Mayor Sheffield and Detroit Schools Issue Call for Detroit Students to Be “Day One Ready”

Mayor Sheffield makes transportation free for all Detroit K-12 students. Day One Ready: enrollment help, Ride to Rise buses, ambassadors, and health resources to get students ready.

  • Classes for most students begin Monday, August 24; how to enroll now
  • Rides to Rise transportation for all students becomes permanent, now supported with $1M in state funding
  • City also adding Rides to Rise Ambassadors on DDOT routes citywide
  • New Ride Share pilot for students who have experienced chronic absenteeism due to unique transportation barriers

Mayor Mary Sheffield recently joined with DPSCD Superintendent Nikolai Vitti, charter school leaders DJ Cherif CEO of University Prep Charter School District and Ralph Bland CEO of New Paradigm for Education and other educational leaders to make sure all Detroit students are “Day One Ready” for the start of school. Day One Ready means being enrolled in a school prior to the start of classes, which for most was this past Monday, August 24, reviewing and taking action with any necessary steps communicated from a student’s respective school district, and having a transportation plan, which for any student in Detroit can include the Ride to Rise program offering free fares on all DDOT routes.

Mayor Sheffield has made Youth and Education a top priority in her administration, focusing on three clear priorities: absenteeism, transportation, and out-of-school-time. Underlying all of these is a firm commitment to be a fully supportive partner to all Detroit schools.

“For the first time, certainly in recent history, Detroit’s parents and students have their school leadership and city leadership all focused in the same direction of making sure our children are set up for success in their education,” said Mayor Sheffield. “Together, we are charging every child to be in school Day One! When we work together, our students, families, educators, and entire city are stronger.”

Enrollment: What to know

While most students have returned to school this week, some districts return the following week on Monday, August 31. To help families confirm their students’ start date and to help with the process of enrolling for classes this fall, the city has created a webpage with buttons that will take parents to the portal for DPSCD enrollment and another button to a list of links to enroll in any of the city’s 57 individual charter districts at detroitmi.gov/departments/youth-and-education.

Families also should verify with their district if there are any other requirements associated with the enrollment process to be Day One Ready.

Transportation: Rides to Rise continues, new strategies announced

The city’s website also includes details on the Ride to Rise program, launched earlier this year by Mayor Sheffield as a pilot to provide free DDOT bus transportation to all K-12 students in Detroit. The Mayor announced  that Rides to Rise will continue to operate throughout the 2026-27 school year and also has received a $1 million state budget allocation to support the program.

“Rides to Rise has been a tremendous success in removing a critical barrier for students that we believe will make a significant impact on absenteeism this school year,” said Mayor Sheffield. 

“DDOT saw its student ridership double in the first two months of the program at the end of the 2025-26 school year. I am deeply grateful to our legislative delegation in Lansing for prioritizing this essential program in this year’s budget.”

As part of a comprehensive Rise Higher Student Transportation Framework, Mayor Sheffield also announced two new strategies to help make sure students are able to get to school.  

  • Rides to Rise Ambassadors: Mayor Sheffield said that her office received feedback from several school leaders that supported Rides to Rise but felt that on certain routes, having adults on the bus dedicated to ensuring students get to school on time and without any issues. In response, Mayor Sheffield’s Senior Director of Youth & Education and Education Liaison to the Mayor, Dr. Chanel Hampton, said the administration has enlisted 50 individuals who are being trained as transit ambassadors who will ride the buses at peak times before and after school.

Each school day, 20-25 Ride to Rise Ambassadors will be present on DDOT routes to and from high schools. These ambassadors will maintain a highly visible, welcoming presence onboard buses, at transit centers, and near school bus stops. This initiative has been coordinated alongside the Division of Youth and Education with an eye toward students, executed by dedicated Transportation Equipment Operators, and also includes ongoing support from DPD’s Transit Unit and Neighborhood Police Officers.

  • Ride Share Pilot: Mayor Sheffield also said that her office heard from a number of schools in the city that have the highest rates of absenteeism that some of their students have additional unique barriers that prevent them from being transported by a parent of family member to and from school or accessing public transportation. Based on absenteeism data and additional engagement with Detroit schools, the Division of Youth and Education has identified four additional high schools and a cohort of students from each to engage in this pilot.

