ear Eisenhower Family:
I hope your summer is going great! We
have had some construction work during the
summer months. Several restrooms have
been remodeled and updated, the roof was
replaced over the gym area and perhaps the
most noticeable change is our new secure
entrance at Door 1. After 7:20 a.m. when
school has begun, anyone wishing to enter the
school must enter through the new door in
the main office.
Our 2016-2017 school year is just around
the corner. The district calendar for the
upcoming school year is posted on our
website at www.uticak12.org. I’d like to send
a special welcome to our incoming
sophomores, members of the Class of 2019.
You are officially Eagles! Juniors, this is an
important year for you. Juniors will
participate in the State of Michigan mandatory
MME testing, which includes the SAT. More
details about the testing will be provided in
future newsletters. Seniors, you are our
school leaders. Keep focused on your studies
as you complete your last year of high school
and make preparations for your postsecondary education.
Open House is tentatively scheduled for
Thursday evening, September 29th. We will
begin in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) at
6:30 p.m. Our teachers, counselors and
administrators are looking forward to meeting
with you. You will have the opportunity to
follow your student’s schedule and receive an
overview of each course curriculum.
Registration packets should be arriving
soon in your mailboxes. Eagle Days for
registration will be:
JUNIORS
Tuesday, August 23rd 11:30 a.m.—2:30 p.m.
SOPHOMORES
Wednesday, August 24th 7:30—11:30 a.m.
I am excited for school to start; bringing
the opportunity to meet the new students and
families of Eisenhower as well as reconnecting
with those returning. Eisenhower has a
reputation for high performing students –
both academically and in extracurricular
activities. I know our students will continue
this by taking rigorous classes where they will
be participating, studying and completing
homework. I also expect to see our students
participating in extracurricular activities that
are important to them, such as becoming part
of the environmental club, marching with the
band or displaying good sportsmanship while
cheering on an Ike sports team. We recognize
that students need active, involved parents as
well. Our parents need to be ready and willing
to support their child in all their activities
while making academics the priority.
Eisenhower staff members will continue to
provide students with challenging courses in
every subject area.
We ask that parents use the Parent Portal
on PowerSchool to help monitor their
student’s progress and attendance. See pages
27-29 for more information regarding
PowerSchool. It is important that every
parent log in and use PowerSchool. If you
have difficulty logging in please contact the
main office.
Let’s all work together to make 2016-2017
a great school year!
GO Eagles!

10TH GRADE GUIDELINES
HOW SHOULD I PLAN FOR COLLEGE?
You’ve probably heard that “a college degree can open many doors for you.” Many careers require a college degree for you to take part in
them, so attending college will provide more career choices for you. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, a college graduate will earn $1 million
more in a lifetime than someone who doesn’t attend college. Most importantly, the people you meet, the experiences you have, and the knowledge
you gain from college can impact you for the rest of your life. One of the most important aspects in preparing to go to college involves effective
planning and preparation. Even if you’re not sure about attending college, making the right choices now will keep college success as an option for
you.
 Work hard to get good grades. Most colleges will be reviewing your grades in 9th, 10th and 11th grades when making an
admission decision.
 Take NCAA-approved courses if you want to play sports in college.
 Sign up, if you have not done so already, for co-curricular activities that interest you. The level of involvement and
accomplishment is most important, not the number of activities.
 Keep a record of your co-curricular involvement, volunteer work and employment (all year).
 Start compiling a notebook as you research and visit colleges you’re interested in. Keep track of Web addresses, high school
curriculum requirements, and important dates and deadlines. Make note of what you like, what you didn’t like, and what
information you still need while researching colleges.
 Visit the colleges that most interest you, perhaps as part of a family vacation or other activity. Talk to current students or
alumni of these colleges to get a real idea of what it’s like to go to each college.
 Keep developing good study habits. As a 10th grader, you should aim for two hours of study each weeknight.
 Ask your guidance counselor about scholarships available from your high school, in your community or nationally.
 Begin to identify your areas of academic strength, as well as areas of particular interest or passion.
 During the summer months, participate in meaningful activities – such as workshops, community programs, and enrichment
programs – both for personal fulfillment and as an achievement you can include on college applications. You might also
consider job shadowing to learn more about professions that interest you.
 Explore college Web sites in greater depth.

