The support and opportunities that lead to success in the classroom also depend on success outside of the classroom. Parent engagement, support from community leaders and professional development for teachers and staff are integral for providing a safe, nurturing learning environment.
-
Safe Routes to School
All children deserve to be safe on their way to and from school. Thanks to support from the Michigan Fitness Foundation, students in 15 schools across the district are able to walk and bike to school safely — and they are encouraged to do it to have fun and get exercise.
-
New Leaders Program
With the right training, mentorship and guidance, teachers can find pathways to leadership positions within the district. The New Leaders Program, supported by the Detroit Children’s Fund, has prepared hundreds of teachers for principal and assistant principal positions.
-
Basic Needs
Some families in the district need support and resources to make ends meet and manage the day-to-day responsibilities of caring for children. Through the support of the FCA US LLC, the Children’s Foundation and other donors, students and families receive uniform and gift cards for items such as food, healthcare, hygiene products, burial services and transportation.
