Why Do I Have to Sign My Child in to School After 8:30?
- Class begins at 8:25
- Teachers begin taking attendance at 8:25, and many are finished by/before 8:30
- Your child(ren) will be marked absent unless signed in at the office, causing distress when the phone call home reporting your child absent is made.
- The adult at Door #9 begins her in-class assignment at 8:30; staying at Door #9 for latecomers makes her late for her classroom assignment.
Staff Holiday Fun Donations - Can You Help?

Are you able to help spread some holiday cheer with the Ebeling staff? We have a few things planned in the upcoming days leading to the break, including a popcorn bar, hot chocolate, and holiday trivia contests among other things. A Sign Up Genius has been created for donations of items needed. If you are willing to be one of our helpful elves, items listed should be turned in to the office by the date specified. Thank you in advance! If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Bailey at denise.bailey@uticak12.org
TOYS FOR TOTS COLLECTION WAS A BIG SUCCESS
The Marines stopped by Ebeling for a toy pick up! They were VERY impressed! Thanks to the generosity from our school, many children will be wearing smiles this holiday season! Thank you so very much for all the donations to the Ebeling 2023 Toys For Tots Drive. Happy Holidays to all!
Children Participate in Outdoor Activities
Daily outdoor recesses are a valuable factor in promoting healthy classroom conditions. Children are expected to participate in recess activities so they should wear adequate outdoor clothing now that the weather is getting colder. This includes boots, hats and mittens. It is important that children learn to be prepared for changes in Michigan weather. All students will remain indoors for supervised recess if the weather is inclement. Factors used to determine indoor recess include rain, wind chill and playground conditions.
LOOKING FOR FREE TIME FOR HOLIDAY SHOPPING?
The Henry Ford II Hight School DECA Club is sponsoring a fundraising event on December 14th. "Holiday Helpers" will keep your children busy with games, cookie decorating, pizza, and a movie allowing time for you to go holiday shopping or just taking a break!
Funds raised will be used to offset the cost of state and international conferences for the DECA Club of Henry Ford II High School. Scan the QR code above to register.

ATTENDANCE POLICY
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 semester 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.
Great Start Readiness Program
GSRP pre-application for the 2024-2025 school year opens on December 11, 2023. The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is a FREE preschool program funded through the Michigan Department of Education. Interested families can call the GSRP office at 586-797-6930 or email at gsrp@uticak12.org. See flyer below. For the 2024-2025 school year, children must be four years old on or before September 1, 2024.
BREAKFAST PROCEDURE
If your child wishes to eat breakfast at school, they must order breakfast the day before when asked by their classroom teacher. When entering school for breakfast, students must enter through the main doors (either Door 1, or Door 9) and proceed directly to the gym/cafeteria. Doors will open at 8:05, and breakfast will be available to eat until 8:25.
