Thanks for reading the blog from Monday. I have a few more items to add this week.
Notes for Appointments-
Whether it is a doctor, dentist, orthodontist, or another appointment we would appreciate if your daughter/son would bring a note to the office before school. We will then give them a pass immediately that they will present to the teacher to come to the office at the determined time. It is preferred to have the note over a message left on the voice mail. When you come into the school to sign them out they will put the pass in a little wire basket by the door, and when they return to school they use this same pass to admit them back into class. Thanks for your help with this.
Mrs.
Humes along with Mrs. Amy Nolan from the St. Joseph Public Library are
starting a 6th grade only lunchtime book club. The first book that they
are going to discuss is Chasing Vermeer. This is a very exciting
book written by Blue Balliett. If your son/daughter are interested
they should go to the Upton Middle School Media Center for a permission
slip. We hope that your son/daughter consider this.
Builders Club-
Our November project is “Knock-Out November,” a food drive for our local Emergency Shelter Services. We will be collecting food items through November 18th. All students are welcome to attend and try out Builders Club. Membership applications and dues should be turned in by November 18th. Please contact Mrs. Reck (kreck@sjschools.org) or Mrs. Hunnell (shunnell@sjschools.org) with any questions.
Football game behavior-
Overall Mr. Jeffers and I have been happy with the behavior of the students in the Upton Middle School student section. Students must either be with you during games or in the Upton section. We allow students to visit the concession stand at quarters and half only. We ask for respectful behavior during the national anthem, and we stress no throwing of items. Thanks for your support!
Quote of the Day-

Have a good day,
