Dear YCMS Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well! I am reaching out to share some important upcoming events, dates, and information to keep everyone informed about what's happening here at Ypsilanti Community Middle School.

Title 1 Family STEM Night – Tomorrow!

We are excited to invite you to our Title 1 Family STEM Night, which will take place tomorrow, Thursday, November 21st, from 4:30–6:30 p.m. right here at the Middle School (235 Spencer Lane). This will be a wonderful evening filled with engaging STEM activities for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you there!

Progress Reports Sent Home Tomorrow

Progress reports will be emailed home tomorrow, November 21st. If you have concerns about your child’s grades, we encourage you to take advantage of our after-school tutoring program. For details about the tutoring schedule, please contact the main office. Students can sign up for tutoring in the cafeteria.

Thanksgiving Meal Assistance

Our Leadership Council students have created Thanksgiving meals for families in need. These meals will be distributed on Tuesday, November 26th, after school. If your family would benefit from this assistance, please contact me directly at cdavis9@ycschools.us. Please note, meals will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Additionally, we will be looking to assist families in need during the upcoming holiday season. While funds are limited and assistance is not guaranteed, we encourage those in need to reach out to me.

Madagascar Play

We’re thrilled to announce that our students will be performing a play, Madagascar. We’d love for your child to participate in this amazing production! Please encourage them to get involved.

Stay Connected

It is crucial that we have up-to-date contact information for every family. If your contact details have changed, please notify the school office immediately. Communication is key, and we want to ensure we can reach you whenever necessary.

We have 18 school days remaining before the holiday break, and I encourage all students to make the most of this time. Thank you for your continued support in making Ypsilanti Community Middle School a great place for your children to learn and grow.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Warm regards,
