Staff Survey-

As part of our new school improvement report, we must survey the staff on various items.  Please take a few moments and give us your feedback.  Staff Survey Link

Knock-Out November-

We have a group effort going on between Builders Club, Interact Club, and Student council to provide non-perishable & toiletry items for the Emergency Safe Shelter.  Please encourage your homerooms to participate. 

Beautiful Landscaping Continues-

The beautiful landscaping continues around Upton.  If you haven't got a chance to look at the morning student entrance area/picnic area it really looks nice.  Rocque Emlong and his crew really worked hard on this last phase.

Lock your Door Please-

Please remember to lock your door each afternoon when you leave at the end of the school day.  We have so many activities going on at Upton in the evening, and we want to ensure your room is secure.
