Mandarino Minutes for 9-10-21

 Dear Parents/Guardians,

Upton Back to School Night-

Who:   Upton Parents & Guardians ONLY (No students/children at this event)

What:  Upton Back to School Night

When: Next Tuesday, September 14th from 6:30 PM-8:00 PM (Doors will open around 6:10 PM)

Where:  Upton Middle School

How:  You will follow your daughter/son's schedule and visit each teacher for 11 minutes each.  You can get the schedule off of PowerSchool or your son/daughter can write it down for you.  We will not be printing schedules for this.

We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday evening!  If you choose to attend, remember that a mask is mandatory.  Parking will be crowded, so please be careful in the parking lot.

Parking Lot reminders-

In the morning please do not park in the front lot and drop kids off unless you have office business to attend to or a student needs additional time to prepare - we would then request that the adult accompanies their student to the sidewalk. It is unsafe to have them crossing through the drop off traffic. We have timed the cycle and it takes 3 to 4 minutes on average. Please be patient and wait in line.  Thank you!

Late Start Wednesdays-

Begin this Wednesday, 9/15.  School begins at 8:45am.  Buses run on an hour delay. Breakfast is available starting at 8:15 AM when the doors open.

Football Game Expectations-

A middle school student section is at the North end of the stadium. We have the following rules if your son/daughter decides to join the section.

• No standing on the bleachers
• No running around the stadium
• No throwing of objects

We want the students to enjoy the game and each other in a safe & respectful environment.

News from the Lunch Room-

We would like to remind everyone that breakfast and lunch are FREE again this year to every St Joseph

Public School student. Please try to remember to preorder your student’s lunches when they are going

to participate in lunch. This helps speed up the morning lunch count process. You will be allowed to

order the Friday before the next week using www.sendmoneytoschool.com.

Due to the supply chain issues we are having with our vendors and food outages we will be providing a

one week menu on our website and Principal blogs on the Friday before the next week. This will

alleviate us having to make constant changes to a monthly menu and keep you better informed.

9/13/21 – Cheeseburger, French Fries, fruit choice and milk.

9/14/21 –Ham & Cheese Calzone, Broccoli, fruit choice and milk

9/15/21 – Nachos, Refried Beans, fruit choice and milk

9/16/21 – Chicken Patty, Sweet Potato Fries, fruit choice and milk

9/17/21 - French Bread Pizza, vegetable sticks, fruit choice and milk

Sandwiches and Salads will also be available daily as an entree. 

Ala carte items will be available for

purchase soon!

Quote of the week-

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend,

Mr. Mandarino
