• As we enter this season of gratitude, the Detroit Public Schools Community District extends warm wishes to all of our parents, students, families, educators, and community partners. Thanksgiving offers us a sacred moment to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the many ways our community works together to support the success and well-being of our children.

    We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us each day. Your partnership—whether in supporting learning at home, advocating for our schools, volunteering, or simply encouraging our students to do their best—strengthens the fabric of our District. Because of you, our children continue to thrive, grow, and discover their limitless potential.

    As we move into the holiday season, may your homes be filled with peace, warmth, and moments of joy. May this time bring rest, reflection, and renewed hope for the bright future we are building together for every child in Detroit.


    Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!
