Sign the Sheet Please -

Just a reminder to sign the sheets in front of Grace's desk for 1:1 pupil accounting.

Tuesday Advisory-

Anti-Bullying and Unity day advisory.  Your lesson guide is in the Upton Middle School Staff Google classroom under advisory. You will have some time on Monday to look through this more in detail, so that you are comfortable with it on Tuesday.  You also received materials in your mailbox this week.  I will introduce the P2 word of integrity before school on Tuesday that will take the place of Day 1.

Upton Choir Concert-

We will have a choir concert at the John & Dede Auditorium at SJHS next Tuesday, October 19th at 7:00 PM.  All of our performing arts concerts will put a smile on your face and students love seeing you there.

Attention Veterans... -

Hello SJPS family!

 

SJHS Student Senate is excited to bring back the annual Veterans Breakfast this year! We could use your help spreading the word about this event. Please share the invitation below (also attached as a pdf) with all Veterans in your life. We are looking forward to honoring the Veterans in our community!

 

Teachers, if your class would like to contribute anything to the Veterans Breakfast please let me know! In the past, we have had cards, banners, and video clips. I know that these pieces created by your students mean so much to the Veterans that attend the breakfast. 

 

Thank you for your help spreading the word!
