Van Dyke Public Schools

On Friday, Lincoln High School received a phenomenal gift from United Way and Comerica Cares - ONE HUNDRED laptops! The Superintendent's Leadership Council was ready to hear all about it and receive theirs, and the school will have the remainder for other students to use when needed. This donation will provide opportunity beyond schoolwork; and their faces show it. You can't help but see thoughts of "I can do my college applications!" and "This will help me to write, complete homework, apply for a job, find new information, etc." on those beaming faces. Everyone is so grateful. Thank you, @UnitedWay and @ComericaCares !

Our Homecoming weekend at Lincoln High School was a great success! Although pictures cannot accurately capture the many lasting memories, here are a few from the Day One festivities. The pep rally and game were a blast. We hope to have some pictures from the dance soon.

It's another busy month in the world of CTE. Today, one of our Manufacturing Week field trips was to the PCS Company. They welcomed our students, talked about careers, and even made a congratulatory basketball for our Abes. You'll also see three of our Dental Assisting students, Danae Lamour, Destinee Burns, and Amilliyon Crump, wearing pink scrubs for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Our students and partners are simply the best. Let's go, ABES!

Good morning, Van Dyke families! We are currently experiencing a power outage that affects the Kennedy Early Childhood Center. Our students in the Our World of Fours program will be sent home, and calls have been made. The power should be restored around 12:30 this afternoon to ensure regular operations for tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.

It's hard to believe it's been twenty-three years, but we will never forget one of the days our world changed once again. September 11, 2001 is a date that gives us chills. We remember the many first responder heroes and all of those who lost their lives with love and admiration.

Here's your video message from Mrs. Bognar for the week, with a theme of "What Does the Superintendent Do in Van Dyke?": https://youtu.be/-2C9ZNxw-Zg

In VDPS, we know our students are so much more than a test score. We are, however, proud and happy to report that we saw gains in grades 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in ELA and Mathematics on the Spring 2024 MSTEP and PSAT! We know how diligently everyone works and it shows in many ways.
