YCS/YDL Student Success Library Card Program Opt-out
We have exciting news for YCS students! Ypsilanti Community Schools and the Ypsilanti District Library are partnering to give every YCS student a free full-access library card with no late fees for borrowed items. The card is good at any Ypsilanti District Library branch for as long as your student remains enrolled in Ypsilanti Community Schools. You don't have to do anything more for your YCS student to receive a free full-access library card. However, if you wish for your student not to participate in the free full-access library card program, please fill out this Library Card Opt Out Form. Thank you! We are truly excited about the resources and learning opportunities this partnership will provide YCS students.

A Strong Start to the School Year – October Parent Letter
Dear Grizzly Families,
What an incredible start to the school year at Ypsilanti Community Schools! We are excited about the wonderful things happening across our district as our scholars continue to learn, explore, create, and grow. Thank you to our families, staff, and community for your continued support and commitment to student success.
As we celebrate National Principals Month this October, we want to take a special moment to recognize and thank our outstanding school principals. Each day, these dedicated leaders demonstrate compassion, vision, and an unwavering commitment to creating positive learning environments where every scholar can thrive.
We are grateful for their leadership and for the important role our families play in making Ypsilanti Community Schools a special place to learn and grow.
Please see the attached October Parent Letter for a special message and important updates from our Superintendent, Dr. Alena Zachery-Ross. We encourage all families to take a few moments to read the letter and stay connected with the exciting things happening throughout our district.
Stronger Together — It's Great to Be a Grizzly!
