We want to thank families for adjusting schedules to accommodate the late start day we had last Friday due to the snowy weather. The late start allowed for a safe start for our staff and students. Mr. Ben and our district Grounds Department were able to clear and salt the parking lot, sidewalks, and black top with the extra time. Teachers and staff had time to dig themselves out of their own driveways and plan a safe route to school. Thank you for being flexible – we appreciate it!
Here is the latest news and information from Upland Terrace.
Congratulations to our AWESOME Upland Students!
All our students are doing great things here at Upland, but we love to recognize those who work hard to go above and beyond expectations!
Each month, we recognize students for demonstrating Graduate of Granite characteristics. Our characteristic for the month of October was Respect. Please see our attached list of award winners. Congratulations to all our super respectful students!
Attached, you will also find our winners of the PTA Reflections contest. Congratulations to all students who participated, and to our winners. Thanks to our PTA for organizing this fun contest.
