outlines the minimum information families will receive from their child's Homeroom teacher on a consistent basis
- Create and implement an Exit Interview Process to capture information when families move on from UPark
- Increased alignment with Principal, PTA, and Senior Leadership Team so all organizations are working towards common mission, vision, and school goals
- Sent district information when appropriate through the electronic newsletter to connect our UPark community more with the larger DPS community
- Outlined areas of opportunity for future CSC projects: Marketing Policy, Volunteer Policy, Updated Student/Parent Handbook
- Completed annual requirements: approved Balanced Budget for next school year, completed Principal Performance Review, attended several Superintendent Forum meetings
Although we are happy with this year's accomplishments, there are always more opportunities to improve upon processes, systems, and communication to continue strengthening our UPark Community. We look forward to resuming our mission of increased communication next year!

PTA
Thank you to all who attended the last PTA meeting of the school year. You can see the meeting minutes here. We voted to fund a small school beautification project, teacher conferences and workshops during the summer, classroom materials, and even a UPark app to be unveiled in the fall that will help us to further improve communication with our families!

Wanted Items:
Now that we have promethean boards in almost every classroom, we need to keep them clean and safe for the summer! An inexpensive way to do this is with clean sheets/pillow cases. If you have pillow cases and FULL size FITTED bed sheets please drop them off in the office.
