Good afternoon Titan community,
Spring Break begins on Monday, March 24. We return to school on Monday, March 31. Take this time to relax, refresh and recharge for the final push into the end of this school year. Let’s finish this school year strong! The 3rd quarter marking period ends today, March 21. Report cards will be sent through Powerschool at the end of the day on April 4. Continue to check PowerSchool as it is a great tool to stay on top of your students’ academic progress and attendance.
Stevenson Titan Athletes could use your help! We are in the process of redesigning our fieldhouse to create a space for all athletes to work out with state-of-the-art equipment better aligned to their personal athletic goals. While the district and the school are paying for items like HVAC, lighting and flooring, the boosters are raising funds for the equipment. To make this possible we are designing a seasonal program that will highlight our athletes and the businesses that support them!
Sponsorship Opportunities - Our project aims to attract sponsors for new fieldhouse equipment. We offer five sponsorship levels with key benefits, including advertisement in the sports program. The goal is to create a sustainable program providing ongoing support and ensuring the success of our athletic programs
Fieldhouse Equipment - The new state-of-the-art equipment will benefit all athletic programs at Stevenson. The fieldhouse can accommodate multiple teams simultaneously, fostering a sense of pride among coaches, parents, students, and staff.
How You Can Help - We need everyone's support to ensure this program's success. Here's how you can contribute:
To meet our goal to pilot our first ever program by the beginning of April, we need all sponsor requests in by April 30. Here is a link to a form that will get the process started.
For any questions or feedback, please contact the Athletic Booster Club at Stevensonathleticboosterclub@gmail.com
Thank you for your continued support!

COUNSELING UPDATES: Counseling Department website
AP EXAMS - Stevenson AP Families – Each student who plans to take and AP exam in May will need to know their College Board username and password.
Many students have been using the "auto login"/"remember my password" feature for years and may have forgotten their actual username and password.
Students should log out and attempt to log back in on their own. Students who have trouble can call College Board at 866-315-6068 for help.
Students should write down their username and password in a safe place so it is ready for test day.
Unfortunately, Stevenson staff do not have access to this information—only College Board can provide username and password recovery support.

ATHLETICS SIGNING DAY
Wednesdday, March 5 was signing day at Stevenson. Congratulations to all our Titans who are going on to play college sports.
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 or beverages are 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.
STUDENT DRESS CODE Students must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the student handbook.
• Indecent, tattered, or unsafe dress or footwear, or attire that calls undue attention to the wearer or has lettering or symbols that are disrespectful or derogatory are not allowed. • Beach wear, low-cut tops, tank tops, sleeveless tops, muscle shirts, see-through clothing, short skirts or shorts, pajamas, tight clothing without proper coverage and clothing exposing the shoulders or mid-section are not allowed. • Students should not wear clothing with inappropriate advertising like Playboy shirts or similar items. • Hats are not allowed in school unless explicit permission for a medical or religious reason is reached. • Knee length shorts and skirts are acceptable.
