Beacon Tree Families:
Our staff spent last week revisiting and fostering the relationships we built over the past few months. We also reminded our All-Stars of our expectations here at Beacon Tree. We are asking for our amazing families to further communicate our messages at home. If you could take some time this weekend to talk with your children about the following, we would be so grateful...
What makes an All-Star? Follow our BT5!
1. Being kind - kindness counts - watch our words and actions
2. Being respectful - respect others and property
3. Being responsible - responsible for our actions, our schoolwork, and our belongings
4. Being grateful - a grateful heart is a magnet for miracles
5. Being honest - even when times get tough, tell the truth
We thank you in advance for partnering with us to deliver a message that will foster positive futures and loving hearts.
Looking forward to a wonderful 2024,
Mrs. Lenz

Safety remains a priority in Utica Community Schools.
The State of Michigan has announced that it will hold a presidential primary on Tuesday, February 27th. Our schools remain the centerpiece of the community, and we are proud that many of our school facilities are used to support the voting process. During these elections, school facilities need to be open and easily accessible to allow voters to cast their ballots.
As has been the practice of UCS for past elections, there will be no school on Tuesday, February 27. The cancellation of school maintains our commitment to safety and allows our facilities to be open for community members to cast their ballots.
