through Monday, district-wide |
 |
Parents who have not yet
selected a school will be able to tour ALL schools
across the district Wednesday through Monday during
regular school hours, with extended hours at 53 schools
on Thursday, Sept. 11 until 7 p.m.
Detroit Public Schools will host a NEW four-day “Open
Doors ” series inviting parents who have not yet
selected a school to tour ANY school across the district
during regular school hours.
Beginning today, Wednesday, September 10 through Monday,
September 15, all schools will be open for public
touring. Special extended hours will be available on
Thursday, September 11 until 7 p.m. at 53 select
schools. Visit detroitk12.org/enroll for the full list
of schools.
This new effort aims to boost enrollment district-wide
during the first two weeks of school as some parents may
still be in the decision-making stage. All schools will
showcase their academic and college/career-track
offerings to perspective families.
All schools are now accepting enrollment for available
seats for the 2014-2015 school year. Many of the
district’s application schools also have available seats
and will be open for touring Wednesday through Monday.
Programs at all grade levels include those in Fine and
Performing Arts, Bilingual Instruction, STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) program
offerings, Medicine and Science, Aerospace, Design and
Alternative Energy, Dual Immersion Bilingual,
Communication Arts, Technology, Agriscience, Public
Leadership, and others. Included are the state’s only
two public single-gender schools.
New enrichment programs offered to DPS students include
career track recommendations, Safe Routes to and from
school, interscholastic athletics, career/technical
centers, and college scholarships. DPS graduates were
able to earn more than $137 million in scholarships and
grants for the 2013-2014 school year.
The four-day “Open Doors” series is being held in
conjunction with Detroit Public Schools’ new “See It
Believe It” Retain/Gain Enrollment Campaign launched in
July to ensure the district retains all current students
and gains new enrollees. The new “See It Believe It”
branding seeks to demonstrate the school system’s
commitment to providing academic programs and
initiatives that families desire, and making strategic
decisions to attract and retain families. Ultimately,
what the district came to understand is that the public
needs to be reminded that amazing things are happening
in each and every one of its 97 schools every day; that
programs are being offered at Detroit Public Schools
that parents can’t get anywhere else; and, if people
take the time to visit/explore schools and interact with
the students, teachers and administrators in those
schools, they will see proof of this progress.
Parents or guardians who have questions should call
