FAST Testing Information
Our Library is up and Running
We have started student check-outs so you will see University Park library books coming home soon. As a reminder, books are due back two weeks from check-out. I will be working with your children to remind them of due dates and returning borrowed books.
But, we need your help! Our library currently is missing 523 books from the past few years. Some missing books are way back from 2020, when school shut down in the spring. Some are from spring and fall 2021. Please look around the house and return any books that are marked University Park. There is a white barcode taped to the upper left corner of library books that says University Park Elementary School, and includes the tile and library number. If you have transferred from another school in Brevard County and find another school’s book, send it in to me and I will send it to that school. Thank you in advance for taking a good look and returning our library books!
