Parent Communication Platforms
Este ciclo escolar estamos trabajando continuamente para que nuestras familias se comuniquen con nosotros. Hemos creado un folleto para explicar todas las formas en que nos comunicamos. Ademas, estamos comenzando nuestros primeros grupos en el aula! Esta sera una excelente manera de comunicarse con otras familias en las aulas de sus alumnos. Asegurese de leer las expectativas adjuntas y luego escanee el codigo QR para comenzar! Envie un correo electronico a la Sra. Colman a lcolman@uplifteducation.org si el codigo QR no funciona. Incluir el nombre del estudiante, el maestro y su numero de telefono celular.
Room Parent Volunteers
We OFFICIALLY have our room parents for the 22-23 school year! Take a look at the designated parent for your scholar's grade level. We will announce the parent info next week. Thanks for those who will be our room parents! 😊
Clubs Update
Hello WRH families! CLUBS are starting this week! Let’s remember our main expectations:
1. Scholars must be picked up in carline at 5 o’clock sharp. This will be highly enforced and can lead to removal of club participation.
2.Club teachers will be notified of any misbehaviors from scholars in their regular classes. If behavior is a problem throughout the school day, scholars will be removed from clubs. Scholars who are misbehaving in their club will also be removed from their club for the rest of the semester.
3.Scholars need to be consistent in their club. More than 2 reasonable absences from clubs may lead to removal from club.
4.The club fee is $25. Please bring cash to Mrs. Parnell or to the front office.
Our club lists have been posted classdojo on September 2nd. Remember, you might not have gotten your first choice in clubs. We had over 300 scholars sign up! This is so exciting!! If you didn’t get your first choice, we will be doing another sign-up in January, but I promise that your scholar is going to have so much fun! Make sure you are following our social media pages for pictures throughout the year!
If you have any concerns, you can reach out to Mrs. Parnell on classdojo. 😊

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month
Vea las oportunidades en las que su estudiante puede participar en el Mes de la Herencia Hispana! Esto sera todos los miercoles a partir del miercoles 14 de septiembre - 12 de octubre.
Carline Pick Up
- Please DO NOT arrive early and stack up. This delays the start of our line and negatively impacts the community around us. Please do your part and do not arrive early.
- Please scoot your car up as close as possible when you get to the scholar drop off zone at the front. The closer cars are to each other, the more scholars we can get in and out at the same time and the faster it makes carline.
- If you are dropping off your scholar after 8AM, please walk your scholar inside and sign them in as tardy.
- In the scholar drop off zone, please get as close to the curb as possible to leave room for the passing lane.
- Please help us by getting scholars in and out of cars as quickly and safely as possible.
Volunteers needed!
We are in DESPERATE need of more volunteers. Please see below from last week. Please EMAIL MS. COLMAN, lcolman@uplifteducation.org and tell her any opportunities you are interested in and we will get you connected!!!

Sign up to Volunteer on VOLY!
We are so excited to have you back on campus for the 22-23 school year! As we prepare ourselves for the upcoming school year, we would like to ask you to update your VOLY accounts & for new families we are asking you to create an account.
For new families, I’m sure you’re saying, “what is VOLY”? VOLY, is a Volunteer Management system that the network/district utilizes to keep track of all volunteer opportunities that are happening on your campus. We also use this system to store media releases for families by campus and complete background checks for volunteers. This volunteer management system helps us to ensure that every adult that works with our scholars on campus is thoroughly vetted, and we are maintaining a safe environment for your children.
Every year our families are asked to log into their VOLY accounts and complete your media release and background checks for the coming school year. We are also asking families to update any personal information as needed.
Please utilize the below URL to login to VOLY and complete the above. We are also attaching a VOLY Resource Guide to help walk you through the steps.
Have you completed the lunch application?
Community Resources
Hand in Hand Community Resource Fair
We are excited to host our network-wide Community Resource Fair, Hand in Hand, on September 10th from 10 am - 2 pm. The Hand in Hand Community Resource Fair will connect Uplift families with community resources such as childhood and COVID vaccinations, immigration services, voter registration, financial literacy savings challenge, employment opportunities, and so much more. This event is free and open only to the Uplift community; however, we invite you to bring a friend, family member, or co-worker interested in applying for their child(ren) to attend an Uplift school with you. We will offer a free incentive to those bringing a friend, who submits an application for an Uplift school with our scholar recruitment managers.
Free lunch and snacks will also be provided at the resource fair. Fun activities for children will be available, so please feel free to bring the entire family.
We cannot wait to see our Uplift community!
