Hello Families!
We wanted to give you all an update about the status of Google Meets and how the Kindergarten team will move forward with live video chats. Unfortunately, Dearborn is no longer allowing teachers to use Google Meets or Zoom for live chats with our students. With much consideration for our students and families and the workload you all have had to take on, we have decided that we will not move to another platform such as Big Blue Button and teach our families/students something new. We will continue to provide our students with the best online education in town and believe this is the best method for our students! We will still continue to use everything we have been doing since March, but you will notice more recorded videos being posted on dojo with new content to watch. I will put new learning activities that relate on SeeSaw for those who have chosen to participate, and this is how we will do our show and tell that was planned for our meet tomorrow. Even though we cannot see each other in real time, we will still be able to see each other on recorded videos and will continue to encourage each other in a virtual way. If you would like me to pass along your contact information to another parent so you can set up virtual chats, I am more than happy to do that through dojo.
We hope you are all doing well and staying safe! We miss you more than words can say!
Love, The Kindergarten Team
