ATTENDANCE - 586-797-1999 - A parent must call the attendance line at 586-797-1999 if your student will be absent, tardy or will have an early dismissal. The attendance desk will enter the attendance in Powerschool by the end of the school day. For early dismissals, the student will be written an early dismissal pass that they can pick up from the attendance desk. DO NOT call the main office for attendance.
PARKING PERMITS - Mrs. Bartold is accepting parking permit applications from seniors. The permits are $50. You can find the Parking Permit Application on the Stevenson website: Stevenson High School under Parent Quick Links. Please print it and bring copies of all required documents. *Junior parking permits will be available for purchase starting September 9 and will be first come, first served, based on availability and eligibility. PARKING is NOT allowed by students and/or parents in the Court House/City Center parking lot or along Dodge Park Road. Dropping off students in this area is also not allowed.
We will continue the Attendance Program that began at the end of last school year. Parking permits are dependent on attendance. Students who have accumulated 5 or more tardies and/or Unexcused absences, will not receive their parking permit for the 1st five weeks of the school year (October 1st 2024). At that point, with responsible attendance, parking will be reevaluated for the school year. In addition, outstanding fees must be paid in full to be eligible for a parking permit. (Contact Remi Darroch, Bookkeeper, at remi.darroch@uticak12.org, 586-797-1903 for questions about your students fines.)
Reminder that students are expected to be in school on time. Parking Permits may be suspended for the following reasons:
❖ Excessive unexcused absences or tardies
❖ Careless or reckless driving
❖ Persistent disciplinary issues
PARKING is NOT allowed by students and/or parents in the Court House/City Center parking lot. Dropping off students in this area is also not allowed.
