Thank you to all who attended our PTA meeting this week! Please join us each month as we begin to evolve our PTA meetings to be an experience for families. Our goal is to make sure parents walk away feeling more connected to the school and how they can help their child.

Projects
Calling All Creative Parents!

Every year, each UPark grade joins together to create an amazing class art project. These masterpieces are then presented to the community and sold at our annual auction. We are looking for ideas and parents to lead or facilitate these class projects.
The possibilities are endless: painting, transforming a piece of furniture, a sculpture, a mosaic or any creative expression that the whole grade can do (approximately 75 kids).

If you have an idea, a special talent, artful expression, want to lead a class or just learn more, please contact Amy Rogala

Wizard Hats are given throughout UPark to celebrate students' good choices and positive behavior. We use a common vocabulary and teach Critical Thinking skills using the BrainWise curriculum.  Each week there is a random drawing of 2 students done by classroom teachers. These children are photographed and receive a token of our appreciation.

*At the end of each month we will be donating all clothing in the lost and found and anything left in the halls(all clothing will go into our little red school house in our parking lot).
