Welcome Parents!

Parental involvement is one of the keys to the success of a school district. Ypsilanti Public Schools offers parents a variety of venues to support and encourage the learning process. Each school has an organized parent-teacher group that works in tandem with building administrators to promote student achievement. While participation in the parent-teacher organizations is encouraged, most parent volunteers are found in the classroom reading to students, lending a hand with special science, math or social studies activities, sharing their unique skills and talents with students or chaperoning field trips. Booster groups, including athletics, band and choir, are parent driven and another vital component of student life.

The information contained on this site should guide you to a number of areas that will help you gain a better understanding of what YPS offers to our over 3,800 students and how you can partner with the district to maximize student success.

MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Parents:
Superintendents in the ten Washtenaw County public school districts are using a uniform guideline to determine school closings due to frigid weather. The group arrived at a consensus to close school when the wind chill factor reaches minus 20 degrees. Ypsilanti Public Schools will continue to use the same methods to notify our students and staff when school is closed which includes a phone call home and broadcasts on local and major radio and television stations. I'd like to remind parents that during this bitter cold weather to please make sure your children are dressed properly.
