District News
Dear Parents and Guardians,
In Hamtramck Public Schools, we believe that the best decisions are made when the voices of our students, staff, and families inform them. As we look ahead to the 2026-2027 school year, your feedback is essential to improving the quality of teaching and learning across our district.
We are once again conducting our annual Culture and Climate Survey through Hanover Research. This important tool gathers insights from our entire community to help shape the future of our schools. Students in grades 3 through 12 will participate in the survey between April 27 and May 11.
You can preview the survey questions by clicking the link below. Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us build a stronger learning community for every student.
