Families can use Enroll Detroit's new coordinated enrollment application now through April 30 to apply to as many as eight participating schools on just one application.

"Our staff is committed to finding out what it is families need, supporting them in the enrollment process, and always helping them find the answers they need to make the best decision for their child's education," said Bernita Bradley, Enroll Detroit's manager of Outreach & EdCenters. "You name it, I have tried it myself as a Detroit schools mom, so I know first-hand what it is families are going through to try and enroll their students. It doesn't have to be that way anymore."
