Parent Teacher Conferences Next Week!
As we enter the second half of our school year, parents and teachers will again have an opportunity to meet to discuss student achievement, growth opportunities, problem solving, or social-emotional concerns related to their student. The staff has set aside Thursday, February 1**, from 4:30 - 7:30 p.m. as a night to connect with parents.
Teachers will be reaching out to parents (with the note sent home - shown above) to schedule meetings on this evening, or parents can contact their child's teacher if they want to schedule a meeting. If your child's teacher did not request a conference, but you would like to request one, just check that box on the form.
We also have a few teachers who will be holding their conferences on a different night:
- 3rd Grade: Mr. Weiner and Mr. Kurmas on Thurs., Feb 8 4:30 - 7:30 p.m.
- 4th Grade: Mrs. Morgan on Thurs., Feb. 8 4:30 - 7:30 p.m.
- Mrs. VanDeWinkle Feb. 1 AND Wednesday, Feb. 7 4:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Our support teachers, Mrs. Lambert and Ms. Wagberg, along with our Social Worker, Mrs. Licata, and Speech teacher, Mrs. Bailey-Crow, will also be available on Feb. 1, along with all of our Specials Teachers (Mrs. Boes, Mr. Chapp, Mr. Andersen, and Mrs. Ramirez) too! No appointment necessary for them!
"Principal For the Day" - Lunches, and Meetings, and McDonalds, Oh my!

Please note – calendar change for 2023-24 school year
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.
