Dear Parents/Guardians,
Testing is completed! -
With the exception of make-up testing our 6th-8th graders are done with M-Step and NWEA testing for the 2021-2022 school year. Results of the NWEA tests will be sent home later in the school year and we will alert you when they are coming home. M-Step results are returned from the Michigan Department of Education. We appreciated you encouraging your son/daughter to do their best!

“Money for Mattox” fundraiser-
Mattox Williams is a freshman at St. Joseph High School who is currently battling cancer. Mattox has a great personality, attitude, and is all-around a wonderful young man. We are having an advisory/homeroom competition to see which class can collect the most money. The winning class (the one who raises the most money) will receive a pizza or donut party. We are running the competition starting May 9th through May 27. All the money collected will go to Mattox and his family.
Seussical Jr. May 14th at Upton-
Cinco de Mayo, May 5th-
In the US, Mexican-Americans started observing Cinco de Mayo during the Civil War as a way to celebrate their heritage.
