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.
FINAL SALE DATE - MONDAY, FEB. 12TH!
HAPPY HEART GRAM SALES
Dear Ebeling Parents and Students,
Happy Heart-Grams are back! The Ebeling Sixth Grade Class is trying to make Valentine’s Day a little nicer for the people here at Ebeling while raising money to contract buses for their field trip to Camp this Spring. The “Happy Heart Gram” program will allow students to purchase grams for $1.00 each and have them delivered on Valentine’s Day to another student or staff member at Ebeling. Each gram will be accompanied by a Valentine treat (Charms heart-shaped sucker). The students may purchase these special messages by returning them (with $1.00 for each one) Thursday, February 1st through Monday, February 12th. Sixth graders will visit each classroom to collect completed grams and will sell additional grams at that time. All proceeds from the sale will go towards the cost of busing for Camp.
A heart gram is attached below if you wish to download the form. If you are interested, please fill out the top portion with who the gram is going to, first and last name. Also include their classroom teachers’ name and return it to school (with $1.00) in an envelope to the attention of 6th grade Happy Heart Gram Sale. If you need additional grams, extras are in the front office and are being sold daily in classrooms.
Thank you and Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your family!

Great Start Readiness Program
GSRP pre-application for the 2024-2025 school year opened on December 11, 2023. The Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is a FREE preschool program funded through the Michigan Department of Education. Interested families can call the GSRP office at 586-797-6930 or email at gsrp@uticak12.org. See flyer below. For the 2024-2025 school year, children must be four years old on or before September 1, 2024.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
If your child is going to be absent call 586-797-4799 and leave a message on the 24-hour automated absence line. Any absences not called in to the office will be marked as 'unexcused' on student attendance records.
Your child will be excused from class for illness, bereavement, recognized religious holidays and medical or dental treatment that cannot be scheduled after school or on weekends.
Your child is responsible for makeup work. Homework requests may be made for an absence of two or more days in the case of both excused and pre-excused absences. Homework requests require 24 hours to process.
VACATION POLICY
Absence for family travel during scheduled school days is discouraged.
However, should family travel be necessary, parents must submit a written request to the Ebeling office for Principal approval of a pre-excused absence at least one week in advance. Vacation days in excess of 10 days per semester will not be approved.
Arrangements to complete classroom assignments can be made with the teacher.
You can arrange for home study through the school principal should your child be absent from school for an extended period due to physical disability or illness.
LATE ARRIVAL
If a student arrives late to school, the parent must accompany the student into the office, and the student must be signed in before he or she can go to class.
Truancy officials will be contacted in the event of a student having excessive tardies or absences.
BREAKFAST PROCEDURE
If your child wishes to eat breakfast at school, they must order breakfast the day before when asked by their classroom teacher. When entering school for breakfast, students must enter through the main doors (either Door 1, or Door 9) and proceed directly to the gym/cafeteria. Doors will open at 8:05, and breakfast will be available to eat until 8:25.
