🐾🎉 End-of-Year Incentive Day at the Point! 🎉🐾

What a great way to celebrate an amazing year! Students who earned zero referrals all year, were recognized as Panther of the Month, or were selected as Most Improved Student by their teachers enjoyed a special day at the Point. From checking out the new fountain and playing co****le to simply relaxing and spending time with friends, our students had a well-deserved day of fun.

To top off an awesome day, students enjoyed a sweet ice cream treat when they returned to school! 🍦

We are incredibly proud of their hard work, positive choices, and dedication throughout the school year. Congratulations to all of our incentive winners, and keep up the great work, Panthers! 💙💚

“They said, ‘Can we get a close-up?’ 📸🍽️ We understood the assignment. 😎

On the last day of school, our 6/7 lunch crew made sure their meals got the spotlight they deserved! Since everyone’s been rating everything a 6/7 lately, we’re giving today’s lunch a 6/7… because it was gone before we could finish taking pictures! 😂

Thanks for another great school year, Panthers! Have an amazing summer! ☀️🐾 ”

👏 A HUGE thank you to for their incredible generosity in donating ALL of the prizes for our incentive raffle. Your support helped us recognize and reward students who worked hard to improve academically and behaviorally, and we are truly grateful for your investment in our students’ success.

Congratulations again to all of our winners and to every student who earned a chance to be entered into the raffle. Keep up the great work!

☀️ Summer is almost here, and many teens are beginning their search for summer jobs! ☀️

If your student is between the ages of 14–17, they will need a work permit before starting employment.

📋 Be sure to contact or visit your local school district to learn about the requirements and process for obtaining a work permit.

A work permit is an important step toward gaining valuable work experience, building responsibility, and preparing for future career opportunities.

💼 Start the process early so your teen is ready for summer employment!

🏴‍☠️⚾ Way to go, Pirates!

Our amazing middle school students were rewarded for their outstanding behavior with a trip to cheer on the Pittsburgh Pirates on May 14th! 🎉

It was a fantastic day filled with fun, food, and baseball — and our students earned every bit of it! We are so proud of the effort and character they show every single day. Keep it up! 💛🖤

⚾ Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!

🚴‍♂️ Big News at UP!

We are thrilled to announce that thanks to a generous grant from Dick’s Sporting Goods’ Sports Matter program, we are launching a Bike Club — along with other exciting sports initiatives — starting the 2026-2027 school year!
