[email protected] 4 www.detroitk12.org LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT Dear Detroit Public Schools Community District Family, I hope this letter finds you and your families well. Based upon many conversations with our families and greater community, I know we are all facing a range of large and small hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a district, we did everything we could to support your children and the greater community during the height of the COVID-19 impact on the city by serving over 1 million meals to distributing nearly 40,000 academic packets to our teachers providing online learning. As we now direct our focus to the next school year we are as focused as ever to reengage your child academically, socially, emotionally, and athletically/artistically. The 2020-21 school year begins by ensuring that every DPSCD student receives a free learning device with free internet access. If you were unable to pick up your child’s device this summer, then they will be given to your child during Count Week in the fall. With legitimate concerns continuing to loom regarding COVID-19, the district developed, vetted, and is implementing a best-in-class reopening plan to ensure your child’s safety and our employees.
