Dear Parents/Guardians,



NWEA Testing today and tomorrow-
Today was the Math NWEA and tomorrow will be the Reading NWEA.  We are looking to see the growth from Fall to Spring in these areas.



Annie Jr. was Fantastic!-
Anyone who attended either/both of the Annie Jr. performances were blown away at the talent!  The students did such an outstanding job and had a fun time entertaining the crowds.  Thanks for coming out and supporting the kids!



Band Concert-
This Wednesday evening beginning at 7:00 PM will be the 6th-8th grade band concert in the John & Dede Howard Auditorium at SJHS.  It will be fun to see their final performance of the 2018-2019 school year.



8th grade farewell-
8th grade farewell will take place on Friday, May 31st beginning at 6:30 PM. (Note: In the foundation calendar it says May 30th, but the date is May 31st.)  The ceremony will be followed by a chance to get some pictures, and a dance that will end at 10:00 PM.  The dance and refreshments are free to the students.  We ask that the students dress nicely.  It is the last time this class will be together as a group at a dance until their senior dinner dance.   Here is a link to :  Upton 8th grade farewell Parents
