Career Day-
We had a very successful career day at Upton Middle School. We want to thank you if you were one of our presenters. Our kids came dressed like they were interviewing for their dream job, and they had a great time interacting with four different presenters. The sessions I sat in were really well done and the students were so engaged. A special thanks to our guidance department who worked so hard to make this day run smoothly!
Parent-Teacher Conferences-
Thanks for your attendance at parent-teacher conferences last Thursday afternoon/evening! We had a higher turnout this year than last year. I hope that you had a chance to get a quick meeting in with each teacher. If more time is needed, you can always contact the teacher for additional one on one time. We would also like to thank the awesome UPTO for the delicious dinner between afternoon and evening conferences.
