Recognizing those who excel!

Even though social distancing requirements do not permit us to gather at Stout to honor those students who have excelled in the classroom, competed in athletics, and/or participated in clubs, they still deserve the recognition!

At 3pm today (June 11th), click over to the Stout blog page to watch honors videos for each grade level.

If you are recognized in the video, your certificate(s) will be available for pick up next week. More information on that to come…

Until then, CONGRATULATIONS to everyone for wrapping up the most unusual of school years! Have an enjoyable, safe, and healthy summer!

Yes! You do have summer learning!

The decision was finally made to require summer learning in ELA and math for all Dearborn students in an attempt to prevent further learning drop off over the summer. Research shows that sometimes the amount of learning lost over a summer can be as much as a full year of schooling! That is too much to risk.

Here is all you need to know about what’s required of middle school students: Stout Summer Learning Presentation

The presentation contains links to directions and rubrics along with contact information should you need help or have any questions.

Summer learning presented here is required of all students. Students who attend one of the two summer school programs will complete that assigned work in lieu of these assignments.

What’s happening this week?

All of you have wrapped up any work that you wanted counted towards your 4th card marking grades. Now, teachers are working to update the scores in Student Connect to make sure that grades are accurate. We are also updating the recommended lists for summer school based upon those grades.

Final report cards will be mailed home.

Every year, Stout recognizes the hard work and effort of our students and our athletes. Even though we can’t be together in person, teachers have still nominated students for the awards. Tune in to the Stout website (and your district email) on this Thursday! The final edits are being made on videos that are being produced to recognize all of you earning awards.

Watch closely…if you appear in the video, you will have an opportunity to come up to Stout on Wednesday, June 17th to pick up your awards. 8th grade may come from 9am-12 noon; 6th & 7th grade may come from 12:30pm-3pm on that day. There will be stations set up outside to honor social distancing guidelines so you can safely pick up your awards.

If you have questions, your teachers are still available via email through this Thursday.

Stay safe and be well!

Who loves extra credit?

Turns out 67 (out of 131) of you do!

No one wanted the school year to end up like this. No one wanted you to have to continue your school work while at the same time learning how to organize a week’s worth of assignments times 6 classes. No one wanted you to have to do all that work AND help take care of your younger siblings OR worry about your family or the Covid situation.

But, like the champions that you are, you figured out a plan for yourselves. You organized your work. You kept in communication with your teachers via email, phone calls, and live class sessions. And now here we are at the end of this unique and peculiar school year.

One of your last assignments was to write your memoir, a free verse poem about a memorable moment in your life where you learned some type of lesson either about yourself or about life in general. 67 of you took up that challenge and wrote some funny, interesting, sad, and/or entertaining poems. I enjoyed reading everyone of them… and it made me miss you all even more!

Ms. Wooton and I had been discussing how much work you would have during this past week and we didn’t want you to be overwhelmed. At the same time, you had worked hard on the brainstorming and prewriting so we didn’t want to give up on the story you were preparing to tell. So we decided to still assign the memoir poem.

For each of you who took the time to complete the assignment, you deserve to be rewarded for your hard work and perseverance. We want your final grade to reflect the hard work and effort you put in during the past 11 weeks, so…

THE MEMOIR POEM IS EXTRA CREDIT!

Congratulations to each of you who earned those points. They are well deserved. The points will help boost your overall grade!

If you didn’t do the poem, this is a benefit for you as well since the loss of points will not hurt your grade. In fairness to those who followed the due dates, late submissions for extra credit will not be accepted.

Now, take another look at your Student Connect. You have only until Sunday, June 7th to complete any work for any class that you want counted for this card marking. DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

I’m proud of all of you! Finish the school year on a strong note!

If you have library books or textbooks at home…

… they need to be returned next week when you come to pick up your locker possessions.

Kindly place all of the books in a shopping bag that can be handed to the staff member who brings out your locker bag.

Mrs. Hankins, our media specialist, is very eager to get all of the library books back on the shelves. While we’ve been quarantining, she’s started to dabble in film production! Take a look…
