Exams for Algebra, Geometry, French, and Studio Art-
Exams for any 7th or 8th graders taking Algebra or Geometry will take place on Thursday, January 23rd. Those students in French will take their exam on Friday, January 24th. Studio art students will work with Mr. Fralick on the coordination of their end of the semester assessments.
8th grade new semester classes-
Next Monday, January 27th will be new semester courses for 8th graders.
Pre-arranged Absence Form-
If your child plans to be out of school for 3 or more school days, please have them come to the office to pick up a Pre-arranged Absence Form the week before. This form needs to be filled out prior to the absence by the teachers and signatures from the student and parent are needed as well. We really appreciate your help with this!
As you can imagine the office at Upton gets really busy at the end of a school day! Please when trying to get a message to your son/daughter to communicate by noon if possible. When we get requests near the end of the day it is really difficult sometimes to get all the messages where they need to go. In advance, we appreciate your support on this!
