Dear Parents/Guardians,
NWEA Fall Results coming home this week-
I will send an e-blast out the day that we send home the Fall NWEA results this week. We know with the COVID break in March and Summer break that some of the students scores are not where they had hoped, but we as a staff are optimistic that in the Winter & Spring when we test again that their scores will increase and that they will hit their growth targets by the end of the school year!
No Soda or Energy Drinks -
We do not allow soda or energy drinks at Upton Middle School. Please do not have your daughter/son pack these in their lunches. On rare occasions soda may be allowed for a special event, but it is not allowed most of the time. Thanks for your help with this!
Virtual UPTO Meeting this Thursday-
This Thursday, October 15th at 1:00 PM will be our virtual UPTO meeting. Feel free to join us if your schedule allows. Here is the meeting link if you are interested:

Yearbook message from Mr. Khan -
Hello Upton families!
DON'T MISS OUT! It's the best time to order this year's Yearbook! The price is still just $30 for the book itself, with an option to purchase your student's name stamped on it for an additional $5 more. The price will automatically increase to $45 on December 1 with no remaining options for a name-stamp. (FYI - It will automatically increase again to $48 on March 30 and no more orders will be possible after April 16)
In an effort to help eliminate paper, checks, & cash, we are offering an option by which parents use online payments this year. You can pay via check or money order in this system. The WebStore can also be accessed from our district home page, or any building home page via the button along the left side of that site for online payments.
Link to SJ WebStore:
(The Upton Yearbook is under: Upton Middle School > Yearbook). No extra processing fee is charged to your credit card.
The Herff-Jones website is another option available to purchase this year's Yearbook directly from the online order center:
Thanks in advance for supporting the Yearbook! Mr. Khan
