Destination UCity Schools
Schedule Revised
October 02, 2008
The current schedule for the School District of University City’s community engagement program known as “Destination UCity Schools,” has been revised.
The next set of meetings, which will feature a discussion on the current state and future needs of the district’s building facilities, will be held on Saturday, October 11 and Tuesday, October 14.
Originally the meetings were scheduled for October 7 and 11. Also the topic, which would have focused on Family and Community Involvement, has been changed. The new dates for the October meetings will be Saturday, October 11 from 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m at the Julia Goldstein Early Education Center (EEC), 727 Kingsland and Tuesday, October 14 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Pershing Elementary School, 6761 Bartmer Ave. The changes were made to allow the administration to better prepare for our presentation on District Facilities.
