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 Book Check-Out
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.

**Students will need to hear from the librarian before coming to get the book they placed on hold. Check your email! **Any student with overdue books can turn them in at this time as well. **FYI – the library windows are off of Drexel (opposite side of the building than Cherry Hill)
