2017-18 Apple Campaign  
The Apple Campaign is off to a great start! We thank those of you who have already donated. This campaign keeps class sizes small, and ALL the money you donate goes to pay for teacher salaries! How great is that?! Please remember that each family's participation is very important, no matter the amount donated. As you can see from the chart above, we still need more help. If your child's grade has the most participation by November 10th, they will win a popcorn party and be an Apple All-Star.
 
You can donate easily by dropping off a check made out to UPark PTA in the school office or donate HERE . Thank you!

Health Office Updates

It's immunizations time again. If you have not turned in a current copy of your student's immunizations please do so. Over the next two weeks a letter will be sent home if your student is not up to date. DPS and the Colorado Immunization Law require that students must have documentation and be up to date with immunizations.

Any DPS student can visit one of the DPS School Based Clinics to get up to date on immunizations. These services are free of charge to all DPS students regardless of insurance status. University Park's School Based Clinic is at Place Bridge (720-424-2050, 7125 Cherry Creek North Drive 80224). See below for additional health clinics and immunization resources.
  • Shot for Tots and Teens: low cost or free walk-in clinic. No appointment necessary. Parent or legal guardian must be present. Bring your child's immunization record every time.

5 Star Wizard Hat Students
 
Congratulations to last week's 5 Star Wizard Hat students! They were recognized by their teachers for positive behavior. 
 
Last week's students include: Elliott Bieschke, Chris Trujillo, Connor Newcomb, Lu Smith, Bristol Betts, Dea Fazliu, Lucas Lipke, Calvin Davidson, Olivia Stevens, Ethan Ogaro, Jacob White, Crosby Stutz, Brody Mesquita-Taylor, Dallin Simpson, Orion Michas, Wesley Tyner, Julian LeClaire, Callie Dorsett, Jai Benford, Lincoln Gallagher, Oliver Samuels, Alex Inghilterra, Abby Hazelwood, Dexter Sheely, Brady Kuehn, Adrie Wilson, Giovanna Golan, Zyrik Pena, Kenna Whorton, Jayden McClinton, Eliana Menkis.    


 
Wizard Hats are given throughout UPark to celebrate students' good choices and positive behavior. We use a common vocabulary and teach Critical Thinking skills using the BrainWise curriculum.  Each week there is a random drawing of 2 students done by classroom teachers. These children are photographed and receive a token of our appreciation. 
*At the end of each month we will be donating all clothing in the lost and found and anything left in the halls (all clothing will go into our little red school house in our parking lot).
