We are already at the end of the first week! Even if it is a short week, we feel accomplished! If you have a new student in our class, they have made a great adjustment into their new classroom. We are so happy to have them here. Our returning students have jumped back in like they never left. In addition, we have two new paraprofessionals in our room, Mrs. Beydoun and Ms. Maha. They are a wonderful addition to our class already. Overall, it has been one of the best first weeks of school we’ve ever had!

That being said, I know busing has been troublesome. We are in constant communication with transportation, informing them on things that are happening on our end. We are hoping things will be ironed out quickly. If you have any issues, please contact transportation at 313-827-3300. The only way they can help is by knowing what is going on!

On Tuesday, we will begin our healthy lunch program. Students will be competing for points and prizes. Points are awarded for bringing in fruits, vegetables, water, etc. A further explanation will be sent home today. In addition, you will also be receiving a “student snapshot”. This is just to give you an idea of where your student should be, or what they should be working towards, upon completing our program. It does not mean they need to be there NOW – but this will give you a good feel of what we are working towards and what you can work on at home as well.

As always if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Have a great weekend!