COUNSELING COMMUNIQUÉ,
CONT’D
11TH GRADE
GUIDELINES
 Maintain your good grades. This year is especially important since it will be your grade point average from 9th through
11th grades that college admissions officials will be reviewing.
 Take a majority of academic courses, such as English, math, science, social studies and foreign language.
 Take NCAA-approved courses if you want to play sports in college.
 Junior year PSAT scores may qualify a student for the National Merit Scholarship Competition and the National
Achievement and the National Hispanic Scholars Programs. The more times you take standardized tests, the more
familiar you will become with the format and the types of questions asked. If you wish to receive free information from
colleges, indicate on the PSAT test answer form that you want to participate in the Student Search.
 Take the SAT. If you aren’t satisfied with your initial score, you can always take the test again in early fall of your
senior year.
 Continue looking at college Web sites and brochures. Narrow down your search to three to five potential colleges or
universities.
 Establish an e-mail account that you plan to use just for purposes of college admissions and check it often. We
recommend using your UCS email—most colleges and universities will want to send you periodic updates on your
application status, and having a dedicated e-mail account works best if you are applying to several institutions.
 Start a comparison worksheet on the colleges and universities that you might want to attend.
 Visit as many of the colleges and universities that interest you as you can. It’s difficult to judge “the feel” of an
institution unless you’ve been on its campus.
 When enrolling for courses for your senior year, choose at least three or four academic courses per semester.
Continuing with math, foreign language, and lab sciences your senior year greatly enhances your opportunity for
academic success in college.
 Search for potential scholarships using free online search services such as www.fastweb.com, www.finaid.com and
www.collegeanswer.com. Many scholarships have application deadlines as early as November of your senior year for
funds to be available the following fall.
 Keep your grades up! Many schools review final grades and may rescind an offer of admission if senior year grades slip.

CONT’D
12TH GRADE
GUIDELINES
 If you were not satisfied with the score on the SAT, register to take it again. The sooner, the better, since most colleges and
universities require a test score in order to make an admission decision.
 Apply for admission to the three to five colleges or universities that interest you by October of your senior year. Check Web
sites and brochures for specific application deadlines.
 Check with your guidance counselor to make sure your transcript and test scores have been/will be sent to the colleges to
which you are applying.
 Complete scholarship applications. You may be eligible for more scholarships than you think, apply for as many as you can.
 If the colleges require recommendations, ask the appropriate people to write on your behalf. At least three weeks before the
due date, ask your counselor and teachers, employers, or coaches to write letters of recommendation. Provide
recommendation forms, any special instructions and a stamped, addressed business envelope to the people writing your
recommendation. Be thoughtful! Write thank-you notes to those who write recommendations and keep them informed of
your decisions.
 Revisit the colleges and universities that interest you the most. Many offer day/overnight visits that enable you to stay with
current students and attend class with them.
 Enjoy your final year in high school, but don't catch senioritis!
 Attend a financial aid workshop with your parents in your local school district.
 Complete the FAFSA online as soon after January 1st as possible to apply for need-based financial aid for the following
academic year.
 By May 1st, decide on the one college that you will attend. By May 1st, send in your tuition deposit to the college you will
attend. Notify the other colleges that accepted you that you have selected another college.
 Take AP examinations, if appropriate and request that your AP scores be sent to the college you will attend.
 Congratulations, you've made it through high school! Enjoy your graduation and look
forward to college.
 Ease the transition into college. Accept the fact that you'll be in charge of your academic and
personal life. What you do, when you do it and how things get done will be up to you. You'll
have new responsibilities and challenges. Think about budgeting your time and establishing
priorities. Take charge of the changes that lie ahead and eliminate or minimize pressures. Go
forth with confidence and enthusiasm, willingness to adapt and determination to succeed
academically and personally.

