Thank you for an awesome 2022/2023 school year! As we move into the summer season, take this time to unwind, recharge your batteries and most importantly, enjoy time with family and friends.

However, we aren’t quite done with school yet! Next week we start final exams, and our last day of school is Friday, June 9. The school year marathon is coming to an end, don’t stop now!  The final card marking ends on June 9 and report cards will be available on Powerschool on June 16.

As families move and information changes, please be sure to update Powerschool with your new information. This can be done at any time.  Click here to open Powerschool, click on Forms on the left-hand side, then update your new information.  This is also where you will find the yearly forms that are required to be completed at the beginning of each school year.

Be sure to store student laptops in a secure location over the summer, so they don’t get damaged or lost.

Important Reminder: students are not allowed to have door dash or outside food delivered. This is a district policy. 

Junior parents, please see the “Announcements” section in the Titan Voice for important information for your 2024 seniors.  Also see the Junior section for a senior portrait booklet.

2023/2024 Sports - If your student is interested in participating in Stevenson Athletics, both the student athlete AND parent/guardian must complete the Athletic Forms in Student Central Big Teams (www.studentcentral.bigteams.com) BEFORE attending any tryouts.  Athletes will be turned away at Team Tryouts if the forms are not complete.  Athletes/Parents are required to complete the Athletic forms each school year.  A current physical, dated 4/15/23 or later, must be uploaded and ALL forms must be completed, including the Pay to Participate Form (PTP). *PTP payments are not due until your student is assigned to the final team roster.   Please contact your Team Coach or Remi Darroch, Bookkeeper, at remi.darroch@uticak12.org with any questions.

CTE Courses - The vision of Utica Community Schools is to empower our students to transform their lives and their futures. We do this by providing students with the quality options that are designed around their interests and career goals. Central to these options is our Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. If you have questions about CTE courses available through Utica Community Schools, please reach out to your child’s guidance counselor.

Your 8^th – 12^th grade student will shortly come home with the book Build Your Future, The Complete Guide to A Skilled Trades Career. This book was provided through a State of Michigan legislative funding appropriation and with the help of the Skilled to Build Michigan Foundation.

This guidebook examines the 10 biggest myths surrounding the trades as well as outlines earning potential and provides information on what careers in these trades might look like. Please take the time to sit down with your student and review this guidebook, talk about the opportunity in skilled trades, and the value of CTE. Copies are available in the main office and the counseling office.

Given the wide range of our programs, we encourage students to consider coursework that will make them stand out on their college or job applications. CTE is one of those key areas as it benefits every career field.
