Dear Grizzly Family:
What an incredible school year it has been! As we approach the finish line, we are overflowing with pride and excitement. Looking back at the fresh energy of our first day, it is absolutely beautiful to witness the immense growth and learning our scholars have achieved. We want to extend a massive thank you to our families and community! Your dedication to helping our scholars arrive ready to engage and shine is the true heartbeat of our district.
Please take a moment to read the attached YCS Parent Letter.
This week, Ypsilanti Community Schools celebrates our associate/assistant principals for the leadership, care, and dedication they bring to our school communities every day. Often working behind the scenes, they support students, staff, and families while helping create safe, welcoming environments where all learners can thrive. Thank you for the vital role you play in the success of YCS and YCMS!
