Hello,

April 6th through April 10th is spring break for the Dearborn Public Schools. During this week, any work given to your child is not mandatory, but optional. Students will continue their distance learning on Monday, April 13 to the end of the school year. A new calendar will be provided and new information on what is expected will be given on the 13th. Please remember that teachers will not be available during spring break.

Please stay safe and take care.

The Elementary Report Cards for Marking Period 3 are currently being processed and will be available to parents in ParentConnect, Monday April 6, 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 the (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 the “report card marks” module.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Hope you are staying safe and healthy.

• I hope you all are staying safe and healthy during this new reality. I miss all my students SO MUCH!
• Thank you for your continued effort with home learning. I hope your children are completing their daily learning using the calendar I posted/sent.
• I have been looking at student activity on both IXL and RazKids. I contacted families of students who have not been active or have not been able to login. Please let me know if you are still having issues with those sites.
• Do not worry about the Mystery Science site on the calendar. Students are unable to access it at home. Instead, do the other activities listed on Fridays.

Chromebook pick up will be on Monday March 23rd at 9:00 at River Oaks. Please use the pickup/drop lane. Parents will stay in their car and a staff member will assist you in checking a chromebook out.  If possible, please wear gloves and remain at least six feet from staff. This will be the last opportunity to check one out. 

Our amazing resource team has been posting info. and resources daily that you may want to use with your child at home. If you would like, please join their blog:

• Chromebooks will be available for pick up tomorrow at 9 a.m. at River Oaks.
• This will be a drive through pick up. You do not have to get out of your car; the chromebook will be handed to you.
• One chromebook per RO family.
• The chromebooks will need WiFi to work.
• You are responsible for any damages. Please be careful.

The District is now loaning Chromebooks to families in order to support their child’s remote learning.  Please note that Chromebooks need a working internet connection. If you would like to borrow a Chromebook for your child to use, please contact me as soon as possible and I will put in a request. 

The district is providing breakfast and lunch to students. The location for our school is Dearborn High School. The food will be available for pick up during the hours of 10:00 am -12:00 pm.

Hello families,

I just sent out an extended calendar to families I contacted yesterday via email. Please use this version. Here is a copy of the calendar in case you are unable to access the pdf file:
