2019-20 School Year Enrollment

If you know that your student(s) WILL NOT be returning to University Park next school year please fill out THIS form and return it to the office or email it to  Sharon Rusin . We appreciate you letting us know this as soon as possible as we plan for next year. This will help us better understand who is coming back in order to keep our class sizes small, plan for staffing and manage choice enrollment.

If you have a sibling of a current student that will be attending University Park in the fall, please notify the main office at 720-424-3410. This will allow us to update our enrollment projections and include you on new student communications.

Thank you,

UPark Owl Ticket Students 
Trait of the Month (April): Responsibility

Congratulations to last week's Owl Ticket students! They were recognized by their teachers for above and beyond positive behavior. 


  
Owl Tickets are given to students for going above and beyond in one of our five core values: caring, cooperation, responsibility, respect and joy. Owl Tickets focus on the school's trait of the month, give students a chance to participate in the weekly "Owl Tickets" photo and will be posted on the new "UPARK" letters in our main hallway.

*At the end of each month we will be donating all clothing in the lost and found and anything left in the halls.
