Spring Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on March 6 from 4:00 – 7:00. There are limited spots for parents who need a conference. We would like to save the conferences for parents of students who are struggling in the classroom. We will be using SchoolSoft again to schedule conferences. Families have two options for the conferences, virtual or in-person. The in-person conferences will be held from 4:00 – 5:00 and the online conferences are 5:00 -7:00. Parents will be able to schedule their parent teacher conferences beginning February 27 at 6:00 AM and will close on March 5 at 5:00 pm. You will receive a link for each school your child is enrolled (SHS, MST/CSI, Virtual Academy). Please complete the sign-up for each of the schools your student attends (e.g., CSI and VA) as you will need to login to both to sign up to conference with your student’s teachers. Please be at your computer on time. If you prefer to meet in person, you should schedule a time in SchoolSoft.com that is dedicated for in person conferences) PLEASE NOTE: THE ONLY TIMES AVAILBLE FOR IN PERSON CONFERENCES ARE FROM 4:00- 5:00 PM. DO NOT SCHEDULE AN IN-PERSON CONFERENCE that is not in that window - you will be turned away. Parents should be at school on time for their scheduled conference and keep to the time limit that was scheduled.

The district will host its 19th annual College & Career Pathways from 6:00 p.m. -8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at Henry Ford II High School. This event is aimed at current 10th-12th graders. Up to 63 post-secondary institutions and trade schools will be in attendance to offer information to assist students with their post-secondary plans.  This year, students will need to register for the event prior to attending. Most of the post-secondary institutions and/or trade schools will collect student information via a scan tool. Students can register for a barcode at StriveFair.com. Students will receive their barcode upon submitting their registration and will receive it again as a reminder 2 hours before the fair start time.

ATTENTION – The school day ends at 2:14 p.m. Students must exit the building by 2:30 p.m. Any student who is staying after school must be under the supervision of a staff member, coach, or teacher. If practice is not immediately after school, students are expected to go home and return at their practice time. Also note that students are not allowed in the gyms at any time unless a coach or teacher is present.

No outside food is permitted, students can get lunch/breakfast from the cafeteria, school store or bring a lunch.

ATTENDANCE When a student has accumulated 11 absences* in any one class over the course of a semester, the student will be notified in a meeting with an assistant/associate principal that they have lost credit in that class and that they are placed on an attendance contract to earn the credit back. There are two parts to a contract. First, the student must pass the class with a D- or higher. Second, the student will show improvement in attendance in ALL classes. Improvement is determined on a sliding scale which allows for 1 absence for every three weeks (rounded up) left in the semester for each class.

A reminder to all students, you are required to always wear your ID badge. Not only for security reasons, but because you need to scan them at lunch! So, please make sure you are wearing your ID badge around your neck.
