• These are exciting times for Graebner Elementary!

     

    Next year, a complete makeover of Graebner Elementary School will begin through a year-long reconstruction project. When it is finished in the fall of 2026, Graebner will be totally transformed to reflect the district’s vision for how our facilities can support learning communities and student success.

     

    While the reconstruction occurs, the Graebner Elementary community will be temporarily located for the 2025-2026 school year to Rose Kidd Elementary, located at 38397 Gladstone Dr. (17 Mile and Dodge Park area) in Sterling Heights. Full transportation will be provided for our students during this relocation. The DeKeyser Elementary community is currently at the building while their school is being reconstructed this school year.

     

    Below is an informational sheet that shows renderings of our reconstructed schools and answers several questions you may have about the transition. If you have additional questions, please contact our school or respond to this email.

     

    The future is bright at Graebner Elementary!
