Shelby Junior High Vision – Building educational bridges to lifelong learning.
Dear Parents:
The scheduling process for the 2009-2010 school year has begun. Utica and Eisenhower High School counselors have visited and
th
presented scheduling information to our 9 Grade Students. Utica High School announced their Curriculum Night to our students as
February 3 and a notice was also sent home with our students. Eisenhower High School is holding a Curriculum Night on February 9,
2009. Schedules for both high schools will be collected on February 11, 2009.
th
th
The Shelby Counselors will begin speaking to classes the second week of February, both current 7 and 8 grade students, about their
th
th
th
th
opportunities in 8th and 9 grades. The Curriculum Night for parents of 7 and 8 graders is March 4, 6 – 6:45 pm for 8 grade parents
th
th
and 7 – 7:45 pm for 7 grade parents. No students please. The 8 grade students have also heard presentations from the specialized
programs, International Baccalaureate, CSI (Center for Science and Industry) and MST (Math, Science and Technology). The
applications for the CSI and IB programs can be found online at http://csi.uticak12.org and http://uais.uticak12.org. There is a deadline
for applications so please apply soon.
Students interested in MST must have taken Algebra I this year in eighth grade and also take a scheduled test given by MST. This
information is in the packet all Algebra I students received from their Algebra I teachers.
Accelerated classes are available for Shelby students in all grades and in all core academic areas. We will be offering a new choice to
th
challenge our 9 grade students: AP World History. It will be taught by Mr. Brian Barbuto. If students successfully master this course
and take the AP test at the end and pass with a score of 3, 4 or 5, colleges will accept that as college credit. How exciting for our
students!! And, money savings for parents!!!
Shelby Counselors will then turn their attention to visitations at all our feeder elementary schools during the last week of February and
th
the first week of March. All parents of sixth grade students are invited to 7 grade Curriculum Night on March 10. From 6:30 – 7 pm you
may have a self guided tour of the building and some classrooms. The meeting will begin promptly at 7 pm.
Our space is very limited so we ask that ONLY adults attend…no students, please.
th
6 grade students will have the opportunity in May to visit Shelby and learn more about their new school. We will also provide an
th
Orientation for 6 grade students before school begins in September.
The EXPLORE test results have been returned to the school. This is a two part test that includes a career interest section and an
th
academic assessment and is taken by all 9 graders. Mrs. Klann will visit freshman classes to explain the results to the students. The
individual scores will then go home with your student. Please look for these between February 9 and February 13.
Shelby is anxiously awaiting the MEAP scores from the assessment given in October. When we receive these results we will be
sending them home with the children. We are confident that our students again performed well on this state test. Teachers will be using
this data to determine strategies to use so they can better prepare the children of today for college completion in the future.
Sincerely,

Parents can share their business expertise
with sixth graders at the 2009 Career Focus
Luncheon
Calling all parents! Are you interested in
spending a lunch hour with district sixth
graders to share your business expertise? Then
consider attending the annual Career Focus
Luncheon, set for Wednesday or Thursday,
May 6 and May 7 at Penna’s of Sterling
Heights.
For more than 20 years, this increasingly “must
attend” event has impacted the lives of literally
thousands of young adults. As a participant,
you will share your professional expertise with
a
table of sixth graders from the Utica
Community Schools. In turn, these students,
on the brink of adulthood, will talk to their role
models for a day about their hopes and
aspirations.
In addition to a great meal and rewarding
conversation, a key aspect of the event is its
keynote speaker. Over the years, speakers
have included notables from the fields of
politics, sports, business and entertainment,
and the 2009 event will be no exception.
The event is co-sponsored by the UCS
Foundation for Educational Excellence, the
Advisor & Source Newspapers and the Sterling
Heights Area Chamber of Commerce, in
cooperation with the Utica Community
Schools. Proceeds from the event will benefit
the Foundation's work on behalf of students.
Since its establishment in 1986, the Foundation
has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for
students in the Utica Community Schools. Its
Instructional Grant program offers unique
educational experiences to support regular
classroom programming. Scholarships provide
students funds for college and technical school
training. Summer literacy programs for
elementary school students and after-school
academic support for secondary students help
them achieve.
For reservations or more information, call the
UCS Foundation for Educational Excellence at
