The Sheiko Weekly Update
Sheiko Elementary: June 5, 2026
PRINCIPAL UPDATE
Dear Sheiko Families,
As we wrap up another incredible school year, I want to sincerely thank all of our students, staff, and families for making this year so special. From concerts and field trips to classroom celebrations, learning experiences, and everyday moments together, it has truly been a wonderful year filled with growth, joy, and partnership. We are so grateful for your continued support and for sharing your amazing children with us each day.
As we head into summer, one of our main goals is to help prevent the “summer slide” so students can continue building their skills and confidence while still enjoying a well-deserved break. Reading daily, practicing math facts, writing, exploring outdoors, and staying curious all make a tremendous difference!
To help support summer learning, we are sharing our Summer Learning Calendars:
These calendars are filled with fun, engaging activities designed to keep learning active throughout the summer months.
Thank you again for such a fantastic year. I hope your family enjoys a safe, relaxing, and memory-filled summer!
With gratitude,
Blaine McDowell, Principal

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.
