Positivity Project at UMS-
We are so excited that the positivity project is at Upton Middle School this school year! We are incorporating this into our school week several times as we know that relationships and a sense of belonging are a huge part of being successful in school and life.
This week's theme was having an "other people mindset". Next week we will explore "curiosity". The link is password protected, but the passwords is P2. The site is divided into grade level bands and have a video, quote, and 3 questions to ask around the dinner table. Here is the link to tell you more about this project:
One Hour Delay Next Wednesday-

Mask reminders-
Beginning Monday, September 20th, neck gaiters will no longer be considered an approved mask for students. This policy is being implemented at all buildings at SJPS. This is based on a recommendation from the BCHD and research conducted by Fischer, et al. Students arriving wearing a gaiter or neck warmer will be provided a disposable mask.
Please make sure your child arrives at school with a mask daily. We have had a lot of students forgetting masks this week. We appreciate your help with this reminder. Also, please note that gaiter masks are not allowed K-12 in SJPS.
Absences for your child-
If you are calling your child in absent for a day, please leave a detailed message including the reason they will not be in school. If they are sick, please leave details. We have to report all illnesses to the Berrien County Health Department on a weekly basis. Thank you for your cooperation!
