Folks,


End of the Marking Period/Grades due-
Today is officially the end of the 1st marking period.  Wow, where did the time go?  Grades are now due Tuesday, November 6th by 4:00 PM.  It would be great that when we run the verification report Wednesday (Nov. 7th) morning it says, "100% submitted!"

What:  A chance to talk to each parent for 5 minutes or less.

We will also have a community resource fair in the hallway between middle school and high school conferences.  High School conferences are in the SJHS Field House.  Our awesome UPTO group will also be sponsoring a meal between afternoon and evening conferences.

BLT Tuesday-
BLT will be Tuesday, November 6th from 2:50-3:35 PM

Career Day-
Renee, Torrey, Amy, Beth and Craig have planned a very nice career day for next Friday, November 9th.  Hopefully you had the chance to read Torrey's email from Tuesday afternoon with all the details.  If you haven't read it, please do so today.  The email contains the schedule, room assignments, etc.

Picture Retakes-
Picture retakes will take place on Monday, November 5th in the morning.  Students will bring their picture packets back with them and turn them into the picture company, Geskus.  This is also an opportunity for students who have not yet had their pictures taken for one reason or another to have it done.  If you have not had your picture taken this is the last time for yearbook purposes.

Guest Speaker on November 14th-
Just a reminder that we will have a guest speaker, Todd Jadlow, former Indiana, New Jersey Nets, and European basketball player talking to our students on Wednesday, November 14th at 9:00 AM.

Marigold of the week-
Kelsey Griffith for doing a phenomenal job student-teaching at Upton Middle School!  She was a part of every thing we did at UMS, did a great job helping Dana get through her pneumonia so that the students didn't miss a beat, and also assisted other staff with various roles.  We wish her the best in her next adventure!
