Dear Stevenson Families and Students,

We have officially wrapped up our fifth week of school. The fifth week of the semester is an important milestone. By now, our classroom routines are well established, fall sports, marching band, and extracurricular activities are in full swing, and our students are settling into the rhythm of the academic year.


As we reach this mid-point of the first marking period, it is time for our students to dig in, reflect on their current progress, and make full use of the academic and personal support systems available at Stevenson. To help keep students on track, families are encouraged to regularly review academic progress and upcoming assignments on MiStar ParentConnect, ensure students utilize Spartan Time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, monitor attendance and tardies, and reach out directly to teachers or counselors whenever support is needed. We encourage every student to evaluate their habits and seek help early rather than waiting until the end of the marking period.


Excitement is building across the school as our Student Senate and class officers prepare for Homecoming Week. Homecoming is one of our most cherished traditions, bringing together students, staff, alumni, and families.


To ensure that all students represent Stevenson with pride, please keep in mind our key participation requirements.

  • Attendance at the Homecoming Dance and related events requires students to be in good academic standing, maintain consistent attendance, and uphold a clean behavioral record in alignment with our school-wide expectations and code of conduct.


We urge families to log in to MiStar ParentConnect this weekend alongside your student. Take a moment to review attendance records and current assignment marks so there are no surprises as Homecoming approaches.


Thank you for your continued partnership, encouragement, and support at home. Together, we are building a school year defined by growth, achievement, and strong community connections.


Pete Kotsogiannis

Principal


GO SPARTANS!!

Thank you to Mrs. Wojtyniak for her many years of NHS Leadership

A Heartfelt Thank You to Mrs. Wojtyniak

Please join us in expressing our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Wojtyniak for her extraordinary dedication, enthusiasm, and leadership as our National Honor Society Adviser for the past 13 years.

Throughout her time in this role, Mrs. Wojtyniak has guided and encouraged countless students, helped create meaningful leadership opportunities, and instilled in our students the importance of service, scholarship, character, and leadership. Her commitment to NHS has made a lasting impact—not only on the students she has supported, but on our entire school community.


As she passes the NHS Adviser role to Ms. Ware and its next chapter, we are incredibly grateful for the time, energy, and heart she has poured into this program. Thank you, Mrs. Wojtyniak, for 13 remarkable years of making a difference. Your legacy will continue through the many students whose lives you have touched and inspired.

NMSQT Testing for Juniors: October 15, 2026

The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is offered each year by the College Board for the purpose of qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Students must score in the top 1% of the country to be considered a National Merit Finalist. This year, the PSAT/NMSQT will be given on Thursday, October 15 during the school day at Stevenson.


This is NOT the SAT test used for college admissions which will be given to all juniors in the spring for free as part of the Michigan Merit Exam.


Please note the following information:
1. Tests will be administered during the school day on October 15 during hours 1-3 for Juniors only.
2. Registration will close Wednesday, September 16 by 12:00 pm. Link to sign up is below.
3. The NMSQT test is a student fee-based test and must be registered via the school pay link below. Student registration fee is 25.00 dollars---there is no refund as SHS is charged for unused tests.
4. NMSQT tests are designed to identify the very top percentile of students in the United States. The test is meant to be taken during the fall of junior year. Students taking this test should be prepared to take a rigorous and difficult exam.
5. NMSQT guides are available online (link below).
6. Room assignments and additional information to come after registration has closed.

2026-2027 FAFSA

Haven't Completed the FAFSA Yet?? No Problem!

This school year saw delays & complications with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Thankfully that is all behind us and financial aid reports have been sending to college & trade school financial aid offices since April. 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. The only way to utilize this free financial aid is to do the first step - complete the FAFSA.

My name is Stephanie Manske, and I am the Student Assistance Provider at Stevenson High School. In my role, I work to support our students’ emotional and social well-being. This semester, we are offering a variety of support groups designed to assist students dealing with grief, anxiety and substance use. We also have a group for new students.

These groups are available to students based on recommendations from teachers and counselors, responses from our student survey, or through student self-referral. Participation is entirely voluntary, and the groups will run for 8-10 weeks.

If you do not wish for your student to participate in one of these support groups, please let me know. However, if you believe your son or daughter would benefit from one of these opportunities, I encourage you to reach out to me directly at smanske@livoniapublicschools.org.

Thank you for your continued support of your student’s well-being. I look forward to working together to ensure a positive and supportive experience for all of our students.

Question on the Week

What can I do to best support my daughter/son when they refuse to go to school?

It’s not surprising if your child complains about going to school from time to time. Maybe they’re nervous about a math test or a presentation. That’s inevitable.

But when fear and anxiety regularly keep your child from getting on the bus, walking into the building or staying in class, it’s likely something more than just a case of the jitters.

Pediatrician Ellen Rome, MD, and child psychiatrist Joseph Austerman, DO, explain what school refusal is, why it happens and how you can help your child approach school with confidence in the article School Refusal: When Anxiety Causes Kids to Avoid School.
