Seal of Biliteracy

Dear Grizzly Families,

At YCS, it is important for us that each of our students attend school daily. School attendance is extremely important for learning outcomes to be met and counts every day, but on Wednesday, October 4, 2023, attendance counts for something more– it counts for 90% of our school funding.

Ypsilanti Community Schools via spe.schoolmessenger.com We have exciting news for YCS students! Ypsilanti Community Schools and the Ypsilanti District Library are partnering to give every YCS student a free full-access library card with no late fees for borrowed items. The card is good at any Ypsilanti District Library branch for as long as your student remains enrolled in Ypsilanti Community Schools. You don't have to do anything more for your YCS student to receive a free full-access library card. However, if you wish for your student not to participate in the free full-access library card program, please contact the main office at your student's school. Thank you! We are truly excited about the resources and learning opportunities this partnership will provide YCS students
