We realize that birthdays are special and that students enjoy bringing a shared treat for their class. We have not shared food as birthday treats for several years now. We do allow a classroom game or book if you would like to donate, and some students have brought pencils and/or special erasers to share. There is no expectation for them to bring anything, but we do ask that no food items are sent to be shared. Thank you!

Please share the attached flyer (6A) and message below in your next parent communication to inform them of available vegetarian options.

Did you know that we offer vegetarian options every day? Please go to https://uticak12.nutrislice.com for menu offerings.

Walk-In Interviews

School Bus Drivers
March 8
March 15
March 22

Our UCS bus drivers make a difference every day in the lives of our students. UCS drivers are the first person students see every morning and the last at the end of the day. We are looking for individuals who want to help drive the future for our students.

If you are interested in becoming a bus driver, walk in interviews are being held on March 8, 15 and 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at our UCS Auxiliary Services Department, 6600 18 Mile Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48314.

This is a great opportunity for individuals who are looking for a full or part time job that follows the school calendar. For more information, please visit https://www.uticak12.org/driverseat.

What? Once a month, classes will buddy up with another classroom. The teachers will co teach an age appropriate lesson concerning social skills and/or following school rules and procedures.

When? Feb. 8, March 1, April 12, May 1.

Why? This practice supports our Positive Behavior Intervention System (PBIS), our use of appropriate social skills and brings us closer as a school community. It introduces students to other peers and other adults/teachers in the building.
