Last week, the district was informed by the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) that the funding for 21CCLC programs across the state and country has been held up at the Federal Office of Management and Budget (OMB). This is the grant that the district utilizes to fund Bobcat Adventures (after school, Fridays, and Summer School) programs and to fund two additional days at the preschool. We have been directed by the WDE to not plan any 21CCLC-funded activities for the next school year unless we hear otherwise. Therefore, please know that at this time, we are planning on ending all 21CCLC services at the end of August unless we receive notice that the funding has been released and awarded to our district. We will provide updates if we receive additional information from the WDE.
On a positive note, we have limited funds remaining from the previous grant that can’t be carried over to next year, to potentially offer some additional summer academic/enrichment activities for our elementary students. As we finalize these plans, we will share information with all of our families.

For the second consecutive year, Upton FBLA placed 5th NATIONALLY! This comes after receiving the highest point total of all Wyoming schools. Congratulations to Mrs. Ludemann and company for consistently being one of the premier FBLA programs, not just in Wyoming, but nationwide!
