Just before Thanksgiving, each sixth grader received a T-shirt with a logo in remembrance of their friend and classmate, Anthony. Through the generous donation from the Jarbou and Hakeem families and with artwork designed by Mrs. Lee, the T-shirts enable the students to carry Anthony's memory with them and spread his message of kindness to others.

Our collection of canned goods has ended, and I am happy to report that as a school community, we collected over 2,300 food items for local needy families! What a fantastic blessing to those families receiving help through your generosity.

We still have opportunities for the donation of other items:

• New unwrapped toys are being collected for the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive, which ends this Tuesday, December 13th.
• New hats, gloves, scarves and mittens are being collected and donated through the Macomb Optimist' Club for needy families through Monday, December 12th.

We can see by the generous donations pouring in that our Ebeling Community is committed to helping others through kind acts and charitable giving!

The UCS Literacy Department is happy to continue our Family Literacy Connection newsletter for the 2022-2023 school year. In this quarterly communication (link below) you will find book recommendations, literacy tips, fun activities designed for the family, and more. We are partners in the educational success of your children. Your involvement matters!

We believe outdoor recess is an important and valuable part of our students’ day. Fresh air, exercise and time spent outside afford students a break from the structure of the classroom. With the ever changing Michigan weather, it is imperative that your child is dressed appropriately and is prepared to play outside. During the winter season, every child should have a jacket, gloves or mittens, and a hat. If there is snow on the ground, snow boots and pants are necessary. If students do not have snow boots they will be limited to the blacktop area on the playground. Don't forget to label all your child's items! Thank you!

If your child is going to be absent call 586-797-4799 and leave a message on the 24-hour automated absence line. Any absences not called in to the office will be marked as 'unexcused' on student attendance records.

Your child will be excused from class for illness, bereavement, recognized religious holidays and medical or dental treatment that cannot be scheduled after school or on weekends.

Your child is responsible for makeup work. Homework requests may be made for an absence of two or more days in the case of both excused and pre-excused absences. Homework requests require 24 hours to process.

VACATION POLICY

Absence for family travel during scheduled school days is discouraged.

However, should family travel be necessary, parents must submit a written request to the Ebeling office for Principal approval of a pre-excused absence at least one week in advance. Vacation days in excess of 10 days per school year will not be approved.

Arrangements to complete classroom assignments can be made with the teacher.

You can arrange for home study through the school principal should your child be absent from school for an extended period due to physical disability or illness.

LATE ARRIVAL

If a student arrives late to school, the parent must accompany the student into the office, and the student must be signed in before he or she can go to class.

Truancy officials will be contacted in the event of a student having excessive tardies or absences.

We are asking for your assistance to ensure that our security procedures during the school day are effective. As many of you know, our school has a security camera, intercom, and buzzer at the front main entrance for use during the school day. To help us assist you when you would like to enter the school:

1. Please press the buzzer to speak with someone in the office

2. You will be asked to state your name and reason for visiting

3. You will be asked to show your photo ID into the security camera above the outside door

4. Office staff will then be able to buzz you inside

5. All visitors must immediately register in the office

In addition, we are asking you to not let any visitors in the door as you enter (and they come up behind you) or as you exit the building.

The teachers and staff are committed to student safety and security and we would like to thank you for your assistance in helping keep the students of Ebeling safe.
