Welcome Back-
I hope your family had a wonderful Spring break! It was a great time to get recharged. This last marking period is the quickest of the school year. Please help us out by stressing the importance of working hard until the end of the school year.
Self Care Series-
Over Spring break the resource signs were posted in the bathrooms at Upton Middle School and St. Joseph High School. These were the signs that were highlighted in the SJPS Self-Care Series in February in an email that Mrs. Cardon sent out to the parents in the district. Here is the link to that pdf: https://www.sjschools.org/images/District/SelfCareSeries1.pdf

8th grade M-Step starts on Wednesday with three days of ELA.

Dungeons and Dragons Club this Wednesday-
The Upton Dungeons and Dragons club will end at 4:30 PM this Wednesday, April 11th.
Please be careful in the morning!!!-
I have put this in the blog before, but we really need your help in driving safely during drop-off in the morning. Please use caution, please do not cut out of line, and please keep your speed down. We also ask that you please do not drop your kids off in the middle of Lincoln Avenue or Maiden Lane. When it is dark it is hard to see students darting across the road. Please take a few extra minutes and leave a little earlier if your schedule is tight.
No Late Start this week-
The district does not have a late start this Wednesday, April 11th.
Quote of the week-

Have a great week,
Mr. Mandarino
