Principal
After the events this week, we know how important good communication is. We want to make sure our community is aware that
Denver Public Schools is having trouble sending and receiving emails from Microsoft email addresses. This includes emails ending in live.com, msn.com and outlook.com. Emails sent to and from these addresses may be delayed in delivery. If you sent an email from a Microsoft email and have not heard back, please contact the main office. If you need to provide us with a copy of the Class Placement Information Sheet a hard copy can be dropped off in the office.
We look forward to a safe and productive rest of the school year. Thank you all for your continued support.

Green Team Recycling Update
Recycle your plastic bags on the playground! Our Green Team has installed several Plastic Bag Recycling Tubes around University Park for everyone to use.
YES!
RECYCLE YOUR PLASTIC BAGS IF:
- It can stretch when I pull with both hands. If you cannot stretch them apart with your hands, throw it in the garbage.
- Take off paper, labels, tape and adhesive before recycling.
- Colored plastic can recycle.
NO!
PLEASE DO NOT RECYCLE:
- Dirty or Sticky bags-with peanut butter, jelly or other stuff.
- Wrappers that make a loud crinkle sound (like chip bag or candy wrappers) when I mash it in my hand? NO, this plastic film can not recycle in our tubes.
- Thicker plastic like a dog/cat food bag or a frozen vegetable bag? NO, this type of plastic does not recycle well.

2019-2020 Classes
As we begin to prepare for the 2019-2020 school year, we would like to give you the opportunity to tell us about your child and their learning needs. You can learn more about the class placement process and fill out the Student Information Sheet HERE. In order to save paper we are not sending home a paper copy in Thursday folders. Please turn the form in to the main office or email it to Eric Atonna by April 19th.
As we build our classes we are always focusing on keeping classes as small as possible. That wouldn't be possible without the amazing support we get from all of you. Thank you for your participation in the UPark Auction as well as the continued support you all provide daily.

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.
