Good Evening UPA Community,
The 2021-2022 school year at University Preparatory Academy has begun and the energy of our students and staff is well beyond our most optimistic expectations.   After 16 months of empty classrooms and hallways it is joyous to hear students going into class ready and eager to learn, then to come out again – ready for another day.   We certainly had some hiccups – traffic flow, internet, and air conditioning – but we have addressed them successfully and improving every day.   I thank you for your patience and understanding.    Your support of UPA has meant the world to the staff and we want to invite you into our virtual classrooms on Thursday, September 2nd.
This year’s back to school night will be via zoom, but it will be a live event.   We will start with a brief introduction by the administration and counseling and then you will be able to transition to meeting your child’s teachers.    To make the process as easy as possible, we have attached your child’s schedule with the zoom links that was sent out yesterday evening via email.    To attend the welcome meeting, please follow this link: https://upatoday.zoom.us/j/89276669248.
