The Sheiko Weekly Update

PRINCIPAL UPDATE

Dear Sheiko Families,

We have an exciting week at school!

Our 1st graders just returned from a wonderful trip to Hess Hathaway Park, and it was a great experience for our students.

Our Circus is coming up on Friday, May 22nd, and we are so grateful for the many volunteers who help make this special event possible. Thank you for your time and support!

We also have some wonderful field trips planned:

Our 2nd graders will be heading to Apple Island
Our 3rd graders will be visiting Lansing
Our 5th graders are preparing for their trip to Camp Tanuga

Here is our "Big Announcement" for 5th Grade Families:

Students attending Camp Tanuga should arrive at school at 6:30 a.m. on Monday. Please use the car loop on the recess side of the playground for drop-off. Boys should go in door 9 to check in and girls should go in Door 10. Please remember that students may not bring food or technology. We will provide a snack on the way down and the way back. If your student is not going away to camp, we will be having "Camp Sheiko" right here at school, and they should attend school at the regular time.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Goooooooooo Lakers!

Sincerely,
Mrs. McDowell

SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST 2026-2027

ENHANCEMENT MILLAGE

On August 4, 2026, voters in Oakland County, MI, will be asked to consider a new Regional Enhancement Millage to support all public schools in the county and eligible public school academies. A regional enhancement millage is the only mechanism school districts may use to increase per-pupil funding. If the millage passes, every penny generated by this proposal would be distributed to all public school districts and eligible public school academies in Oakland County at an average rate of $781 per student.
