Dear Parents/Guardians,
Schedule for next week -
Food opportunity pickup -
SJPS will offer meal pick up opportunities on Monday evenings from 5-6 PM for the students when we are remote. Meal pick up is in the back of St. Joseph High School off of Lakeview Avenue. Please email me Mrs. Youngquist (dyoungquist@sjschools.org) to reserve their meal packages.
Tutoring opportunity -
Does your daughter/son need a little extra academic support? Please use this form that I have linked to get some National Honor Society tutoring support.
Virtual Book Fair -
Please take a few minutes to follow the link below to the UMS virtual book fair. The book fair is used to bring more titles to our collection at Upton. Thanks for considering this!
Technical difficulties ? -
If your son/daughter's device is not working properly, please send an email to support@sjschools.org. Our IT department will be in touch to assist.
From the Guidance Department -
Guidance News
With our move to remote learning, please remember we are still here to support our students and families.
On Wednesday 11/18 and again on Monday 11/30, we are offering a fun activity for the students to connect with one another outside of the classroom. We are sharing these opportunities with students through their school email and grade level google classrooms. These ‘fun activities’ are optional, but we may have some required SEL lessons in the future.
Please remember to check our family google site regularly for updates.

1st Tee Awesome commercial -
7th grader, Mya Miller, and 8th grader, Jason Wright, recently were a part of a commercial for 1st Tee. If you enjoyed the Michael Jordan & Larry Bird commercial of the early 90's, I know you will enjoy this!
