Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) in collaboration with the DPS Foundation is encouraging all families to be ready for the first day of school, Tuesday, September 4, 2018. During the month of August, the District will host community Pop-up Enrollment Centers, DPSCD Day!, accept uniform donations, and much more to ensure every student is first-day-ready because every school day counts.