Beyond providing immediate relief to students experiencing the highest chronic absenteeism in our city and at the highest risk, this pilot is structured to generate baseline attendance and cost-per-student impact data. This evidence will contribute to the strategic basis for long-term state and federal student transportation advocacy.  

Student Wellness Resources

School leaders also say that it’s important for students to show up for school in good health for them to reach their potential in the classroom and in life. Two key issues that can hinder that are ones that don’t always get attention: vision and dental concerns. Poor eyesight can limit a students ability to learn and participate in class fully, while issues with tooth decay that require repeated dental appointments can be a contributing factor to absenteeism.

Detroit Health Department Resources

  • Vision and hearing screenings: Appointment-based screenings for children ages 3–18 are available Fridays at 100 Mack or the Samaritan Building. Call (313) 876-0134.
  • Back-to-school immunizations: DHD offers immunizations to help students prepare for the school year. Families can also connect with health services at the Community Health Fest on September 12.
  • Asthma and special health care support: Education, screenings, insurance guidance and asthma and allergy action plans are available for eligible children and young adults. Call (313) 876-4223. An Asthma Awareness event will be held September 19 at Kemeny Recreation Center.

La Alcaldesa Sheffield y las Escuelas de Detroit Hacen un Llamado para que los Estudiantes de Detroit Estén "Day One Ready"

  • Las clases para la mayoría de estudiantes comienzan el lunes, 24 de agosto; cómo inscribirse ahora
  • El transporte Rides to Rise para todos los estudiantes se vuelve permanente, ahora apoyado con financiamiento estatal de $1M
  • La ciudad también está añadiendo Rides to Rise Ambassadors en rutas de DDOT en toda la ciudad
  • Nuevo piloto de Ride Share para estudiantes que han experimentado ausentismo crónico debido a barreras de transporte únicas

La Alcaldesa Mary Sheffield se reunió recientemente con el Superintendente de DPSCD Nikolai Vitti, líderes de escuelas charter DJ Cherif CEO de University Prep Charter School District y Ralph Bland CEO de New Paradigm for Education y otros líderes educativos para asegurar que todos los estudiantes de Detroit estén “Day One Ready” para el inicio de escuela. Day One Ready significa estar inscrito en una escuela antes del inicio de clases, que para la mayoría fue este lunes pasado, 24 de agosto, revisar y tomar acción con cualquier paso necesario comunicado de respectivo distrito escolar de un estudiante, y tener un plan de transporte, que para cualquier estudiante en Detroit puede incluir el programa Ride to Rise ofreciendo viajes gratis en todas las rutas de DDOT.

La Alcaldesa Sheffield ha hecho de la Juventud y Educación una prioridad principal en su administración, enfocándose en tres prioridades claras: ausentismo, transporte, y tiempo fuera de escuela. Subyaciendo todo esto es un compromiso firme de ser un socio completamente de apoyo a todas las escuelas de Detroit.

“Por primera vez, ciertamente en historia reciente, el liderazgo escolar de Detroit y el liderazgo de la ciudad de Detroit están todos enfocados en la misma dirección de asegurar que nuestros niños estén preparados para el éxito en su educación,” dijo la Alcaldesa Sheffield. “Juntos, estamos cargando a cada niño para estar en escuela Day One. Cuando trabajamos juntos, nuestros estudiantes, familias, educadores, y ciudad entera son más fuertes.”

Inscripción: Lo Que Necesitas Saber

Si bien la mayoría de estudiantes han regresado a escuela esta semana, algunos distritos regresan la siguiente semana el lunes, 31 de agosto. Para ayudar a familias a confirmar la fecha de inicio de sus estudiantes y para ayudar con el proceso de inscribirse para clases este otoño, la ciudad ha creado una página web con botones que llevarán a padres al portal de inscripción de DPSCD y otro botón a una lista de enlaces para inscribirse en cualquiera de los 57 distritos charter individuales de la ciudad en detroitmi.gov/departments/youth-and-education.

Las familias también deben verificar con su distrito si hay cualquier otro requisito asociado al proceso de inscripción para estar Day One Ready.

