PARENTS: We need your help. With the weather getting nicer, we are noticing that some students have been veering away from the UCS dress code. Please have a conversation with your children about appropriate attire for school.

School Appropriate Attire and Appearance Utica Community Schools takes pride in its students and encourages school appropriate attire and developing good hygiene and grooming habits. Student dress and appearance that is neat and clean contributes to a positive school environment. Student dress and appearance should not be disruptive to the educational process.

proper coverage and clothing exposing the shoulders or mid-section are not allowed.

• Knee length shorts and skirts are acceptable. Shoes must be worn.

• Outerwear, such as coats and hats, is not to be worn in school.

• Clothing that promotes illegal substances or drugs, illegal activities, violence, tobacco or alcohol is prohibited.

• Clothing or head coverings worn as group identifiers that promote a disruptive school climate are prohibited.

My name is Adeline Paul, and I am an 11th grader from the Utica Academy for International Studies. I recently won a $10,000 pitch competition sponsored by the Utica-Shelby Kiwanis Club. My project is an event for all Kindergarten-5th grade families interested in getting their student(s) involved in FIRST Robotics, an international, youth organization that teaches students essential STEAM skills through innovation, creativity, and collaboration. Specifically, FIRST Robotics has an FLL (FIRST LEGO League) program that is designed for elementary students to get involved in the world of STEAM, teaching students how to design, build, and code their own robot from LEGOs to compete in competitions based on different annual challenges. It also teaches them fundamental skills such as researching, public speaking, and effective communication to set them up to be successful future leaders and entrepreneurs.

Time & Date: We have two open sessions.

1. Tuesday, May 21st from 6-8 PM

2. Wednesday, May 29th from 6-8 PM

Location: Velocity

6633 18 Mile Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48314
