Without a doubt, it has been a busy and exciting start to the 2019-20 school year. The new middle school is open, as is the renovated 4th & 5th Grade Center. We welcomed students and families at preview nights for both new buildings before the start of school. There were a number of other back-to-school events that were held throughout the district, including 9th grade orientation at the high school, Marlborough's Popsicles on the Playground, a comprehensive back-to-school night at Hereford and more.

Students, families, faculty and staff enjoyed a fun, new initiative this year...submitting their traditional, smiling first day of school photos, and tagging them with #UPSDFirstDay2019 and #Proud2BeUPSD on social media. Some used the back-to-school signs provided by the district, and others used their own signs and poses.
