Hello DPC-Redford Friends and Families,

Educationally yours,

BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR VOLUNTEERS & CHAPERONES
All participants must complete and submit a background check application to gain clearance to volunteer or chaperone for any school related trips or events. Once submitted, please check your inbox or spam for the email to complete the process. Please be advised that the request for documentation is time-sensitive and will expire if not completed in a timely fashion.
⏰THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDANCE and CHRONIC ABSENCES
Attendance is extremely important here at DCP-REDFORD. Everyday of school missed is a great deal of information to catch up on for a scholar. Please give your child the best opportunity to be successful and send them to school each day, on time.
Chronic absenteeism is a big problem for most schools. Did you know that if a student has a 90% attendance rate they are considered chronically absent? That means they have missed at least 18 days of school. We must begin to correct this trend for the students here at DCPR. Please help us in our goal of decreasing the number of students that are considered chronically absent.
