UPCS Middle School Academic Expectations

Please see syllabus and resources for families/students below. For Math we are currently using Amplify DESMOS Math, ST Math and Khan Academy. For Science we are currently using STEMscopes. Google Classroom and Classlink are key to student success and students are accessing these on a daily basis throughout the school day to all other platforms. Student Connect/Parent Connect is vital to staying on track of assignments and grades. If you do not have access to the parent side, your child will be able to access their portals as a student, but you can also reach out to the front office for more information on your login.
