Personal Responsibility-
The guidance department went into all the 7th grade science classes to discuss personal responsibility last week. As part of this presentation, all the students had some “homework” - each student is to come up with 1 way to be more responsible at home & 1 way to be more responsible at school. Starting Mon 12/5 – Thurs 12/15 the students will track how they are doing on these goals, get a parent signature, and turn in the paper on Friday 12/16 to his/her science teacher.
Hour of Code-
This Friday, December 9th the entire student body will take part in the international day of code. Each student will work for a portion of time on coding and be able to go at their comfort level from beginner to advanced. This is the third annual event held here at Upton.
