School Performance Framework (SPF) Update and Standards
Because of changes in state testing in 2014-15 and the lack of growth data, DPS will not be releasing a 2015 School Performance Framework (SPF) for schools. We know that parents, guardians, and community members use the SPF as one of many resources to understand schools' quality. In absence of an SPF rating this year, we wanted to provide a comprehensive list of district reports and resources parents, guardians, and community members can use in lieu of SPF ratings to determine school quality. Click
here for more SPF Parent Resources.

PTA
For 11 years, the PTA has planned the University Park Home Tour, a beloved community event and fundraiser for UPark. This year, there will be no Home Tour so that we can focus our time and efforts on growing our other fundraisers. Without the income from the Home Tour, the Apple Campaign is more important than ever. If you haven't donated yet, please click
here. Thank you to everyone who has helped with this event in the past. We hope you will volunteer your time to one of our other great committees!