Below are tasks that students must complete in order to request the transcripts and recommendations from teachers to be sent
electronically to schools:
1) Log onto Family Connection.

August 1st.
a.
Enter the high school information and add at least one college, and sign the FERPA release Authorization on the
Common App.
b. Complete the Common App Matching process in Family Connection. This links Family Connection to your Common
App account. If you do not complete this process, Naviance prevents the high school from electronically submitting
school forms.
c.
Add colleges to the ‘Colleges I’m Applying To’ list in Family Connection. (If you click on the Dashboard you will see all of

(teacher recommendation/transcripts). Request teachers to write recommendations as early as possible! As part of
your request, you must tell teachers which schools they should send a recommendation to. If a school only requires
2 (max) recommendations and you ask 3-4 other recommenders, only the first 2 can be uploaded in eDocs. Pay
special attention to how many recommendations can be submitted to each university! Only send teacher
recommendation requests through Naviance. Do not send them through the Common App.
6) If a student has a Common APP school on his list in Family Connection, the student needs to indicate if he is applying via
Common App or not.
7) Return to Family Connection frequently to update your college results.
8)
Request a final transcript for a college after the application is marked as accepted in Family Connection. You can mark an
application as accepted from the Colleges tab of the student folder in the Application Details section and select Accepted
using the Result drop-down menu. A student can mark an application as accepted from the Colleges I’m Applying To List
in Family Connection. The student clicks the pencil icon in the Results column and updates the result as Accepted. When the
student goes to request a transcript, he or she will see a Request Final Transcript section.

each university!
DETERMINING WHICH COLLEGES ACCEPT ONLINE TRANSCRIPTS

College accepts paper transcripts only; must provide envelope/label
College accepts online transcripts; no envelope/label necessary
Common Application college accepts online transcripts; no envelope/label necessary
If a college offers the choice of their own application or the Common Application, we recommend using the Common
Application. If you have questions, please see your counselor.
COLLEGES I’M APPLYING TO LIST
Adding colleges to the Colleges I’m Applying To list in Family Connection is a great way for students to let school staff
members know which colleges they are applying to. When a student adds a college to the list, the student is added to the

Congratulations to Isabel Wallace and Emma Heidrich who created a video for their school project, the goal was share an
important message for students on the verge of
driving. They accomplished that and more. The
pair were honored nationally with the first place
Courageous Persuaders Award and a $2,000
scholarship for their PSA about texting and driving
- “Two Things at Once.” “The video was for
middle school students, so we wanted to get across
an important message, but in a fun way,” said
Heidrich. The pair created the video for
Courageous Persuaders in their film class at
Eisenhower High School. Their teacher is
Josephine Braun. Courageous Persuaders is a
competition where high school students create 30second television commercials warning middle
school students about the dangers of underage
drinking, drinking and driving, and texting while
driving. The contest, sponsored by the Detroit
Auto Dealers Association (DADA), drew 652
entries from 242 high schools, and has involved
over 1,000 students from 43 states across the U.S.
Left to right: Isabel Wallace, Huel Perkins from Fox 2 and Emma Heidrich pictured with their
and from Canada. Winners were announced at a first place Courageous Persuaders Award.
May 11th screening at the Emagine Theater. Both
Isabel and Emma said they were surprised they received the national award for their 30-second clip. The film was shown
again on the big screen May 19th at Emagine Macomb at “A Filmmakers Evening,” which featured UCS student work
honored in 2016 Digital Art Film and Television (DAFT) Competition. “It’s a big honor,” Wallace said. “This is the third
time it has been on a big screen. It has given us a lot of confidence.” Source:

