Parents,

If your child is coming to the school for any reason, please refer to this checklist as you screen for any symptoms.

Hi Parents,
https://www.kidsa-z.com/main/Login

We are going to be using Raz-Kids for a reading resource in 2nd grade. This is a resource we will be using throughout the year. At any time students can log in and read on Raz-Kids. At first, it will give them a designated level based on how they do with the placement quiz. These levels will not be permanent as there are many factors that can affect this. Once I test all students on their reading levels, I will adjust their levels on Raz-Kids. Once they have a level, they should be able to read almost all of the words on their own. In order for them to grow as readers, they need to be reading books at their level. If the books are too hard or too easy to read, it will hinder reading growth. 

Feel free to communicate with me if you are noticing that the books are too easy or too hard for your child at first, while I don’t have their level data yet. I can adjust any reading level. 

You may also request parent access by clicking the green parent button in the top right corner on the Raz-Kids page. 

The teacher’s username is nalsaidi. Their password is the strawberry picture.

I’m hoping that this afternoon/weekend you are able to help log your student in and bookmark it so it is easily available for them to work in on a daily basis.

Thank you,

Ms. Alsaidi

You’re not alone. Here are the steps to log into Schoology.

Steps to Logging Into Schoology/Zoom

You MUST log in through the student portal page of the Dearborn Schools website.

Do NOT use the Schoology App. 

• It doesn’t have access to the district provided domains and resources. It’ll redirect you to the Global Zoom site and not the Dearborn Zoom site which is restricted to Dearborn School Users. So that will cause an error. 

So…  

Step 1: Go to www.dearbornschools.org

Step 2: Click <Home> tab in the heading banner, then <Student Portal>from the drop down menu.

Step 3: Click on Schoology. It will ask you to login with your Dearborn email address

• (Student number)@dearbornschools.org
• Student’s password-It’s their birthdate
• If you can’t log in —call the Help Desk at 313-827-3003 or Parent Tech support at 313-827-8400

Step 4: Once logged in you should see your Schoology Homepage: Click <Courses>

Step 5: Click on our class tile.

Step 6: Click on the Zoom meeting link at the top.

If the trouble persists, please call the Help Desk at 313-827-3003 or Parent Tech support at 313-827-8400

Parents, if you are having trouble logging in, please contact Parent Tech Support. I am unable to answer questions during live Zoom meetings. I’m so sorry. The number is 313-827-8400. I am committed to working with kids and I can’t be interrupted when I am live. Thank you for understanding.
