Mandarino Minutes for 9-18-17

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Back to School Night-
Tonight (Monday, September 18th) is our Upton Back to School Night.  The evening will begin at 7:00 P.M. Your daughter/son will tell you who their first hour teacher is and their class schedule will be with there.  Each class will meet for 11 minutes with a passing time in between.  We look forward to seeing you!



One-Hour Delay-
This Wednesday, September 20th will be a late start.  School will begin exactly one hour later 8:45 A.M.  Buses will also run one later.  Our school will be open with supervision at its usual time of 7:15 A.M.



itsLearning-
We would love if each parent could sign in and bookmark itsLearning.  Here is a link to parent directions on itsLearning parent portal directions:  itsLearning Parent Portal . We also encourage you to have your daughter/son login and see what they see from their end of itsLearning.  These directions can also be found on the sjschools.org webpage under PARENTS—PARENT TOOLS—LMS.  If you have any questions about itsLearning parent portal, please email Amy Dirlam at adirlam@sjschools.org

UPTO-
Our first PTO meeting of the year is this Thursday, September 21st at 12:00 in the Upton Conference room.


Parking in the Staff Lot after school-
Please do not park in the staff parking lot (North Parking Lot) after school when picking up you children.  We have staff that have been blocked in who have to get to coaching, club, and other activities at other buildings.  We ask that you park in the main parking lot on the east side of the building.  Thanks with your help with this!


Note in the Morning-
If your son/daughter needs to see a teacher in the morning before school, we ask that you write a note indicating to our morning supervisors that they should be excused from their grade level gathering area.


Quote of the Week-
"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." - Maya Angelou

Have a great week,
Mr. Mandarino