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS
WE’RE KIND OF A BIG DEAL
HERE’S WHY:
JOSTENS RENAISSANCE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
This summer Student Council E-Board traveled down to
Orlando, Florida for the Jostens Renaissance National
Conference. During these five days, our council met other
leadership students from all over the United States. We got to
hear multiple sessions on what other schools in our country do
with their councils or groups. Student Council gained many
new ideas for this upcoming school year and how we could
further improve our school environment. We came up with
the slogan “We’re kind of a big deal, here’s why” to show that
Eisenhower High School as a whole, is kind of a big deal. We
plan on mounting this slogan on one of our school walls and
add accomplishments that our school achieves throughout the
whole year.
STUDENT COUNCIL CAMP
Student Council will be attending our yearly camp at
Eisenhower High School, August 1st. This event strongly helps
our council bond together and bring new ideas for our school.
We talk a lot about our upcoming homecoming and
plan out all the details that go into the dance. Camp
is a good way to make new friends in Stuco and
communicate with each other to learn on how to
improve our school and community.
HOMECOMING—BACK TO THE FUTURE
Homecoming football game vs. Henry Ford II High
School is October 21st at 7:00 p.m.
Homecoming dance at Eisenhower is October 22nd from
7:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m.
Student Council has been hard at work planning
homecoming and everything involved with it, from the big
game to spirit week. Stay tuned for updates regarding the
theme and spirit week days!

ATHLETIC BOOSTER CLUB NEWS
The Eisenhower Athletic Booster Club supports varsity
sport programs at Eisenhower High School. The purpose
of our club is to raise funds to supplement all sports
beyond what the district can provide. We do this by
running concession stands at the varsity, junior varsity and
freshman football games and boys and girls basketball
games. The Booster Club also runs 50/50 raffles at football
games and hosts an annual spring auction—which is our
biggest fundraiser of the year.
With funds raised by Booster Club, we are also able to
offer eight senior athletes with the opportunity to win a
$500 Michael Touhey Scholarship. This summer the
Athletic Booster Club is improving the concession stand at
Swinehart Field along with the Utica High School Booster
Club. We are also funding improvements at the track field
at Eisenhower High School. This past school year we
helped provide a timing system for the track team, banners
for Swinehart Field and so much more.

MEANS
SUCCESS
UTICA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
“UCS
LAUNCHES
MEANS SUCCESS”
DISTRICT TO HIGHLIGHT SUCCESS STORIES OF THE
PEOPLE AND TRADITIONS IN ITS COMMUNITY
Utica Community Schools (UCS) has initiated the “UCS means SUCCESS”
program to highlight the community’s strong tradition of educational excellence.
The district is encouraging submission of success stories from students,
alumni, business owners, senior citizens and members of the greater community to
share though videos, social media, local newspapers, school newsletters and the UCS
Web site.
“I see firsthand the amazing things happening in our schools every day,”
said Dr. Christine Johns, superintendent of Utica Community Schools. “We can all
take pride in UCS for its tradition of academic excellence and its integral role in our
community. We’re launching the ‘UCS means SUCCESS’ program to celebrate our
strong tradition of pride and excellence and share our stories with the community.”
A few examples of UCS success this year include:
UCS students consistently score higher on tests than the state average.
The UCS graduation rate of 90 percent is nearly 14 points higher than the state average.
All four UCS high schools – Eisenhower, Henry Ford II, Stevenson and Utica – are ranked among America’s best high schools by
Newsweek magazine.
UCS is a destination district for homebuyers. Realtors advertise a Utica Community Schools location as a strong selling point for
homes.
Utica Academy for International Studies was named Michigan’s most academically challenging high school by the W ashington
Post for the second year in a row.
UCS was named one of the nation’s best communities for music education in 2014.
“The quality of our schools helps protect home and property values and attract new businesses and families to our community,”
said Dr. Johns. “Realtors repeatedly speak of the strengths of Utica Community Schools as a reason families move to this area.”
“Our success is a result of a tremendous team effort on the part of students, teachers, parents, support staff, local businesses and
the greater community. I look forward to celebrating the impact of UCS through this exciting effort.”
PLEASE VISIT
www.UCSmeansSUCCESS.org
to hear students, alumni, families, senior citizens, business
people, and others share their experiences and thoughts about
our schools. Submit your own UCS success story on the web
site or by calling Tim McAvoy at (586) 797-1107.
We look forward to hearing from you!
