Added dates for Chromebook distribution have been scheduled for Monday 4/27 from 10:00-1:00 and Tuesday 4/28 from 11:00-2:00. Parents who have communicated ahead of time with their classroom teacher that they would like to pick up a Chromebook will pull up curbside and their Chromebook will be brought out to them. A signature is required to take the device home. Please let me know if you’d like to arrange for a pick-up during one of these dates.

New work packets were mailed out yesterday with updated materials to continue learning at home! Inside each packet will be daily activities that will be aligned to each new blog post activity for the upcoming week. This will hopefully assist in providing visuals to supplement each activity at home.

The packet includes activities to work on using your core vocabulary board, occupational therapy activities, and information regarding dates and times when you have an opportunity to work with Speech and OT staff through a google hangout! All of these activities are geared towards our “Scope and Sequence Curriculum.” They will provide prospective on the fundamental levels of learning of our students, which include Daily Living Skills, Communication, Community Instruction, Employment, and Recreation and Leisure. Each packet also has daily schedule as to how you can complete all of the activities provided. As always, I am available for any assistance you may need Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

This simple meal to make addresses many skills: fine and visual motor, sensory processing, and sequencing! Visit Ms. Erin’s blog to learn about the skills involved in making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and check out the fun video’s she’s linked.

Dearborn Public Schools on April 16 received approval from Wayne County RESA to implement its Continuity of Learning Plan. The plan spells out how the District will continue to educate students during the state-ordered closure of school buildings to slow the spread of COVID-19.

To continue educating, Dearborn Schools will use a variety of tools, mostly online.  The District will again distribute Chromebooks to families who need a computer to access the work. (Parents should contact your child’s principal to request a device.) If families truly cannot connect online, then the District will go so far as to print and mail or deliver paper assignments for students.

“I have witnessed outstanding examples of distance learning and teacher to student interactions over the past month as we work through this unprecedented crisis,” commented Superintendent Glenn Maleyko. 

Students who truly cannot do the work will not be penalized.  This would apply, for example, if the child or a parent is seriously ill.  However, students who just chose not to do the work can end up with no credit for the class.  Any student who is behind academically can be recommended for summer school. 

School will continue until June 11th
