Strategic Plan Letter from Dr. Zachery-Ross

Dear Grizzly Family,

I hope you’ve had a moment to dive into our new five-year Strategic Plan. The early reactions from families and staff have been exactly what we hoped for—energetic, thoughtful, and deeply engaged. Thank you for showing up for our district’s future with such genuine curiosity. If you haven’t had a chance to look it over yet, you can explore it anytime using this link.

Maintain Our Benefit Status
Have you completed your Education Benefits Form (EBF)?

Under the Michigan School Meals Program, students in the Ypsilanti Community Schools receive FREE breakfast and lunch each school day.

Even though all students receive free meals, families will still maintain a benefit status of Free, Reduced, or Paid under the approved program. This status is critical, as it is used to determine eligibility for grants and other important state funding.
