Mandarino Minutes for 9-23-22

 Dear UMS Families,


Picture Retake Day-

Picture retake day is Wednesday, September 28th in the morning.  If you missed Start Up Day in August or want your photos retaken, plan on getting your school photo taken on Wednesday. If you want a retake, please bring in your photo packet.





Spirit Wear Orders-


Reminder: Time is running out to purchase Bear Wear! Place your orders online at https://ums2022fall.orderpromos.com/. Deadline is 11:59 PM on Sunday, September 25th. 



Appointments during the school day-

When you plan to pick your child up for an appointment during the school day, please contact the office by 9am or send your child in with a note to give to the office in the morning.  This way we can get your child a pass to come to the office and they will be waiting for you.  Thank you for your cooperation.




Medication Reminder-


If your child has an allergy or condition that warrants an Epi Pen, inhaler, or prescription medication please contact the office immediately for an Authorization to Administer Medication form.  This form needs to be filled out by your doctor.  Once we have that completed form then we can keep the medication in the office.




Tutoring to Begin next week and... -


Tutoring at SJHS Tuesdays and Thursdays will begin next Tuesday, September 27th from 3-4pm.  Students must request an Academic Study Session slip from the Upton office before noon each Tuesday/Thursday that they plan to attend tutoring.  The slip then needs to be filled out by the teacher and returned to the office before a bus pass is given for tutoring.  If a student does not have a bus pass from the office, they will not be allowed to take the bus over to the high school.  


Starting Wednesday, October 5th the National Honor Society will begin coming to Upton every Wednesday from 3-4pm to tutor students.  This will be located in our Media Center.  Students do not need a pass to attend.
