The Detroit Public Schools Community District Homework Hotline is available for all students. It is there to support your student's achievements and offers a direct path to get the help they need.  Students and families can call in for help with all assigned homework. 

The Homework Hotline is open during the academic year:
Call 1-833-466-3978
Monday – Thursday, from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. 

It is closed during school breaks and holidays.

The District operates a Mental Health Hotline that provides online counseling to students and parents and is staffed by DPSCD social workers trained in addressing trauma, grief, and resource determination. Referrals for additional services may also be provided, if interested. In addition to online counseling, students and families will be able to receive referrals for additional services. This hotline may be reached by calling 1-833-466-3978 during the academic year from Monday to Thursday, 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Note: The Hotline will not operate on days when schools are closed.

If you are looking for mental health options outside of this time or when school is on a break, The Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) also has several resources, including a 24-hour helpline which can be reached at 1-800-241-4949.

Students have a right to be free from bullying and harassment of any kind. Cyberbullying is against the law and can result in serious consequences. If a student notices that they or someone in their school is experiencing bullying, please reach out to someone trusted at school - the principal, teacher, or school counselor. Bullying can also be reported through OK2Say, the District's school safety and bullying hotline.

Did you know students have civil rights protection at school? This includes the right to attend school free from discrimination and harassment based on race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, religion, height, weight, citizenship, marital or family status, military status, ancestry, genetic information, or any other legally protected category.

The Office of Homeless and Foster Care’s goal is to identify and support homeless youth so each student can successfully participate in the learning environment. Each student identified as homeless is eligible to receive access to District resources. These supports are put in place and are essential for students to excel academically and socially. Visit this page for more information.
