Stevenson High School
August 23, 2024 ~ BACK TO SCHOOL MONDAY!!
Principal's Note:
Dear Spartans
A heartfelt Spartan "Thank you" to all those staff, students, and parents who participated in our annual Fall Clean Up last weekend. Your time and efforts are greatly appreciated. We should take pride in our facilities and grounds. Additionally, it was great to see many of our 9th grade and new students in the halls today for our Spartan Walk. We know the transition to a new building and the start of the school year may bring an uncertainty and angst to some. Our team is here to support our students.
We look forward to welcoming all Spartans back to school on Monday, August 26th!
1/2 Day AM 9th Grade – Orientation (7:25 am – 10:35 am)
All 9th grade students and students new to LPS will report to PAC (Performing Arts Center) in the morning at our regular 7:25 AM start time. Breakfast and lunch will be available. Lunch will be served at 10:45 AM.
1/2 Day PM All Students
Following the morning program, all students (9th, 10th, 11th, & 12th graders) will have an abbreviated 1st day of school. Our shortened day will start at 11:25 AM and end at 2:20 PM. Students need to be in their 1st hour by 11:25 AM. Buses will run on a 4-hour delay, so 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students who ride the bus will need to plan accordingly. We are asking all 10th-12th graders to not arrive until 11:00 AM. Students who are enrolled in LCTC courses will need to report to the South Cafeteria during their scheduled LCTC course(s) since these courses will not officially start until Tuesday, August 27th.

Supporting Youth Going Back to School
Dear Parents and Guardians of the Livonia Public Schools School Community,
As the new school year begins, supporting our youth's mental health is more important than ever. The new school year can bring feelings of both anxiety and excitement as students transition into a new grade, perhaps a new school, and are all in turn learning and growing into who they are.
We have provided a Back to School resource packet for parents and teachers who are navigating through this time. Click here to access to the flyer.
By working together, we can create an environment where our children thrive. Remember, Care Solace offers valuable mental health care coordination services to connect you with community-based providers for counseling, therapy, and more.
To access Care Solace:
- Call 888-515-0595: Their multilingual helpline is staffed 24/7/365.
- Visit www.caresolace.com/livonia: Explore mental health providers independently or click "Book Appointment" for personalized assistance.
By joining hands as a community, we can provide a nurturing environment that supports the mental health and well-being of our youth. Let's prioritize their emotional growth and create a brighter future together.
Thank you for being dedicated parents in the Livonia Public Schools community. Your commitment to our youth is truly commendable.

STUDENT PARKING 2024-2025
All student parking applications are taken online. The cost of a parking permit is $52, payable only through School Pay. Seniors must fill out the information form and pay online by Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
- Senior Information Form 2024-25 (you MUST your school email address to complete the form)
- Pay online @ School Pay
Students must be passing four (4) classes to remain eligible to park on campus. Grade checks may take place at the end of each semester. If a student is not passing four (4) classes at that point, parking on campus may be suspended. The administration reserves the right to make final determinations, and there will be no refund for the cost of the permit.
Students may not transfer ownership of a parking pass to another student.
Students may only park in student-designated parking.
STEVENSON PARKING INFORMATION FOR JUNIORS – LOTTERY
All student parking applications are offered online. The goal of the Stevenson administration is to provide a safe and convenient parking situation for as many students as possible.
No student, regardless of involvement in school activities, is guaranteed a parking permit. Parking is a privilege; an equitable system is in place to award the limited number of parking permits.
- Fill out the Junior Application Form by midnight on Wednesday, September 4, 2024. (Please use your school email address when filling out the application.)
- Juniors selected will receive an email confirmation on Monday, September 9, 2024, with the directions regarding payment.
- Parking Permits will be distributed on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 through Friday, September 13, 2024.
Bus Transportation Info for 2024-2025
If your child will require (and is eligible for) bus transportation for the 2024-25 school year, you will need to make the request by logging into in ParentConnect. This process is most easily completed on a computer (rather than a hand-held device). See instructions below.
- Log into ParentConnect
- Click on the red Fall Enrollment Confirmation message near the upper right corner of your screen
- Click on the Update Information button (next to the "Updates Incomplete" message in red)
- Click on Transportation
- Select Yes from the mini-dropdown menu in the center of the screen
- Click on Updates Complete
- Click on Return to main menu at the top left
If your child has transportation via an IEP, you do not need to register, as those arrangements will be made separately for your child. If you are unsure if your child is eligible for transportation, please email lpsbus@livoniapublicshools.org.
IMPORTANT! Update Your Student's Emergency Information
In recent years, LPS initiated an online process that replaces the traditional practice of sending paper packets and “pink emergency cards” home for a parent's signature. The electronic completion of our Fall Enrollment Confirmation is an annual start-of-the-year requirement for each child currently enrolled in an LPS school. This must be completed for new and returning students.
If you have not already done so, please access the electronic Fall Enrollment Confirmation through Parent Connect and update your student's information by CLICKING HERE. (Parents must confirm all emergency contact information, even if all contacts remain unchanged.)
PLEASE USE A COMPUTER (NOT A CELL PHONE) TO COMPLETE THE FALL ENROLLMENT CONFIRMATION.
The Fall Enrollment Confirmation tab (in red, located in the upper right corner of screen) on Parent Connect has been activated and will allow parents/guardians to directly edit items such as emergency contact information and student health information. Other requirements include parental confirmations of items such as internet usage rules, medical authorization, and a student handbook review.
If you have trouble accessing your Parent Connect account, please send an email with your name, your student’s name and the issue that you are having to parentconnect@livoniapublicschools.org.
Medication at School
A student cannot be in possession of, or take prescription drugs or non-prescription medication, such as Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Tums etc. at school or during school.
If it is necessary for a student to take medication during the school day (prescription or non-prescription), a Medication Authorization form must be completed and signed by both the doctor and the parent. All medication will be kept in the Main Office for the student’s use and dispensed by office staff.
We encourage you to bring your student's Medication Authorizations (along with their medication) and Health Care Plans before school starts. Our office is open from 7:30-3:00pm daily.
CLICK HERE to download a blank Medication Authorization.
The application link for the federal assistance program has been updated to the following: Horizon Free & Reduced Apps (horizonsolana.com)
Families who may qualify for the federal assistance program still need to fill out the application, even though all school meals are free this year. Filling out the application may provide several other financial assistance benefits for your family, including reduced fees for Pay to Participate, enrollment in the Summer EBT program and other beneficial discounts. This will also assist the district in receiving reimbursements for meals served.
If your family normally qualifies for "free or reduced" school meals, we encourage you to fill out the application for this school year.
