Mandarino Minutes for 10-30-17

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Parent Survey-
As part of our school improvement process, we are always looking for ways to improve at Upton.  We would love if you would just take a few moments to answer some questions at this site:

Parent-Teacher Conferences on November 9th-
Parent-teacher conferences will be located at St. Joseph High School in the Student Center.  The date is next Thursday, November 9th from 12:30-4:00 P.M. and from 5:30-8:30 P.M.  Students will have a half-day on this day.  The students will also have a half-day on Friday, November 10th, but no conferences are on this day.  For parents new to the process, you wait in line for each staff member and it is 5 minutes to talk with each teacher at a table in the high school student center. Please have your son/daughter's schedule of teachers as we will not be printing report cards for the 1st Marking period.

End of the Marking Period-
This Friday, November 3rd is the end of the first marking period.  In 6th-12th grades we do not print hard copies of the report card for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd marking periods.  We mail a final report card with all four marking periods at the end of the school year.  The grades can be viewed on PowerSchool parent portal.  If you need a hard copy we can print one for you by you contacting your child's counselor.


Builders Club this Wednesday-
The Builders Club will have a meeting after school this Wednesday, November 1st.  It will their “Random Acts of Kindness” day.  The students will be helping out all over the building after school Wednesday.

Coders Club this Thursday, November 2nd-
This Thursday after school in the Media Center is Coders Club.  This is open to any student 6th-8th grade.


Halloween tomorrow-
Please help us in limiting the amount of Halloween candy that is brought to Upton.  We would rather they keep the candy at home and eat it there.  Thanks!
