8th grade Farewell-
This Friday, June 2nd is 8th grade farewell. We ask the students to arrive in the 7th/8th grade hallway around 6:10 P.M. The ceremony will begin at 6:30 P.M. After the ceremony the dance will last until 10:00 P.M. It will be a very nice evening for our 8th graders just before their exam week, and their sendoff to the high school.
Exam Week-
As you know next week is exam week at Upton Middle School. 2nd semester exams account for 20% of the semester grade for 7th & 8th graders, and 10% for 6th graders. Semester exams prepare our students for what they will experience in high school. We will have 1/2 days on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday with a dismissal time of 11:04 A.M.
On Tuesday, June 6th all students 6th-8th will take their 5th hour exam in the morning. Our sixth graders will also take their 6th hour exam on that day as well.
Wednesday, June 7th will be 1st and 2nd hour exams
Thursday, June 8th will 3rd and 4th hour exams
Friday, June 9th will be 6th hour exams for 7th & 8th graders, and the 6th graders will have their track and field day.
Wonderful concert and tomorrow-
We had another wonderful concert last week as our middle school orchestra students performed really well! It was capped off by our 8th graders playing a fun rendition of Smoke on the Water. The Gregory twins guided the 8th grade orchestra through the song!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 31st our choirs will perform at the John & Dede Auditorium beginning at 7:00 P.M. It will be a nice way to cap off the concert season.
8th grade laptops-
Your son/daughter can have their laptop looked at before school Wednesday-Friday this week and Monday of next week if you are planning to purchase it by our IT department.

Quote of the week (Hopefully you had a great Memorial Day!):
"137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy.” - Doc Hastings
Have a great week,
Mr. Mandarino
