The Virtual Variety Show is Here! -
This incredible show has come together despite the circumstances! A special thanks to Sandy Krieg (the director), the Fisbeck family for helping to produce the video (especially senior- Will Fisbeck), and of course all the talented performers! Enjoy the show:
Locker Pickup, Yearbook Pickup, Library book drop-off, and 7th grade time capsules -
We will be having a drive-up pickup of locker items on Thursday, June 4th. In your son/daughter's bag will be their hallway locker items and their yearbook if they ordered one. Times for this will come out later this week/early next week and will be based on your last name.
We will have a station to drop off any library books your daughter/son may have.
We will also have a station for any 7th grader to drop off their time capsule work for their English class. I know the senior class had a wonderful time reading through their time capsules last week!
An email will come out this week from our IT department to discuss the student laptop computers as well.
8th grade message -
A FlipGrid called “Farewell to 8th Grade” has been created to celebrate your final days as an 8th grader at Upton Middle School. There’s a space for you to send a personal message to your classmates: Meet the 8th Grade Class. Please follow the instructions in the topic, keep your message to 30 seconds or less, and have it done by Sunday, May 31st. If you have any questions, you may contact Mrs. Cabanilla-Sinnett
rcabanilla-sinnett@sjschools.org or Mrs. Nicholson knicholson@sjschools.org Thank you!
8th grade Baby Photo -
The Upton 2020 Eighth-Grade Farewell Committee is collecting baby pictures of the eighth graders to combine with their yearbook pictures in a celebration of how far they've come. Ordinarily, this would be a photo display on the walls at the eighth-grade farewell, but this year, it's a virtual celebration! Please submit a digital copy of one of your student's baby pictures on this google form: https://forms.gle/
Virtual Ren Baldwin Tech Festival -
Check out the 2020 Ren Baldwin Tech Fest Website! It was a phenomenal display of talent!
Congratulations to all of the participants and thank you SJPS Foundation for your support!
Community Corkboard -
Is soccer something you son/daughter might be interested in? Summer reading opportunity? Camps, etc.? Check out the community corkboard on our district website:
Virtual Jogging Club -
Are you tired of lounging on the couch? Are you running out of Netflix options? Do you feel like there's more to life and you can't quite put a finger on it?
Well, maybe it's time for you to get on Strava.
Strava is a fitness app that can be installed on most devices. It uses GPS to track your latest and greatest activities. Anything from running to biking. Windsurfing to roller skiing. You name it, Strava will track it.
I have created a Strava group named "Upton Runner's Club" to serve as a community for our Upton students and staff that want to get active, do some good for their bodies, and encourage each other along the way.
Here's a quick vid to help you get set up.
If you're having trouble, but really want to get connected in this way just reach out to me. I'll do everything I can to get you set up.
Thanks,
Mr. Maier Mmaier@sjschools.org
