    Good afternoon Titan community,

    Wow, it’s been a great two weeks at Stevenson! We watched the Class of 2025 take their final walk through the Stevenson hallways, celebrate at Honors Night, attend award ceremonies, enjoy their last sports banquets, and gather for senior sunset and the senior picnic. Graduation tickets were distributed, and more than 550 laptops were collected. We’re incredibly grateful for the support these students have received from their families, teachers, and peers over the past 13 years. It’s been an amazing end to their school year.

     

    I’d like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Dave Ersig on his new role as principal at Kearsley High School. While he will be deeply missed at Stevenson, we wish him all the best in this exciting new chapter. Kearsley is fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented leader.

    All graduates will receive their 4 (or 5 if you were picked from the lotto) graduation tickets after turning in their laptop computers, books, and paying any fines on their account. Doors for the graduation ceremony open at 9:00 p.m. and all seating is general admission, first come/first serve.

     

    Students are getting anxious and excited about the end of the school year. Please remind them that the school day starts at 7:20 a.m. and they are expected to be in their classrooms at this time. Being late and/or having excessive absences (more than 10) could result in lost credit and/or loss of their parking pass privileges.

    *Please encourage your Stevenson student to arrive on time as we attempt to support and encourage good habits moving towards the next school year. 

    IMPORTANT 2025-2026 Announcement

     

    We will have a slight change in our school hours next year.

     

    The change will ensure that we are able to create greater stability and reliability for our transportation services at all grades throughout the school district. The new hours will also ensure that all UCS junior high schools are able to follow the same schedule.

     

    Our new hours next year for all Stevenson High School students, including MADE, will be from 7:15 a.m. to 2:09 p.m.

     

    UCS continues to actively seek new drivers. Walk-in applicants are welcomed every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at our Auxiliary Services Facility, 6600 18 Mile Rd in Sterling Heights. For more information, please visit: https://www.uticak12.org/driverseat.

    Communication Flow Chart: Parents often feel frustrated when trying to communicate with school officials, only to be passed from one person to another without resolution. To help alleviate this, we encourage parents to familiarize themselves with the "Communication Process Flowchart." This chart will help you understand where to start and how to navigate the process when addressing concerns or issues with Stevenson staff.

    Most times, reaching out directly to the staff member who is most involved will provide a quick and thorough response. As you move up the flowchart, the individuals involved may not be as directly connected to the issue, and they might require additional time to research and provide a response. If you do not hear back within two (2) school days, it’s perfectly appropriate to follow up before moving on to the next level in the flowchart.

    We are committed to ensuring that your questions and concerns are addressed in a timely manner. Please start by communicating with the person closest to the issue, and if necessary, escalate the matter step-by-step according to the flowchart. Email is the most effective way to communicate, followed by phone calls. Please see the Titan Voice for the “Communication Process Flowchart.”

    The Titans had their Track & Field Regional finals last Friday and had some great performances. They were the 4x100 regional champs and qualified for the MHSAA DI State Finals and are ranked as the 3rd fastest 4x100 team in the state with a 41.98 in the event. The team consisted of David Keel, John Taylor, Landon Porter, and Ronnie Hill. (I attached a picture of the boys)

     

    Ronnie Hill also qualified for the 400-meter dash and in the process set a new school record of 49.33.

     

    These boys have worked extremely hard and have set 4 new sprint records both individually and as relay teams so please wish them luck so they can bring home the 4x100 state title on 5/31 from East Kentwood High School!

     

    Stevenson Titan Athletes could use your help! We are in the process of redesigning our fieldhouse to create a space for all athletes to work out with state-of-the-art equipment better aligned to their personal athletic goals. While the district and the school are paying for items like HVAC, lighting and flooring, the boosters are raising funds for the equipment. To make this possible we are designing a seasonal program that will highlight our athletes and the businesses that support them!

     

    Sponsorship Opportunities

    Our project aims to attract sponsors for new fieldhouse equipment. We offer five sponsorship levels with key benefits, including advertisement in the sports program. The goal is to create a sustainable program providing ongoing support and ensuring the success of our athletic programs.

     

    Fieldhouse Equipment

    The new state-of-the-art equipment will benefit all athletic programs at Stevenson. The fieldhouse can accommodate multiple teams simultaneously, fostering a sense of pride among coaches, parents, students, and staff.

     

    How You Can Help

    We need everyone's support to ensure this program's success. Here's how you can contribute:

    To meet our goal to pilot our first ever program, we need all sponsor requests in by June 1. Here is a link to a form that will get the process started.

     

    For any questions or feedback, please contact the Athletic Booster Club at

    Stevensonathleticboosterclub@gmail.com  Thank you for your continued support!

     

    ATTENTION – The school day ends at 2:14 p.m. Students must exit the building by 2:30 p.m. Any student who is staying after school must be under the supervision of a staff member, coach, or teacher. If practice is not immediately after school, students are expected to go home and return at their practice time. Also note that students are not allowed in the gyms at any time unless a coach or teacher is present.

     

    No outside purchased food or drinks are permitted, students can get lunch/breakfast from the cafeteria, school store or bring a lunch.

     

    ATTENDANCE When a student has accumulated 11 absences* in any one class over the course of a semester, the student will be notified in a meeting with an assistant/associate principal that they have lost credit in that class and that they are placed on an attendance contract to earn the credit back. There are two parts to a contract. First, the student must pass the class with a D- or higher. Second, the student will show improvement in attendance in ALL classes. Improvement is determined on a sliding scale which allows for 1 absence for every three weeks (rounded up) left in the semester for each class.

     

    A reminder to all students, you are required to always wear your ID badge. Not only for security reasons, but because you need to scan them at lunch!

     

    STUDENT DRESS CODE Students must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the student handbook.

    • Indecent, tattered, or unsafe dress or footwear, or attire that calls undue attention to the wearer or has lettering or symbols that are disrespectful or derogatory are not allowed. • Beach wear, low-cut tops, tank tops, sleeveless tops, muscle shirts, see-through clothing, short skirts or shorts, pajamas, tight clothing without proper coverage and clothing exposing the shoulders or mid-section are not allowed. • Students should not wear clothing with inappropriate advertising like Playboy shirts or similar items. • Hats are not allowed in school unless explicit permission for a medical or religious reason is reached. • Knee length shorts and skirts are acceptable. Shoes must be worn. • Outerwear, such as coats and hats, is not to be worn in school. • Clothing that promotes illegal substances or drugs, illegal activities, violence, tobacco, or alcohol is prohibited. • Clothing or head coverings worn as group identifiers that promote a disruptive school climate are prohibited. • Clothing consistent with religious or cultural beliefs is acceptable. • Jewelry and accessories that may be deemed dangerous are prohibited.

     

    Every Friday is Titan Spirit Day! Please encourage your student to wear anything “Titan” or Red, White, and/or Blue!

     

    With Titan Pride,
