Hello! \u00a0We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! \u00a0We’d like to welcome all our new students and their families to the class! \u00a0We’re looking forward to a great year. \u00a0Since we do have quite a few new families, I thought I’d post a few reminders to get everyone started! \u00a0 We understand not only the students are transitioning from a K-12 program, but so are the parents. \u00a0We hope this little “survival guide” will help get things off to a great start for you!<\/p>\n
FIRST DAY of SCHOOL\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n ** Please note, while teachers and staff start the previous week, we will be in meetings and unable to answer phone calls or emails<\/p>\n CLASSROOM PHONE<\/strong><\/p>\n 313-701-7985 \u00a0 Call or text anytime. \u00a0If you would like us to call you back, \u00a0please leave a message. \u00a0We do not answer the phone during instructional time. \u00a0If there is an emergency please text so that we will see it.<\/p>\n SUPPLIES<\/strong><\/p>\n LUNCH<\/strong><\/p>\n Students need to bring a cold lunch every day beginning September 6th. \u00a0Please make sure foods are nonperishable and\/or lunch bags have a cold pack in them. \u00a0Lunches should be brought in a thermal\/insulated bag. (Not a paper or plastic bag)<\/p>\n HOURS<\/strong><\/p>\n CALENDAR<\/strong><\/p>\n We are part of Howe School and follow the elementary calendar regarding days off and half days. \u00a0Additionally, if Howe School is closed due to inclement weather, we will also be closed.<\/p>\n JOB SITES and COMMUNITY BASED INSTRUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n Job sites and CBI will begin towards the end of September\/beginning of October, once transportation is able to schedule our runs. \u00a0This is a HUGE task and in the meantime, it’s a good time for the students to get reacquainted and used to a routine. \u00a0By the time we’re ready to go out, it’s not so overwhelming. \u00a0We are one of the only districts that provides this much transportation to get the students into the community, and we are so thankful to the Transportation Department for their support of our program.<\/p>\n MEETINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n If you need to meet with us we are happy to do so. \u00a0Please call or text our classroom phone to set up an appointment. \u00a0Showing up unannounced takes instructional time away from students and it is hard to focus on your needs when we should be teaching. \u00a0We can accommodate most schedules if we know ahead of time.<\/p>\n FACEBOOK<\/strong><\/p>\n Don’t forget to “Like” our Facebook Page: \u00a0“Dearborn Transition Program” to see pictures of the students and our activities throughout the year.<\/p>\n COMMUNICATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s very important to check you son\/daughters planner<\/strong> every night. \u00a0This is the link between us and you. \u00a0It will have job assignments, community based instruction assignments, field trips, etc inside.<\/p>\n This blog<\/strong> is published (most) Friday afternoons and will go directly to your inbox. \u00a0Please make sure you read it to stay on top of classroom information. \u00a0Paper notes are not sent home.<\/p>\n Remind System<\/strong>: \u00a0If you provided your cell phone number, you have been subscribed. \u00a0This will be used for group texts to be sent from one of the classroom teachers to the entire class, while keeping phone numbers private. \u00a0You cannot reply to these messages – they are outgoing only.<\/p>\n Facebook Page<\/strong>: \u00a0A fun way to see pictures of the students and their activities in the program. \u00a0Sometimes we will post other helpful information there as well.<\/p>\n Meetings<\/strong>: \u00a0We are happy to meet with you if you would like a meeting. \u00a0 Please just schedule an appoinment as mentioned above.<\/p>\n Language Assistance<\/strong>: \u00a0If you need assistance, please call Lila Amen at 313-827-3120<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Enjoy what’s left of summer! \u00a0Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello! \u00a0We hope everyone is enjoying their summer! \u00a0We’d like to welcome all our new students and their families to the class! \u00a0We’re looking forward to a great year. \u00a0Since we do have quite a few new families, I thought I’d post a few reminders to get everyone started! \u00a0 We understand not only the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":587,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/587"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/682\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/campd\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
