Weekly Top for 11-16-18

Folks,



No meeting Monday-
No Monday meeting (staff, school improvement, tech.) for our short work week.

BLT Tuesday-
Our BLT team will meet on Tuesday, November 20th from 2:50-3:35 PM.  We have a few interesting topics.

1/2 day-
It will be all classes for 30 minutes each on Wednesday, November 21st.  The high school is also running all classes for 1/2 the time.

Conferences-
Thanks again for your time, great conversations, and insight you shared with parents last week at conferences.
Here are the statistics:
6th grade-  53% (121)
7th grade-  49%  (127)
8th grade-  50 % (114)
362 of 714 students represented for 51% overall.

Our assembly this week-
We had four follow-up cards that Sportsworld returned to Upton Middle School from the Todd Jadlow talk. Torrey & Amy will see all four students.  This assembly provided the opportunity to catch these 4 students and see what is going on, and hopefully they can be helped.

Staff meeting this week-
I hope you found the staff meeting as informative as I did.  Dr. Flynn is a very nice lady and is always willing to help if needed.  We had a mom talk to me this week about her child wanting to harm himself.  

Marigold/s of the week-

Teri retrieved a suspicious envelope out of recycling.  It turns out it was a BOP fundraising envelope with money in it! Teri also compiled our conference data from above.

I would also like to thank our kitchen ladies for their turkey luncheon on Wednesday.  They always provide service with a smile.

Quote of the week-

Keep shooting and never give up! You will eventually succeed!

Have a wonderful weekend,

Chad
