November is National Family Engagement Month, and Flint Community Schools is excited to celebrate the powerful partnerships between our schools and families. As we celebrate National Family Engagement Month, we take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to the backbone of our school-family partnerships—our Family Engagement Facilitators. Strong family engagement is crucial for scholar success, providing a supportive network that encourages learning, growth, and community involvement.
This month, we honor and thank our families for their continuous support, collaboration, and active participation in our educational journey. Let’s continue to work together to create vibrant learning environments for all our scholars. To read more, click the following link: https://5il.co/2zyom

Sometimes health conditions can come apparently out of no where. Sometimes people know about an underlying heart condition that could make them more susceptible to having a cardiac event. Other times those underlying conditions can lay silent until an event occurs. This is one reason why it is extremely important to have a primary doctor that follows your care year after year. See attached flyer to learn more about sudden cardiac arrest and how you could possibly save a life!
Supt. Jones, "Honoring a DTM Scholar": When scholars take the time to give speeches at a young age and memorize words that inspire and motivate, it should always be commended. We present to you, the future, Mr. Clifford Scruggs from DTM. He gave an awesome speech on Diversity over the past weekend at the 32nd National Multicultural and Diversity Celebration. Clifford, we celebrate you!!
