🏈💜 Knight Kulture Tailgate Reward! 💜🏈
A HUGE thank-you to Century 21 for partnering with Upson-Lee Middle School today and providing inflatables for our Knight Kulture Tailgate Reward! We appreciate your support in helping us celebrate our students! 🎉
Today’s reward recognizes students who have had NO office referrals since midterm of the first nine weeks. We are proud to celebrate the many Knights who are making positive choices, demonstrating leadership, and contributing to a positive school culture!
Check out our grade-level percentages! 👏
💜 6th Grade: 94.5%
🩶 7th Grade: 91%
💜 8th Grade: 97.5%
These numbers show that the majority of our Knights are making great choices and leading the way! We are proud of our students and continue to encourage every Knight to make positive choices each day.
Thank you again to Century 21 for helping make this day extra special! ⚔️
Every Day Counts. Every Knight Matters.

Our ELA newsletters are designed to give you a clear look at what students are learning in class. Each newsletter includes the main expectations being covered, along with our learning targets, success criteria, and question starters students may see during instruction and assessments.
These newsletters can also be a great resource if you would like to provide your child with a little extra practice at home! You can find free, grade-appropriate informational articles by creating a free account on:
- CommonLit.org
- ReadWorks.org
- Newsela.com
Choose an article that interests your child and use the question starters from the newsletter to practice discussing the text, identifying evidence, explaining ideas, and strengthening reading comprehension.
Thank you for supporting what we are learning in the classroom!
