Families can create a game plan for success at UCS Academic Blitz

Area families can create a successful game plan for their children’s educational future at the 11th annual Utica Community Schools Academic Blitz on Thursday, February 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Henry Ford II High School, 11911 Clinton River Road in Sterling Heights.

The event is open to all area families interested in exploring specific options available for UCS students.

“The Academic Blitz provides our families with information that will help put their students on a path toward success in high school and beyond,” Superintendent Dr. Christine Johns. “We offer families a wide array of choices designed to meet their student’s goals and interests. The blitz gives families an overview of these options to ensure they can take full advantage of the exemplary programs offered in our district.”

Families attending the Blitz can choose from among 20 sessions, including: the Naviance career and college readiness tool, getting ready for high school and junior high school, dual enrollment, advanced placement programs, the UCS high school specialty programs, and PowerSchool Unified Classroom. Students from the UCS Superintendent Advisory Council will also host a special workshop for students preparing for high school on tips for successful secondary success.

Informational booths will also be available with representatives from a variety of district programs and post-secondary programs. Agencies that support area educational opportunities will also be available. Booths will open at 6 p.m.
