I hope this edition of the newsletter finds you enjoying your break. Summer sure is going fast. The 2018-2019 school year, which begins on Tuesday, September 4 th, is just around the corner and so too are our Eagle Days registration sessions. Registration packets should be arriving in your mailboxes soon if you haven t already received them. As each registration session is broken down alphabetically, please be sure to identify your scheduled time in the registration packet you receive in the mail. Eagle Days for registration will be: Sophomores Tuesday, August 21 st 8:00 a.m. 11:00 a.m. Juniors Tuesday, August 21 st 12:00 p.m. 2:30 p.m. Seniors Wednesday, August 22 nd 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. As a reminder, any student who is unable to attend Eagle Days, should bring with them their completed registration forms and report to the ECC (behind the Media Center) on the first day of school. Students will follow the Eagle Day process, which includes having pictures taken at that time. Once they have completed the process, they will receive their student ID and class schedule and report to their first hour class. I d like to send a special welcome to our incoming Sophomores, members of the Class of 2021. We had a great time meeting you all on our Freshman Fly-up days last June and you are now officially Eagles! As you transition to high school life I would encourage you, and all of our Ike students, to explore and take advantage of the many clubs, activities and opportunities available to you. Juniors, this is an important year for you. As in the past, Juniors will participate in the State of Michigan mandatory MME testing, which includes the SAT. Start the year off on the right foot! Seniors, you are now our school leaders. I encourage you to stay focused on your studies as you complete your last year of high school and make preparations for your post-secondary education. Mark your calendars! This year s Open House is scheduled to take place on September 18 th beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center (PAC). Our teachers, counselors and administrators are looking forward to meeting with you. You will have the opportunity to follow your student s schedule, meet teachers and receive an overview of each course curriculum. Additionally, fall parent teacher conferences are scheduled to take place on October 11 th. We ask that parents use the Parent Portal on PowerSchool to help monitor their student s progress and attendance. Last year, PowerSchool was enhanced to offer parents new resources available in PowerSchool Unified Classroom. If you have not created your new Unified Classroom account please visit http://www.uticak12.org/academics/ powerschool to access information, directions, and helpful videos to do so. The Unified Classroom is a great tool to monitor student progress and support communication between home and the school. If you have any difficulty creating your account or logging in, please contact the main office. The Eisenhower staff is excited for the school year to start. Enjoy the last bit of summer and get ready for an amazing 2018-2019 school year! Thank you and GO EAGLES! Sincerely, Jared A. McEvoy Principal

STUDENT AND STAFF RECOGNITION The Marching Band Student Leaders for the 2018-19 season have been selected! There were 21 students (the most ever) try out, so the competition was very difficult. After much debate the following students were selected: Marching Band Field Command Personnel 2018-19 Drum Majors Pamella Kraemer James Labon Jaclyn Swartz Field Commanders Emily Maciasz Emilia Serraiocco Kaleyna Zahuranic 19 Eisenhower students placed nationally this spring in the National Spanish Exam. The rigorous two-day testing is done each March across the country and taken by 150,000 young adult members of the National Spanish Honor Society. Teachers Monica Klesko, Kelly Warzin and Carol Dimovski could not be prouder of their students! Says Klesko, Working with these very talented young people in Spanish IV and AP these years has made me realize how very talented and hard working this group is, but to have so many of our kids place nationally we could not have dared dream of such a wonderful result! Receiving Gold Medals are Nicholas Koshy (11) and Michael Nikolovski (11), placing in the 99 th and 97 th percentiles respectively. Silver Medals were awarded to Giuliano Romano (12) and Allister Ho (12). Jessica Czapla (12), Paige Nicholson (10), and Nicholas Krstevski (12) each received Bronze Medals and Honorable Mentions were conferred upon Travis Barlog (10), Vikrant Desai (11), Christian George (11), Maria Gerges (11), Ethan Gurne (11), Blake Johanson (12), Hannah Kadets (12), Gabrielle Kitto (11), Carlo LoChirco (12), Devyn Music (11), Gretchen Stuben (12), and Mikella Vanlith (12). Felicidades a Todos! Congratulations to all! It is with immense honor and great excitement that we proudly announce the Eisenhower High School Wind Ensemble (our top audition band) has been selected to perform at the 2019 Michigan Music Conference!! In the field of instrumental music, playing at a State conference is the highest accolade an ensemble can earn and we are so happy our students will get to have this great experience. This will be the first concert ensemble in the history of Utica Community Schools to ever play at our State Conference, so we are especially ecstatic to represent our entire music community in this endeavor. Only five bands statewide were selected this year out of 41 applicants. Specifics for the trip to Grand Rapids will be made public as information becomes available! We currently know that the performance will take place Friday, January 25, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. in DeVos Hall, home of the Grand Rapids Symphony. We will be playing 45 minutes of music and will have several different guest conductors and a professional solo artist doing a concerto as well.
