Dear Parents: The scheduling process for the 2009-2010 school year has begun. Utica and Eisenhower High School counselors have visited and presented scheduling information to our 9th Grade Students. Utica High School announced their Curriculum Night to our students as February 3 and a notice was also sent home with our students. Eisenhower High School is holding a Curriculum Night on February 9, 2009. Schedules for both high schools will be collected on February 11, 2009. The Shelby Counselors will begin speaking to classes the second week of February, both current 7th and 8th grade students, about their opportunities in 8th and 9th grades. The Curriculum Night for parents of 7th and 8th graders is March 4, 6 – 6:45 pm for 8th grade parents and 7 – 7:45 pm for 7th grade parents. No students please. The 8th grade students have also heard presentations from the specialized programs, International Baccalaureate, CSI (Center for Science and Industry) and MST (Math, Science and Technology). The applications for the CSI and IB programs can be found online at http://csi.uticak12.org and http://uais.uticak12.org. There is a deadline for applications so please apply soon. Students interested in MST must have taken Algebra I this year in eighth grade and also take a scheduled test given by MST. This information is in the packet all Algebra I students received from their Algebra I teachers. Accelerated classes are available for Shelby students in all grades and in all core academic areas. We will be offering a new choice to challenge our 9th grade students: AP World History. It will be taught by Mr. Brian Barbuto. If students successfully master this course and take the AP test at the end and pass with a score of 3, 4 or 5, colleges will accept that as college credit. How exciting for our students!! And, money savings for parents!!! Shelby Counselors will then turn their attention to visitations at all our feeder elementary schools during the last week of February and the first week of March. All parents of sixth grade students are invited to 7th grade Curriculum Night on March 10. From 6:30 – 7 pm you may have a self guided tour of the building and some classrooms. The meeting will begin promptly at 7 pm. Our space is very limited so we ask that ONLY adults attend…no students, please. 6th grade students will have the opportunity in May to visit Shelby and learn more about their new school. We will also provide an Orientation for 6th grade students before school begins in September. The EXPLORE test results have been returned to the school. This is a two part test that includes a career interest section and an academic assessment and is taken by all 9th graders. Mrs. Klann will visit freshman classes to explain the results to the students. The individual scores will then go home with your student. Please look for these between February 9 and February 13. Shelby is anxiously awaiting the MEAP scores from the assessment given in October. When we receive these results we will be sending them home with the children. We are confident that our students again performed well on this state test. Teachers will be using this data to determine strategies to use so they can better prepare the children of today for college completion in the future. Sincerely,

Band s pectacular Shelby students had an opportunity to represent our band program and encourage elementary students to enroll in the Shelby Junior High band. Jennifer Jurcak, Danielle Nevorski, Justin Macks, Evan Ericson, and Vincent Kethman all worked very hard preparing a song from High School Musical to perform at the “Join the Jr. High Band” concert at Eisenhower H.S. that was hosted by the elementary school band director Mr. Baas. Thanks to each of these awesome band students for their hard work and wonderful performance. There were over three hundred 6th graders that performed, and we hope that all of them will sign-up for band at the Junior High when scheduling starts in February.

Then consider attending the annual Career Focus Luncheon, set for Wednesday or Thursday, May 6 and May 7 at Penna’s of Sterling Heights. For more than 20 years, this increasingly “must attend” event has impacted the lives of literally thousands of young adults. As a participant, you will share your professional expertise with a table of sixth graders from the Utica Community Schools. In turn, these students, on the brink of adulthood, will talk to their role models for a day about their hopes and aspirations. In addition to a great meal and rewarding conversation, a key aspect of the event is its keynote speaker. Over the years, speakers have included notables from the fields of politics, sports, business and entertainment, and the 2009 event will be no exception. The event is co-sponsored by the UCS Foundation for Educational Excellence, the Advisor & Source Newspapers and the Sterling Heights Area Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the Utica Community Schools. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Foundation's work on behalf of students. Since its establishment in 1986, the Foundation has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for students in the Utica Community Schools. Its Instructional Grant program offers unique educational experiences to support regular classroom programming. Scholarships provide students funds for college and technical school training. Summer literacy programs for elementary school students and after-school academic support for secondary students help them achieve.
