class of 2025 information
All seniors for the class of 2025 must get their YEARBOOK PHOTO taken by Prestige Portraits. This procedure is not only
equitable for ALL students, it streamlines the process for parents, students, and the yearbook advisor. This service is free
of charge to every single student. In addition, ALL students in the class of 2025 will be included on the class composite
as a result of using Prestige.
Prestige Portraits will be taking senior yearbook photos August 14th, 15th, and 16th in the Stoney Creek High School auditorium from 8am-4pm. Prestige auto selects your child’s appointment date and time for you. You will receive this information directly through Prestige (through a postcard in the mail and an email). If this date and time does not work out for your child, you will be able to go online and reschedule your appointment within the confines of those three days.
If those dates do not work out for you, you will need to arrange a time to go to the Shelby Township or Ferndale studio to
have your child photographed no later than October 19, 2024. You can schedule online by going to
https://local.prestigeportraits.com/. Please make that appointment sooner than later as most schools in our area have
similar deadlines and studio appointment times may be limited. Any student not photographed by October 19, 2024,
will not be included in the senior section of the yearbook.
Once the photos are processed, students/parents will need to choose their preferred photo by October 26, 2024. You
will receive instructions on how to do this once your child is photographed. Prestige will then send the digital file to
Stoney Creek High School for inclusion in the yearbook and class composite. There is nothing else that the student (or
parent) needs to do to appear in the yearbook or on the class composite. If no photo is chosen, the studio will select one
and that photo will appear in the yearbook, on the class composite, and on the slide deck for honors convocation and
graduation.
Please remember that this is a formal section of the yearbook. Students should be in a shirt and tie, collared shirt, dress,
sweater, or blouse. All clothing needs to meet these specifications and the RCS dress code policy. If you need help
obtaining proper attire, or you need more information regarding attire, please contact Mrs. Millard.
Students and parents will still have the opportunity to go to their preferred choice of photographer, if it is not Prestige
Portraits, for their other senior photos. While only the yearbook pose sitting fee is FREE OF CHARGE, Prestige will also be
offering significant discounts for other senior picture packages as well. You will receive marketing materials with those
discounts from them in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Millard at [email protected].

IMPORTANT FAFSA UPDATE
Now is the time for your student to submit their 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at https://studentaid.gov. Please be sure both the student and parent(s) each have their own studentaid.gov credentials to complete the FAFSA. Each person needs to set up the credentials at least three days before starting the application.
Every eligible student should complete the FAFSA, if they are planning to attend college or a trade school in the fall. The FAFSA is what makes students eligible for federal, state and some college-specific financial aid, including grants, scholarships, loans and work-study. There is NO REASON to wait to complete the FAFSA, as it is based on 2022 tax information.
For more information, check out a newsletter devoted specifically to Financial Aid.
For more information, please reference our FAFSA Update.

protect your student on their devices
The Michigan Child Protection Registry has added more apps to keep kids safe from being targeted by adult ads while on their devices.
Districts across Michigan, like yours, always ask - How can we help our families keep their children safe while online? One resource that is extremely important to make parents aware of is the Michigan Child Protection Registry. This Registry is a do-not-contact service that families can easily and quickly sign up for at www.ProtectMIChild.com in order to keep their children safe while on their devices at school and at home. This is a free Registry offered through the State of Michigan that stops adult advertisements from reaching our kids through e-mail, text, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Discord, Twitch and TikTok. This Registry is an excellent resource for making sure our kids aren’t being served ads for alcohol, tobacco/vaping, online gambling, pornography or marijuana.

STUDENT PICK UP AFTER SCHOOL / PARKING
As a reminder at the end of the school day, students must be picked up in the parent loop on the south end of the school off Tienken Road. If the student can not be picked up in the loop, please park in the Junior or senior lots by the auditorium or the pool. Please do not pick students up on the north end of school. The loop is reserved for busses and authorized vehicles with permits only.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
SAFETY AND SECURITY IS A TOP PRIORITY!
The safety and security of all students and staff at Stoney Creek is always a top priority. To help us in these efforts, please see the information below:
The safety and security of all students and staff at Stoney Creek is always a top priority. To help us in these efforts, please see the information below:
- Students can enter through 3 entrances: the Main Doors, the Athletics Doors, and the Auditorium Doors.
- Campus will remain closed throughout the school day. All grades will have lunch on campus.
- Students are NOT to utilize fast food delivery services. For example, DoorDash, Grub Hub, Instacart, or Uber Eats, etc. for food delivery.
- If students are traveling to other campuses throughout the day, they are asked to check out of SCHS in the Attendance Office and check back in when they return.
- Students are encouraged to utilize their assigned lockers to minimize their belongings in the classroom.
If you see something, say something. Please report all safety and security concerns to the Main Office Staff or to Officer Drehmer.

Students can obtain a work permit in the counseling office as well as in the vestibule outside of the main office. Make sure to choose the appropriate form (there is a form for UNDER 16 and a separate form for 16 & 17 year olds).
