Team Special Services will be holding a Special Education Family Information Session on Monday, December 7th from 6-7pm.

Dear families,
We want to inform you that December 1, was Delia Wallace’s last day at University Prep. Ms. Wallace primarily worked with our 9th grade students and we are grateful for the work that she has done and the impact that she has had during her time with us this school year. We will Ms. Wallace and wish her the best. Below is a message from Delia that we wanted to share with the team.


Hello All, 
 
It is with deep gratitude that I have chosen to say goodbye to AFUP. My time here has been filled with good memories and wonderful people. I am extremely proud of this team and all that we have been able to accomplish with our students’ wellbeing at the forefront of our minds. I am genuinely going to miss working with the students, staff, and families. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with some personal circumstances that have led me to make the decision to leave but I am happy to have gotten to grow alongside you this year. 
 
Thank you for everything,
 
Delia Wallace
