- Thanks to Ian Brown for coming up with a student accountability pilot for anyone interested. The whole 6th grade is going to do it for sure every Tuesday morning during recycling time. I would like to encourage everyone to do this. It may later be something we 100% do, but for right now we will call it a pilot. I will have Ian share it out today.
- The cat is out of the bag on changes to the staff lounge. (I wanted it to be a surprise, but it just didn't work out.) I really want to thank Becky Heaps and Cindy Igoe for their leadership. Many changes are coming.
Wonderful Choir Concert-
Last evening the 6th-8th graders performed for the first concert of the year for UMS. Beth as always had the choirs ready and sounding good!
Technology Choices-
Please read Amy's email from last evening regarding your technology choices. I can't wait to read about your choices. You are doing great things!
DLT Reps at Ruby Payne-
The representatives of the District Leadership team and I will be at Ruby Payne PD on Monday in Niles. The framework for the PD looks at the obstacles and hurdles that students of low-SES face and how to help them be more successful.
Facebook Photo-
Friday is the facebook photo day for Upton Middle School. If you have a great picture please share it with me, so that I can send it to Central for the SJPS Facebook page. Today I am going to try and get a few photos of the Socratic Method in Chris G's room and maybe a 7th grader giving a speech in Cathy G's room.

The first rotation will be over on Monday, October 23rd. The second rotation begins on Tuesday, October 24th.
Around the corner-
Don't forget 8th grade science students will be out Oct. 24th (1/2) and Oct. 26th (the other 1/2) at their annual fish hatchery and water filtration plant field trip.
