The 2019 Auction will be held on Saturday, April 6th, 2019 at Archetype Distillery (119 S Broadway). This event, and the Apple Campaign, are University Park's most
important fundraisers, and are the key to our continued success and growth. The auction is also a fun way for parents, guardians, and faculty to connect and support our
school and the community. All of the proceeds will go towards additional homeroom teachers and keeping our classroom sizes small. Our goal is to raise $77,000 this year.
More information and how to donate to this event will be communicated in the coming weeks.
The auction committee is looking for additional members to assist with the planning and coordination of this event. If you are interested in joining the committee, please email Tamara Reese & Rachelle Montanaro at [email protected].

Denver Public School District Communication
In addition to robo-calls, DPS families will now receive texts from the district in the case of an emergency. Messages will be sent during crises such as lockdowns, evacuations and weather delays/closures. This new communication method allows DPS to inform families of issues in a much shorter time frame.
Parents and guardians have automatically been opted-in to receive emergency texts based on cell phone numbers provided during registration. Please check to make sure your information is up-to-date in Parent Portal. Messages will be sent in English and Spanish.
Learn more about lockdowns and lockouts here.

ENRICHMENT: Enrichment has officially started! Please help remind your students which classes they are attending. Teachers have rosters to help guide their students to classes after school as well. If you would like to withdraw from an enrichment, please contact Austin.
Enrichment classes will dismiss to the blacktop either behind the gym door, auditorium door, door #9, or door #15 when the class has ended for the day. You may double check your enrichment end time on the Neighborhood Center section of the school website. Please do not enter the building to pick-up for enrichment. Note that tennis lesson students will be picked up directly at Observatory Park on Thursdays.
You may contact Kyle Wiley for any enrichment absences at [email protected] or (720) 467-1671. He will be support for both AM & PM enrichment.
DISCOVERY LINK: Please make sure to e-mail Austin for any anticipated Discovery Link absences. It also helps to e-mail the office staff and/or your student's classroom teacher.
We are currently on a wait list for both AM & PM Discovery Link sessions. If you would like to sign up and get on the wait list, please click here and follow the instructions. Remember, registration is not a confirmation of your spot. You will receive a separate e-mail once a spot opens that includes a start date. If you're a current enrichment family, you do not need to make a new account. For more details, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] or visit the Discovery Link website.
SCHEDULE CHANGES/WITHDRAWALS (Discovery Link): Please visit the Family Resources section of the Discovery Link website here if you are a current discovery link family and need to withdraw or change schedules. This will open up spots for other families! Thank you!
