Note From Barb
Dear UPark Families,
I am sad to let you all know that after 18 years of serving University Park's students and families, I will be leaving my position as UPark's Social Worker at the end of this school year. I will be continuing my work next year within the Denver Public Schools at Traylor Academy. I will miss all of our students, staff and families, but look forward to what my new adventure will have in store.
University Park will have a social worker for four days a week next year. Central office is working on hiring someone asap and working towards a smooth transition. Please feel free to contact Grant with any questions.
Yours Sincerely,
Barb Lamana
