⏰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.
Behavioral Expectations:
- Disciplinary Code - DCP Redford has adopted a new Disciplinary Code of Conduct that outlines violations and consequences, which will be implemented and enforced this school year. Each family should have received a copy, as well as the acknowledgement page that must be signed and returned. If you need a copy, please contact our office.
CELLPHONE POLICY📵
- Cell Phone Policy - Families, please remind your scholars that cell phones and other electronic devices that have not been issued by DCPR will not be allowed during school hours. You should have received a copy of the policy, which includes the procedures for turning phones in at the start of the day.

Please look for your parent information to come home this week so that you can access your scholars account. This will allow you to stay on top of your child's behavior. If you have any questions regarding LiveSchool, please contact Ms.Key at (313)543-3226.
