Mandarino Minutes for 11-12-21

 Dear Parents/Guardians,


Thanks for your time yesterday! -

We want to thank the many parents who took part in the virtual conferences!  Remember it is always an option to email, call, etc. a teacher at any time that you think it is necessary!  We would also like to thank our wonderful UPTO for a tasty lunch for the staff!


National Honor Society Tutoring-


If your child plans to go to St. Joseph High School on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after school, they must come to the Upton Office early on those mornings to get an Academic Study Session form.  This must be filled out by a teacher and handed in at the High School media center each time your child attends tutoring.  Busing is provided to the High School for those students going to NHS Tutoring on the Pink Pig bus.

Starting this Wednesday, November 17th we will also offer tutoring after school in the Upton Media Center until 3:45 PM. Please email Mrs. Mulliner or Mrs. Schweir if you have any questions.

Lunch this week-

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.


11/15/21 – Boneless Chicken Wings, French Fries, Side Salad, fruit

11/16/21 – Hot Ham & Cheese, Cheesy Potatoes, fruit choice

11/17/21   - Hot Dog, Baked Chips, Baked Beans, fruit choice

The Hills are Alive... -
On Monday are students and staff will be going to SJHS in the afternoon to view a portion of The Sound of Music musical.  We are hopeful that many students will also want to see the full show next weekend.






Home Football Playoff Game Tonight- 
Please make sure you have a conversation about the home football game with your son/daughter that:
  • They are respectful during the national anthem.
  • They are sitting with you or the Upton Middle School student section.  Please no wandering around the stadium grounds.
  • Dress for the elements.  It will be cold and possibly wet!
Go Bears!  Beat Parma Western!

Have a wonderful Friday and weekend,
Mr. Mandarino
