Audio only works on a desktop or laptop. Our apologies.

For the safety of our students, bus drivers, and all parent vehicles, please DO NOT enter the Bus Loop for student drop-off before 7:10 AM.

Buses are actively loading and unloading students prior to 7:10 AM. Children can be difficult for bus drivers to see when they are walking between buses, and additional vehicle traffic makes it challenging for buses to safely maneuver through the loop.

If you are dropping off your student before 7:10 AM, please use the Main Entrance or the West Side of the building. The Bus Loop may be used for parent drop-off AFTER 7:10 AM.

We understand that mornings can be busy, but keeping the Bus Loop clear before 7:10 AM is an important safety measure. Please help us keep students, buses, and vehicles moving safely by following this drop-off procedure.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us make safety a priority each morning!

• Arrival Time: Building doors open at 6:45 AM. Please do not drop off students prior to this time.

• Morning Entry Locations: Students may enter through one of three designated doors:

• Main Entrance (Door #1)

• Athletics Hall (Door #24)

• Bus Loop (Door #51)

• Late Arrivals & Security: Once the school day begins, all other doors are locked and students must enter through the Main Entrance (Door #1). To keep our school secure, students are strictly prohibited from letting others in through side doors.

• Bus Loop: Reserved exclusively for LPS transportation, including LCTC and Hospitality buses. Please do not use the bus loop for personal student drop-off or pick-up.

For full safety standards, please review the Student Handbook under the "Student" tab on our website.

📝Please send a note with your student. They can take it to their AP office for a pass to be dismissed from class early.

🤳If you need to call, please do so at least 1.5-2 hours prior. Therefore, we do not have to interrupt classroom instruction.

** If you would like to donate in another way please visit us here at our PTSA link for more options.

Does your student need to leave school early for an appointment or family need? Please remember our 3-step check-out process:

• Step 1- Parent/Guardian Authorization: A parent or guardian must either submit a written note, submit a ParentConnect note, or place a phone call to the school authorizing the early release.

• Step 2 - Assistant Principal Clearance: Whether authorized by a parent note or a phone call, students must visit their Assistant Principal’s office first to receive clearance.

• Step 3 - Building Sign-Out: After AP approval, students must sign out at the main security desk before leaving campus.

At Stevenson, we deeply value every single instructional minute. We know that deep learning requires a distraction-free environment, which is why instructional time across all grade levels remains strictly device-free in alignment with Michigan law and district policy.

Here is what you and your student need to know:

• In-Class Storage: Cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and other electronic devices must be off or silenced. Phones must be placed in designated classroom storage areas, and all other devices kept in backpacks during class time. Device usage is allowed during passing time and lunch.

• Protecting Class Time: To ensure a disruption-free learning space, please direct urgent family communications through the main office. Students needing to make a phone call home may do so from the office.

• Enforcement: Teachers will partner with students to handle minor issues in the classroom. Persistent non-compliance will involve school administration, which may include device confiscation and disciplinary action.

• Exceptions & Liability: Accommodations are made for documented medical needs (e.g., continuous glucose monitors) or admin approval. Students bring devices to school at their own risk; the school is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged property.

To keep our campus safe for everyone, please review our policy regarding e-bikes, electric scooters, and other motorized personal transportation devices:

• Walk Devices on Campus: Once arriving on school property (parking lots, sidewalks, courtyards), students must dismount and walk their devices directly to designated bike racks. Riding on sidewalks, fields, or courtyards is strictly prohibited.

• No Riding Before/After Hours: Operating these devices on school property before or after school hours is prohibited. Per City of Livonia ordinance, unauthorized operation may be subject to police prosecution.

• Safety First: Students must follow all traffic laws. Reckless riding, excessive speed, stunts, and unauthorized passengers are strictly forbidden.

• No Campus Charging: Charging batteries using school electrical outlets is not permitted.

• Liability & Enforcement: The school is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged property. Policy violations may result in loss of riding privileges, school disciplinary action, or referral to law enforcement.

If your student qualifies for bus transportation for the 2026–2027 school year, you must complete the electronic bus registration form (see the email that was sent on August 3 for your unique link).

Families are asked to complete the bus registration form even if their student will not use transportation at this time. Simply indicate that transportation is not needed. Transportation can be added later if your family’s needs to change it, but receiving a response from every family helps the district properly plan routes and staffing.

If you did not receive a bus registration email:

• Check with the primary parent or guardian listed for your student in our Student Information System.
• Check your spam, junk, and promotions folders.
• If you still cannot locate the registration email (and your student qualifies for bus service), contact Transportation at lpsbus@livoniapublicschools.org.

Stopfinder invitations and bus route information will be provided during the second week of August. Route information will also be available in ParentConnect. Stopfinder will be the district’s primary transportation communication tool for the upcoming school year, providing bus schedules, live bus tracking, alerts, and push notifications regarding delays.

TIP: Your student's bus route information will appear in the Stopfinder app BEFORE it appears in your ParentConnect account!

A student cannot be in possession of or take prescription drugs or non-prescription medication, such as Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Tums etc. at school or during school.

If it is necessary for a student to take medication during the school day (prescription or non-prescription), a Medication Authorization form must be completed and signed by both the doctor and the parent. All medication will be kept in the Main Office for the student’s use and dispensed by office staff.

We encourage you to bring your student's Medication Authorizations (along with their medication) and Health Care Plans before school starts. Our office is open from 7:00am-3:00pm daily. Mrs. Debbie Pline / DPline2@livoniapublicschools.org / ext. 48913

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.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can say is,

‘I’m here. You don’t have to handle this alone.’

Question of the Week:

What can I do this week to help my child feel heard, supported, and connected?

Small moments of connection can make a big difference.

• Check in: Ask, “How are you really doing?”

• Listen first: Give them your attention without immediately trying to fix things.

• Be present: Spend 10–15 minutes doing something they enjoy.

• Notice changes: Pay attention to shifts in mood, behavior, sleep, or social connection.

• Remind them: “You can always talk to me. You’re not a burden.”

• Reach out: If you’re concerned, connect with a trusted adult, counselor, or mental health professional.

Most importantly: Keep the conversation going. Continue to build daily connections times, examples - sitting down and talking, going for a special coffee drink up, catching up on highlights of the day, watching shows/movies that help build natural conversation around teen issues
