Detroit Public Schools introduces online math support via Microsoft Teams for students struggling with homework

Detroit, Michigan – Starting an expanded Homework Hotline service for the 2024–25 school year, Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) is making major efforts to guarantee kids success in mathematics. This program seeks to give students from kindergarten through 12th grade help with their math homework if they are struggling.

Longstanding district support system the Homework Hotline has been redesigned with an emphasis on mathematics. This change is part of a larger plan to improve math abilities district-wide so that children have the basis they need in a topic absolutely vital for both academic and career success.

Originally available over phone, the hotline has switched to a more interactive platform run on Microsoft Teams. This adjustment is meant to get beyond the restrictions of voice-only aid. Using Microsoft Teams lets students show tutors their screens, therefore facilitating a more interesting and successful learning environment. This approach helps teachers not only improve their support but also allow them to handle particular problems students could run across with their homework.

The service, which is completely free, runs from Monday to Thursday, between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. This timetable is designed to serve students beyond school hours, thus offering assistance exactly when most needed. Students can either call in 313.462.2305 and use Conference ID 724 999 656# or link via Microsoft Teams on their laptops to access the hotline.

Understanding the several demands of its student body, DPSCD keeps providing bilingual support in Spanish and Exceptional Student Education (ESE). This inclusive strategy guarantees that every student, in regardless of their main language or educational requirements, has access to the tools required to achieve in their studies.

Although the hotline now concentrates on math, DPSCD has stated intentions to soon create additional assistance lines for reading and English language arts (ELA). This growth will help the district to keep its dedication to meet the whole educational requirements of its students.
