Dear Stevenson Families and Students,

Pride. Tradition. Legacy.


What a fall sports season it has been for our school, and this Saturday is shaping up to be an unbelievable double header for our Spartans. Two of our programs are stepping onto Michigan’s biggest athletic stages to represent our town, our school, and our community.


High school athletics has a unique power that goes far beyond scores and trophies. It transcends competition, bringing people together across generations, filling the stands with familiar faces, and uniting us all under a shared sense of pride for our school.


First, our Boys Cross Country team has qualified as a team for the MHSAA State Championship meet at Michigan International Speedway. This marks the first time in ten years that our boys cross country program has qualified for the state meet as a full team. After hundreds of miles logged since summer, their work has paid off, and they’ll take the course at 2:00 PM on Saturday.


Then, on Saturday evening, the spotlight shifts to the pitch.


Stevenson soccer has defined high school athletic excellence in Michigan for over forty years. Our program boasts thirteen state championship titles—eight for the boys (1976, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1991, 1996) and five for the girls (1983, 1985, 1990, 1997, 1998). Every single one of those championships were earned through relentless hard work, a commitment to excellence, and deep community support.


That’s our tradition. That’s the legacy our alumni left behind.


Now, this group of soccer players is writing their own chapter. They’ve earned their spot in the MHSAA State Championship Finals. When they walk out onto that pitch on Saturday night, they’re carrying the pride of our entire community on their jerseys.


Let’s pack the stands at both events, bring your loudest voice, and show the state what Stevenson spirit is all about.

Take A Closer Look at Reflections

Reflections is a multi-level arts program that brings students, families, and communities together through the creativity.

Each year, students create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. Students can enter one or more arts categories and participate the program division that best fits their grade level or support needs. Based on options available in each state, winning entries may advance for additional recognition at the state and national levels.

Reflections Theme: “What My Culture Means to Me”

In Reflections, each entry must be an original creation inspired by the annual student-created Reflections theme. The theme is what makes Reflections special because every student uses the same theme, no matter their experience with making art.

Each theme inspires students to create and share their ideas through artwork. PTAs use the to engage their entire community in creativity and art-making.

HOW TO RELEASE YOUR STUDENT EARLY

We do not call students out of class based on a parent phone call to the office. Please follow one of these methods:


  • To have your student waiting in the office for you: Send a note with them to take (first thing in the morning) to their assistant principal's office before school starts. They will receive a pass to come to the office at the time you designate for their checkout pass. This method is beneficial because the student's attendance will be taken care of in advance, avoiding those robocalls letting you know that your student was absent.


  • If you do not send a note: Please call the office about 1.5 - 2 hours before you want the student dismissed. We prepare a pass and have your student ready to go upon your arrival. If you pick up your student in the afternoon, you will receive a robocall regarding the absence. The absence will be excused the following morning by the Attendance Secretary.


IMPORTANT: Anyone picking up a student must show their ID when they arrive. The person picking up the student MUST be in the list of that student's contacts.

If you have a graduating senior, assist their completion of the FAFSA with the resources below. There has never been a better time for students to use state & federal aid to pay for postsecondary costs. Remember, by filling out the FAFSA you are not accepting loans; your student may be eligible for free money in the form of Grants, Scholarships, Michigan Tuition Assistance Program & the Michigan Achievement Scholarship.

Question of the Day What does "I'm fine" REALLY mean when your teen says it?

Sometimes "I'm fine" means more than we realize. Here are three things to keep in mind:

1. Sometimes silence means there's more beneath the surface.

Keep checking in, asking questions, and reminding your teen that you're there to listen—whenever they're ready to talk.

2. Connection before questions.


Try: "You don't have to talk right now, but I want you to know I'm here." Taking the pressure off can open the door to conversation.

3. Pay attention to changes, not just words.

Sometimes behavior communicates what teens aren't ready to say.

4. Asking open end questions can provide teens more opportunity to talk. Examples of questions:

  • What did you enjoy most about your day?

  • Was there a moment today when you wished something had gone differently?

  • What is something that happened today that you wish you could tell someone about?

  • When you say you had a fine day, what does fine mean to you?

  • On a scale from 1-5, 5 being the best day ever - how would you rate your day?


PARENT REMINDER

Your presence matters more than your perfect words.
