"GO" time-
"GO" (Growth Opportunity) time will begin this week at UMS and SJHS. This Thursday teachers, staff, and students at Upton will be trying something for the very first time! Students can
...get help from a teacher without having to come into school early or stay late.
...have another chance to understand difficult homework.
...learn how to organize better.
... have the opportunity to retake a quiz or test
...have fun playing educational games and activities with teachers
...enjoy more time with art, computers, woods or metals, cooking, or playing activities in PE
...just have some extra time to read that novel you’ve been trying to finish?
GO Time stands for Growth Opportunity Time which means that students will have the opportunity to grow in a subject that may be difficult OR be able to learn something completely new. Classes will meet for 54 minutes, instead of the normal 60 minutes on those dates. Stay tuned to hear more about this exciting opportunity!
