Good afternoon Titan community,

Thank you for an awesome 2024/2025 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.

Congratulations to our Class of 2025 seniors! We are incredibly proud of all that you have accomplished and the dedication you've shown throughout your journey. As you turn the page to this exciting new chapter, know that your hard work, resilience, and spirit have left a lasting mark on our school community. We can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll do next—your future is bright!

Final exams begin next week, and our last day of school is Wednesday, June 11. We’re in the final stretch of this school year marathon—don’t stop now! The final card marking also ends on June 11, and report cards will be available in PowerSchool on June 18.

If your family is moving or any contact information has changed, please update it in PowerSchool. This can be done at any time. Simply click here to open PowerSchool, select Forms on the left-hand side, and update your information. This is also where you’ll complete the yearly forms required at the start of each school year.

Finally, please remember to store student laptops in a safe, secure place over the summer to avoid any damage or loss.

Have a restful and enjoyable summer!

Final Exam Schedule:

2025/2026 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 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 4/15/25 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.

2025-2026 Calendar Update - Many families and staff members have been inquiring about the first day of the 2025-26 school year. By law, key dates included in school district calendars are subject to collective bargaining.

The above information has been added to our district website.

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.

Congratulations Titans! The boys had the Track and Field State Finals on 5/31 and placed 4^th in Division I and became All-State. They had some amazing accomplishments this year both individually and as a team. The All-State 4x100 relay team consisted of (Landon Porter, David Keel, Ronnie Hill, and John Taylor).

As a team, we are one of 20 teams in Michigan history that has gone under 42 seconds for the 4x100 relay in which we ran 41.98 seconds (school record) and the first relay team to go All-State since 1997.

Individually, Ronnie Hill now is the school record holder in the 400 meter in which he ran 49.33, 200 meter in which he ran 21.97, the 4x100, and 4x200 relays.

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.”

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
