Kids Club and Child Care

Please see the following information from Mr. Short regarding Kids Club and Child Care:

Morning Haigh Community,

In preparation for the Hybrid Model, I wanted to share out the google document below that provides registration information for Kids Club and Childcare. As mentioned in my video yesterday, I am hoping to let families know within the next week if they are an “A-Family(in person on Monday and Thursday)” or a “B-Family(in person on Tuesday and Friday). I know that this will help with planning ahead for your families. Please see the linked document below that will provide some background information on these 2 programs.

DRA testing schedule

This month and a little into February, I will be keeping one kid per day for about 10 minutes after our zoom to do a reading test with them. This is for me to see their progress and where they need help and where they are succeeding. They’ll just be reading a super short book with me and answering some questions about the book. It is really important that they don’t get any help from a grown up so I can make sure it’s accurate. 🙂 I’ve attached the schedule, it will be the child who is the calendar helper that day. Let me know if you have questions. (Since they’ll just stay after zoom, you don’t have to do anything special for them or remember that it’s their day, they just won’t log off when everyone else does.)

Schedule of reading assessments.

Weekly Update

Happy Monday Families! 
Please check out this video about some things you’ll notice on Schoology. Each week your child will be getting 3 or 4 books assigned to them on BenchMark Universe. Please have them listen to/read these everyday. This is replacing the books they would be bringing home in their book bags in normal circumstances. Please continue to do mathseeds, reading eggs, and raz kids each day for about 10 minutes each, as well. 
They also have the screener practice puzzle piece looking assignments. These will help me to know what your kiddo needs to practice. They aren’t graded, but I would appreciate if you have them do them so I can better support your child. 🙂 

Book Fair

Hello Families! Please click on the link below to browse our online Haigh book fair going on November 16th-29th! So many great books to choose from to build home libraries! Enjoy:)

Report Cards

The Elementary Report Cards for Marking Period 1 are currently being processed and will be available to parents in ParentConnect, Thursday November 5th, 2020. Following is some information on how parents can access report cards data in MIStar ParentConnect. Please note that if you have more than one child, you should be able to see data for all your children and you do not need separate logins for the different schools (if your children attend more than one school).

How do parents login to ParentConnect? To login to ParentConnect, parents need their PIN and password; this is how it is obtained: Parents go to the Dearborn Schools’ website (dearbornschools.org) and then the ParentConnect link. If they don’t know the login info, they click (Need Your Login Information) link and it will prompt them to enter their email address (as provided to the school and entered in MIStar), and then click Submit. This process emails them their PIN and Password. After logging in, click on “report card marks” module.

Haigh Habit 2

Learn our Haigh social habit of the month with our school social worker! For October, we will focus on Habit #2-Take Responsibility. I will be looking for students who can demonstrate this habit on Zoom:) Enjoy!
