CoTeacher Fordson High School
Hello to All my students. I miss you and love you. I hope your families are safe and well. So far, we are good here God Willing.
You students may be too young to appreciate just how good a relaxing summer read sounds to this tired old teacher. What should I read?
Should I go for an easy action adventure, or should I go for a complicated who dunnit? I should read non fiction; how to teach remote learning for sure. There’s so much to learn. I think Ill start with a great old master, but who? Socrates, Plato , Aristotle a,re all great. A contemporary master to soothe my soul like my hero Haim Ginot sounds so good.
Please start dreaming about what you’ll read this summer. Reading is proven to improve your life in lots of ways. Please peruse this summer reading guidelines from our district.
Mr Hedglen loves you and misses you. Enjoy your reading!
Goal +1200
At Fordson High School it is the goal that every student graduate with a Lexile reading level of 1200 or higher. The best way to improve reading is to read more. This summer as we reconnect with family and friends, don’t forget to take some time to read. If you don’t already have a library card, now is the perfect time to register for one. If you already have a library card, explore the amazing digital offerings and summer programing through the public library. You may not know it, but the Fordson Library’s catalogue is available online too! You can start adding to your “to be read” stacks now and check out the books when we are back to school at the end of summer.
Remember our school-wide goal is 1200+ by graduation. Reading at that level prepares everyone for the world after high school! All careers require a minimum Lexile level of 1200.
In the fall, all Fordson students will take the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) to determine their Lexile level. This is an opportunity to learn about your current reading level and set personal goals to reach 1200+! At Fordson we want every student to be successful and grow as readers each year!

These cards will allow access to all Dearborn Public Library electronic materials.

Class of 2020 how can we have 10 seniors producing less than 50%? You’re killing me over here guys. “Pick up the phone, its me calling your parents.”
We are lucky to have such great students. We will always remember Class of 2020. Let’s work hard, finish strong, and get ‘er done. Some of you are reaching out to say you’re having internet problems. We are taking that into consideration, but we still want your best under these circumstances. I miss you all and contact me if you need anything. See you soon God Willing.
