The current elementary building was built in 1992 and houses students of Weston County School District #7 from kindergarten to 8th grade. The building is also home to the LaVerne Boal Auditorium which is used for all of the district’s fine arts performances and system wide assemblies.The mission of the school is “We are a student centered community striving for educational excellence”. Upton Elementary/Middle School is operating as a Professional Learning Community. As a PLC the staff collaborates to provide a focused and meaningful educational program for our students. Teams of teachers meet to write and revise essential skills for reading, writing and mathematics. Assessment results are utilized to instructionally group students and plan daily interventions to improve student achievement.
