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.
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.
