I’ve added a Disability and Special Needs Resources Page.

Dear Friends of Families,

As we look ahead to a start of summer and a new school year, I’m hoping you will help disseminate the linked educational brochures with your contacts across the state.  I’d welcome your ideas on how to get these into the hands of every family you serve—with whom you interact. 

English brochure

Spanish brochure

I’ve had some of the school nutritionists committed to helping with the distribution in some schools across the state; it would be wonderful if you would collaborate by placing them in your agency/centers and throughout appropriate places where parents and grandparents could see them.

This link will take you to an order form which can be completed requesting that I send you packets (100 in each).  They are “palm cards” which means you can use them in mailing (USPS) as well as display on site.

Looking forward to hearing from many of you!

Kind regards,

The UCPS Mobile Book Bus

Beginning June 14, the UCPS Mobile Book Bus will make dozens of stops at centralized locations throughout the county. With the help of UCPS volunteers and media coordinators, elementary-aged children will have the opportunity to board the retrofitted bus and pick out an age-appropriate book at no cost to their families – a move that will ultimately help to improve their literacy skills and ensure all students have access to books throughout the summer.

The UCPS Mobile Book Bus will run from June 14 until August 14. Please see the link above to find out when the book bus rolls into your area. Dates are placed on the calendar two weeks out.
