Problems and situations alway occur in the classroom. Most of the time there are 3 sides: the teacher’s side, the scholar’s side and the truth. I encourage each of you to reach out to your child’s teacher FIRST to solve the problem. If they don’t respond or if the result is less than satisfactory, then contact the office. If you come to the office first, Admin will go to the scholar first for questioning and then teacher for their perspective. That takes time. If you go directly to the teacher involved, it will most likely give you an answer much quicker. This helps in building a relationship of trust between you and the teacher. They are with your scholars for longer periods of time than anyone in the office. You will probably have your concerns addressed much quicker than calling the office first. A staff directory can be found in our Parent Newsletter.
PARENT UNIVERSITY
Calling all Parents & Guardians!
Please join us on Tuesday, December 17th at 9AM for Parent University: “Parents and the Principal: an end of the year review of 2024 and a look at 2025.” Light refreshments will be served.
We look forward to seeing you there!
5th - 8th Grade Field Trip December 18th "BEAT THE STREETS"
We are excited to have our scholars attend CHOICES, an inspiring play that follows a group of characters as they navigate life’s challenges and discover the impact of the choices they make.
There are a limited number of chaperone slots for this event. All parents, guardians and caregivers interested in being a chaperone must complete the background check process and be listed as cleared in our database. Chaperones will be notified by phone or by email if they have been chosen to accompany the school on this trip.
Thank you.
ABSENCES
REPORTING STUDENT ABSENCES
Please report your child's absence to the Main Office at (313) 543-3226 any time your child will not be in school.
EARLY PICK UP AND DISMISSAL
Early pick-ups hinder your scholar’s academic progression because they will miss important instruction. To prevent the loss of instructional time, early pick up will end at 3:00 P.M. Scholars will be released to the parents in the pick-up line at 3:30 pm. Walkers will be released at 3:30 pm.
At DCP-Redford, all of our students are scholars. Our scholars learn about Art, Technology, The Fundamentals of Physical Education, and they participate in daily enrichment courses. Join us as we help to fuel our students’ dreams with: data driven instruction, brand new state- of-the art technology, and exceptional teachers who truly care about their success.
