Learning Labs

In-person Learning Labs begin this week. You will be contacted by your teachers if you are invited to an in-person lab. Virtual labs will continue on days when in-person labs are not in session. (FYI – Each teacher has a different lab day)

This week’s schedule break down

We are following the Bryant Half Day schedule during Synchronous time this week. You still have Asynchronous time on these days (except Friday which is a true half day)

  • Monday – B day (students have Jones)
  • Tuesday – A day (students have Peterson)
  • Wednesday – B day (students have Jones)
  • Thursday – A day (students have Peterson)
  • Friday – B day (students have Jones) – Half day, no learning labs

Your Zoom sessions are set up in your teachers’ Schoology courses. Should you have any Tech issues during Synchronous time (AM), you need to contact the Dearborn Technology Department 313-827-8400. Shutting down your computer (closing the Chromebook or computer is NOT shutting it down) or making sure you are completely logged out of all other Google accounts on the device you are using fixes most issues.

Bryant’s Library Now Checking Out Books!

Bryant is excited to start to offer curbside library service to Bryant students on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1-2:30 pm at the library window (off of Drexel). Books will be passed out to students through the library window, just like a fast food drive thru window. There will be a sign either on the window or in front of the window to show students where to go. Students would need to have no overdues or fines currently, and would need to place the book on hold using our online library catalog.
