Mike Smith this Morning-
Tutoring begins this week-
Tutoring at St. Joseph High School begins this week Tuesday and Thursday in the media center. The sessions run until 4:00 PM. St. Joseph High School National Honor Society students tutor the students. This tutoring is supervised by SJHS staff. Students obtain a bus pass from the Upton Middle School office and ride the Pink Pig to the corner of Lakeview and Donna where they cross the street to the media center. For the first few weeks a SJHS student will be waiting for them at the bus stop.
On Wednesdays we have retired adults who tutor in our media center from 2:45-3:45. Students bring materials and can be tutored in any subject at both locations.
Late-Start and Count Day-
This Wednesday is a late start and is also count day for the State of Michigan. School will begin at 8:45 AM and breakfast will be available beginning at 8:15 AM. Buses will run one hour later than the normal times.
Go Gold for Cancer-
Thanks to the generosity of our Upton families the Interact Club will be able to make a nice donation to cancer research! Below is our sixth grade group in their gold/yellow.
GO Time Begins this week-
This Thursday will begin our GO (Growth Opportunity) Time this school year. Students at this time have interventions, extensions, makeup quizzes/tests, and some fun/different opportunities. This time is built into the school day and every class still meets. GO time is a 6th-12th grade initiative.
