Academic Blitz
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.

ISM News
In ISM this week we are taking a break from our regular activities to do a lesson from the Building Healthy Communities program (sixth grade will do theirs next week). Our lesson focus this month is to learn about proteins and how important they are for your body. We are learning that our muscles need protein every day to grow and stay strong and allow us to do all the activities we like to do. Students are also learning to make healthy choices and choose lean proteins and save fatty or greasy protein foods for special occasions. Students also do a physical activity during the lesson to demonstrate their knowledge of food from the protein food group.
Please keep an extra pair of dry socks in your child’s backpack. After recess, many students come in with wet feet!
