Ypsilanti Community Schools State of the District Address

This morning, there was an incident in our community that prompted a presence from the Michigan State Police at Ypsilanti Puentes Multilingual School. We want to clarify that this situation is unrelated to ICE immigration matters or our school. Puentes is still open. You may proceed as normal. If you have any questions, Contact Principal Celeste Green.

Parents and Community,

Join us on Tuesday, November 4th, from 5:30-6:30 pm for an empowering evening of connection and inspiration as we come together to celebrate the strength of our families, schools, and community.

Nationally renowned educator Principal Baruti Kafele will challenge and inspire us to reimagine what’s possible when we lead with purpose, equity, and collective responsibility.

Together, we’ll explore how our Strive. Drive. Thrive. vision is transforming learning and leadership — igniting a shared commitment to ensure every scholar feels seen, supported, and prepared to soar.