Transporte: Rides to Rise Continúa, Nuevas Estrategias Anunciadas

El sitio web de la ciudad también incluye detalles sobre el programa Ride to Rise, lanzado a principios de año por la Alcaldesa Sheffield como un piloto para proporcionar transporte gratuito de bus DDOT a todos los estudiantes K-12 en Detroit. La Alcaldesa anunció que Rides to Rise continuará operando a lo largo del año escolar 2026-27 y también ha recibido una asignación de presupuesto estatal de $1 millón para apoyar el programa.

“Rides to Rise ha sido un éxito tremendo en remover una barrera crítica para estudiantes que creemos hará un impacto significativo en el ausentismo este año escolar,” dijo la Alcaldesa Sheffield.

“DDOT vio su ridership de estudiantes duplicarse en los primeros dos meses del programa al final del año escolar 2025-26. Estoy profundamente agradecida a nuestra delegación legislativa en Lansing por priorizar este programa esencial en el presupuesto de este año.”

Como parte de un Rise Higher Student Transportation Framework comprensivo, la Alcaldesa Sheffield también anunció dos nuevas estrategias para ayudar a asegurar que estudiantes sean capaces de llegar a escuela.

Rides to Rise Ambassadors: La Alcaldesa Sheffield dijo que su oficina recibió retroalimentación de varios líderes escolares que apoyaban Rides to Rise pero sentían que en ciertas rutas, tener adultos en el autobús dedicados a asegurar que estudiantes lleguen a escuela a tiempo y sin ningún problema. En respuesta, la Directora Senior de Juventud & Educación de la Alcaldesa y Education Liaison to the Mayor, Dra. Chanel Hampton, dijo que la administración ha enlistado a 50 individuos que están siendo entrenados como embajadores de tránsito que van a viajar en los autobuses en horas pico antes y después de escuela.

Cada día escolar, 20-25 Ride to Rise Ambassadors estarán presentes en rutas de DDOT hacia y desde escuelas preparatorias. Estos embajadores mantendrán una presencia altamente visible y acogedora a bordo de autobuses, en centros de tránsito, y cerca de paradas de autobús escolar. Esta iniciativa ha sido coordinada al lado de la Division of Youth and Education con ojo hacia estudiantes, ejecutada por Transportation Equipment Operators dedicados, e también incluye apoyo continuo de la Transit Unit de DPD y Neighborhood Police Officers.

Ride Share Pilot: La Alcaldesa Sheffield también dijo que su oficina escuchó de un número de escuelas en la ciudad que tienen las tasas más altas de ausentismo que algunos de sus estudiantes tienen barreras adicionales únicas que les previenen de ser transportados por un padre o miembro de familia hacia y desde escuela o accediendo transporte público. Basado en datos de ausentismo y compromiso adicional con escuelas de Detroit, la Division of Youth and Education ha identificado cuatro escuelas preparatorias adicionales y una cohorte de estudiantes de cada una para comprometerse en este piloto.

Más allá de proporcionar alivio inmediato a estudiantes experimentando el ausentismo crónico más alto en nuestra ciudad y en el riesgo más alto, este piloto está estructurado para generar asistencia de línea base y datos de impacto de costo por estudiante. Esta evidencia contribuirá a la base estratégica para defensa a largo plazo de transporte de estudiantes estatal y federal.

Líderes escolares también dicen que es importante que estudiantes se presenten a escuela en buena salud para que alcancen su potencial en el aula y en la vida. Dos problemas clave que pueden obstaculizar eso son unos que no siempre reciben atención: visión y preocupaciones dentales. La mala vista puede limitar la capacidad de un estudiante de aprender y participar en clase completamente, mientras que problemas con caries que requieren citas dentales repetidas pueden ser un factor contribuyente al ausentismo.

Recursos del Detroit Health Department

  • Exámenes de visión y audición: Exámenes basados en cita para niños edades 3–18 están disponibles viernes en 100 Mack o el Samaritan Building. Llamar (313) 876-0134.
  • Inmunizaciones de regreso a escuela: DHD ofrece inmunizaciones para ayudar a estudiantes a prepararse para el año escolar. Las familias también pueden conectar con servicios de salud en el Community Health Fest el 12 de septiembre.
  • Apoyo de asma y cuidado especial de salud: Educación, exámenes, guía de seguros y planes de acción de asma y alergia están disponibles para niños y adultos jóvenes elegibles. Llamar (313) 876-4223. Un evento Asthma Awareness será realizado el 19 de septiembre en Kemeny Recreation Center.

Recursos de Delta Dental
