Exhibition Sign-up

Hello Families,

It is time for exhibitions again.  I know I am excited, and I hope you are too.  Please rank your choices 1, 2, and 3, where 1 is your first choice.  I’ll do my best to get you your first choice.  An important adult needs to be present for the exhibition.  This could be mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, uncle, auntie, good neighbor friend, etc.  Please don’t try to reschedule.  It causes tremendous disruptions in our day.  If you are new to UPA, you may want to sign up towards the end so that your child can watch other students go first.  Thanks for your help in all of this.
