PHOENIX FAMILY UPDATE
January 8th
Dear Achievement First University Prep Families,

Like many of you, we watched what happened at the Capitol on Wednesday in shock and horror. Like many of you, we are working to understand what happened and process our emotions and thoughts. Our democracy was attacked, but our school community remains strong, and we will face this challenge together as we have so many others.

Best,
Jason Coalter
PHOENIX INFORMATION HUB
Senior Items!
Hi senior students and families! We're excited to get the ball rolling with senior items and activities! Due to the nature of this school year, we are still determining our plan for senior portraits, but we are pleased to say that AFUP will be covering the costs for caps and gowns! We are also moving forward with plans for senior sweatshirts and yearbooks. Seniors: please fill out this google form to let us know what you and your families are interested in purchasing for the year!

Phoenix Family Leadership Team
As part of our efforts to strengthen family engagement, we are re-establishing our Phoenix Family Leadership Team (PFLT). This group is our version of a PTA (Parent Teacher Association). Parent/guardians of AFUP scholars will have the opportunity to connect virtually with other parent/guardians/family members and staff. Topics will range from Academics to recipe sharing to health and wellness. We want your ideas and encourage you to complete THIS SURVEY no later than Friday, January 15, 2021.
 
We plan to have our first meeting at the end of January once we receive feedback from you on your availability. If you have questions, please contact Mr. Rodriguez at cynthiarodriguez@achievementfirst.org
