Updates from Upland October 10, 2023
Hello everyone!
It was great to see all who attended Dads and Doughnuts this morning! What a beautiful morning for doughnuts and hot cocoa. Thank you to our PTA for organizing this event!
Just a reminder – tomorrow is a planning day, and there is no school for students Thursday, Friday, and Monday for Fall Break.
End of Term/Report Cards
Tomorrow is the end of our first term of the year. Wow – that was fast! Report cards will be sent home on Friday, October 20. This will be our first time printing report cards from the new Focus system, so we are thanking you in advance for your patience in case we run into any glitches. If we postpone the report card date, we will let you know.
Advanced Learner Testing
Notes went home with third through fifth grade students with information about our annual Advanced Learner testing. Later this fall, it is testing time for our third through fifth grade students (Kindergarten through second graders will be tested later this school year). Any parent interested in having their child participate in the Advanced Learner program – either here at Upland or at the Morningside Advanced Learning program – may have their child tested. If you are interested in having your child tested, please let the classroom teacher know by October 20.
