Happy Holidays From Our Havel Family To Yours

For the Weekend Friday:
Over break you have lots of time to be active! For your break, try a new winter activity like ice skating, playing hockey, snowboarding or skiing for a fun way to be active!
Mindful Monday
We’re back again! After your longer winter break, take a few quiet moments to sit and think about how much you enjoyed the time with your family and friends.
Tell Your Neighbor Tuesday
During winter break I ______. Thinking of your winter break, tell your neighbor your favorite healthy activity you did?
Wacky Fact Wednesday
Our hearts create so much pressure with each pump it could squirt blood 30 feet into the air!
Think About It Thursday
Although it is getting cold we still need to make sure we are staying hydrated and drinking water! Think about this the next time you go to grab a drink.
Please keep an extra pair of dry socks in your child’s backpack. After recess, many students come in with wet feet!

Ready, set, Academic Blitz! Plan early for success.
The Academic Blitz is an opportunity for all UCS families to find out more about the extensive portfolio of opportunities and programs available to students through its schools.
The featured informational sessions are designed for elementary to high school students and help parents develop a plan that best fits their student’s needs. Topics include Advanced Placement opportunities, Specialty Programs and separate sessions on preparing for junior high, high school and college.
The Academic Blitz, created 13 years ago by the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Board, was developed to ensure parents knew of the district’s available secondary services and programs open to all students.
At the event, families can select up to three sessions to attend and visit a series of informative booths. District administrators, building principals and staff are also onsite and available to parents.
Join us for this year’s Academic Blitz scheduled for Thursday, January 9, 2020 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Henry Ford II High School, 11911 Clinton River Road in Sterling Heights.
