Weekly Top for 9-10-21

 "Upton Family",

Thanks for a great first week -

I so appreciate this staff and the positive attitude you have shown this first week.  I know that with the new bell schedules this year, the new advisory, the new school improvement, and P2 you have had a lot thrown your way, however we do things together and together we can do anything!  (Or almost anything!). Please come and see me if something is bothering you.  

School Improvement Meeting Monday beginning at 2:55 PM-

• Part 1-  Positivity Project Tutorial for Week 1
• Part 2- Circles for the advisory Thursday, Sept. 16th (and going forward)

Back to School Night Tuesday-

Next Tuesday, September 14th is Back to School Night.  It is an an evening when the parents are excited to meet you and get to know a little about your personality and what experience their daughter/son will get from your class this school year.  Doors will open at Upton at 6:10 PM.  If your health will allow, please park in the church parking lot across the street.  We will start announcements as close to 6:30 PM as possible.  

Congratulations to Matt Waters-

Matt spent close to 33 hours this summer getting trained for student restraints at the Berrien RESA.  His TCIS certification was done through Cornell University.  Matt is a certified trainer and will now be the district lead in training the administrators in this endeavor.

Board of Education meeting at Upton this Monday, September 13th-

The board of education meeting will take place this Monday, September 13th at 6:00 PM in the Upton Auditorium.

Hallway Vote -

Craig and I are open to staff input as you know.  (Time schedules, advisory, etc.) In an effort to obtain more staff feedback some have mentioned we should obtain your input on hallway flow.  We did this to avoid traffic clogging with lockers back, but we are open to changing it.  Please vote on the Upton Middle School staff google page.

Postive Vibes-

Every Friday we will collect the week's positive vibes and those will be sent out.  Continue bringing them to the office!  I can't wait to hear the positivity this week!
