Happy Monday Vikings! We miss you all so much!

We are keeping consistency here to make things manageable for you.

Your assignment THIS WEEK is to complete:

1.) A total of three iReady “My Path” lessons. Remember, to get to iReady you must go to the Dearborn Schools website, click on student resources, click on CLEVER, and then click on iReady. Continue on with the next available lesson. You do not have to do them all in one day. You may spread them out across the week. However, they should all be complete by Friday.

2.) You will also find one “Teacher Assigned” lesson on iReady. This will be a 6th grade review lesson from earlier in the year. We linked a Khan Academy video to help you if you get stuck. If you have trouble, email us.

*If you are behind on the lessons from the last two weeks, let’s focus on getting caught up this week!

As always, contact us if you are struggling.

Stay safe!

Dearborn Schools has announced that O.L. Smith will be added as a student meal distribution site starting on Monday, March 23 ( distributing on the Notre Dame side of the building – drive through style – outside of door 17).

Students, parents or a family representative can stop by any of meal locations from 10 a.m. to noon each week day to pick up meals.  One bag will be handed out for each child under 18 in the home.  The Dearborn School student does not need to attend school at that building.  Students do not need to be present, and a designated person can pick up meals for all the children in the family.

The free grab-and-go meals include food for lunch and breakfast.  Meals for Saturday and Sunday can be picked up on Friday.  

Six other food sites opened on Tuesday, including Fordson, Edsel Ford and Dearborn high schools; McCollough-Unis; Salina Intermediate; and Woodworth Middle School.

Signage at each site will direct parents and students to where to enter the building.  Food will be near entrances, usually near the kitchen, to minimize the amount of time community members spend in the facilities.

The grab-and-go meals will be served at least through April 3. 

Happy Monday Vikings!

I miss all of you and hope you are doing well!

Here are your assignments for the week. Like last week, I will do a check in on Wednesday to make sure you are making progress.

1.) A total of three iReady My Path lessons. Remember, to get to iReady you must go to the Dearborn Schools website, click on student resources, click on CLEVER, and then click on iReady. Continue on with the next available lesson. You do not have to do them all in one day. You may spread them out across the week.

2.) You will also find one teacher assigned lesson on iReady. This will be a 6th grade review lesson from earlier in the year. I am also linking a Khan Academy video to help you if you get stuck.

*If you are behind on the lessons from last week, do your best to get caught up this week.

*If you have extra time, Khan Academy mappers is a great way to refresh skills based on your individual needs
