Below in italics is an excerpt from district communication that was recently sent to families about summer school this year.

We have received many inquiries regarding summer programming at DPS. While we are disappointed we did not receive funding to have more expansive offerings, we are grateful to be able to help learners who are most in need of a boost.

In the spring of 2021, the state legislature offered generous per pupil funding for summer school and that allowed us to offer programming for over 600 students last summer—the scale of these offerings were unprecedented in our district and would have been impossible without this special funding. State law also stipulated that all Michigan students were eligible for these programs.

DPS (and schools around the state and nation) are again receiving funding for summer educational offerings. However, the funds are coming from the federal government, we will have approximately ⅓ of the funding of last summer, and expenditures are restricted to certain subgroups of students who have been disproportionately harmed by the effects of the global pandemic.

That said, we are still excited to announce we will be offering a two-week summer program in August that will be focused on reading and math readiness in grades K-8. Invitations to the program will be restricted to students in qualifying subgroups who meet predetermined thresholds for additional assistance (using NWEA, Acadience and other data and input from staff). Invitations to the program will be made prior to the end of the school year.

As with all effects of the pandemic on our schools, we appreciate your patience and understanding while we navigate ever changing circumstances.

Starting the 2022-23 school year, meals will no longer be free for all students. In addition, there is a new portal for families to make deposits. Both applications and deposits are at the same location: https://www.familyportal.cloud/

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you!
