DCP-REDFORD May 27th

Greetings DCP-Redford Friends & Families,

Our academic year is almost near the end. DCP-Redford has plenty of fun days planned for the remainder of the year. With that said, we are accepting treat donations for our promotional ceremonies. Due to scholar peanut allergies we ask that all treat donations be store bought and unopened. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to contact us at 313.543.3226.

Join us at DCP Redford! We're now accepting new families for the 2024-25 school year. Click Enroll to get started today.

EARLY DISMISSALS:

1. Outside of emergency/urgent circumstances, please avoid early dismissals after 3:00 p.m. This allows us to keep our bus lot clear and prevents interference with instructional time and dismissal procedures in our main office.
2. If it is a last minute doctor’s appointment, please call the office at 313.543.3663 and let us know as soon possible. We try very hard to not call students on the PA system during instructional time. Please explain the procedure to your student.
3. The Parent/Guardian MUST COME IN to the Main Office and sign the student out. A picture ID must be provided to the Front Office Manager.
4. If the student is returning to school, he/she is to bring a Doctor's Note to the office to be signed back into school. The parent/guardian must sign the scholar into the school.

LATE ARRIVALS:

1. We ask parents to make every effort to ensure that their student arrives to school on time. Repeated lateness will result in a Counseling Center referral and a letter home.
2. Students that are late should bring a note stating the reason. Oversleeping and missing the bus are unexcused lateness. All students without a note/parent will be coded unexcused.
3. Note should include: Student’s full name, Grade of student, Reason for being late, Parent/guardian signature and up to date contact information.
4. Students that are late to school will do as follows: Enter school through the main entrance and proceed to the main office, sign in to receive a Late Pass, Provide Late Pass to the classroom teacher.

Greetings Families,

Starting May 28, all students will be allowed to wear shorts to school for the remainder of the school year with exceptions:

1. Shorts must be at or below the knee. NO EXCEPTIONS

2. Beige or blue khaki uniform shorts only.

3. No leggings or stretch pants/ shorts of any kind.

4. No ripped shorts.

5. No skinny, skin tight, or biker shorts.

Much of this information Parents, we trust that you will monitor your children's clothes before they arrive. If not, we will call you to bring them a change of clothes. These are still children attending school. Even in shorts, dress should be appropriate.

Please note that DCP-Redford is a uniform school and will be moving forward.

Thank you for all of your support,

Principal Johnson
