WALK-IN INTERVIEWS: SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS
Our UCS bus drivers make a difference every day in the lives of our students. UCS drivers are the first person students see every morning and the last at the end of the day. We are looking for individuals who want to help drive the future for our students.
If you are interested in becoming a bus driver, walk in interviews are being held on March 8, 15 and 11 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at our UCS Auxiliary Services Department, 6600 18 Mile Rd, Sterling Heights, MI 48314.
This is a great opportunity for individuals who are looking for a full or part time job that follows the school calendar. For more information, please visit https://www.uticak12.org/driverseat.
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 school year 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.
PARKING AND PICKUP AT DISMISSAL
Overall, our parking lot runs smoothly thanks to all of you! Safety is the number one priority when accounting for the flow of traffic (buses and cars) that rotates through the parking lot daily. In addition to pedestrian and vehicular safety, we strive to facilitate a smooth and steady flow of traffic. If you enter the parking lot for pick up at dismissal time and find no spots available, you must exit the parking lot and park on the street. This year, we have instituted a queue that begins once our parking lot crossing guard is on duty. The queue should be used by vehicles wanting to enter the lot well before dismissal time to park for pick up , but no spots are available. The queue starts at the driveway entering the lot, up to the crosswalk and onto the apron of the entrance driveway. The crossing guard on duty will direct the first in the queue into the appropriate area and notify cars once a spot becomes available. If you arrive to pick up your child for an early dismissal, notify the crossing guard who will radio the office of your arrival and provide direction on a waiting spot.
Keep in mind that the parking lot can only accommodate a finite number of vehicles. If the queue line is too long, vehicles at the end of the line run the risk of not getting into a parking spot in the lot before dismissal. In these cases, it is best to park down the street and walk in, or meet your child at a prearranged rendezvous spot.
SCHOOL VISITORS:
We are asking for your assistance to ensure that our security procedures during the school day are effective. As many of you know, our school has a security camera, intercom, and buzzer at the front main entrance for use during the school day. To help us assist you when you would like to enter the school:
1. Please press the buzzer to speak with someone in the office
2. You will be asked to state your name and reason for visiting
3. You will be asked to show your photo ID into the security camera above the outside door
4. Office staff will then be able to buzz you inside
5. All visitors must immediately register in the office
In addition, we are asking you to not let any visitors in the door as you enter (and they come up behind you) or as you exit the building.
The teachers and staff are committed to student safety and security and we would like to thank you for your assistance in helping keep the students of Ebeling safe.
