Welcome to a New School Year! 20/21 Here we come…
Hello Oakman Families!
Welcome to 2nd grade! My name is Peggy Earle and I will be your child’s teacher this year.
Although this year will look different than years past, the whole Oakman team and myself are committed to working together to make sure that your child has a positive educational experience. We will accomplish this through the use of strong curriculum, relationship building and consistent communication. Please know that I am here to support your child in any way I can to help make this a successful and fun year! We are a team, and we can do this together!
Please read through the following information thoroughly to ensure a smooth start to the school year.
- The first week of school: August 31st – September 3rd 8:55am to 12:00pm.
- The primary goals this week are
1) To get to know each student.
2) Teach students and parents the new technology tools.
3) Explain student and parent expectations.
4) Material pickup from school (books, chromes, supplies/supply lists)
- Attendance: Student attendance is mandatory and counted at all live sessions. If your child is ill or otherwise unable to attend a live session, please email the teacher as soon as possible so that they may be excused. If the teacher is not informed it will be an unexcused absence. Live sessions are an important part of your child’s learning and cannot be made up at a later time.
- Grading: Students will be graded using the Dearborn grading scale (1-4). Students will be expected to complete work on time and to the best of their ability. Please contact your child’s teacher right away if you are having trouble completing assignments or experiencing technical difficulties so that the Oakman team may be of assistance.
- Family-School Communication: All school-wide communications will be posted regularly through:
- Ms. Earle’s 2nd and 3rd grade blog – Dearborn Public Schools Our classroom blog.
- Oakman blog (click here to subscribe). It is highly recommended that all Oakman families subscribe to the school blog if they are not already.
- Email or robocalls
- Schoology
- District Blog (click here to subscribe)
- Please make sure that your contact information is updated and correct in Parent Connect to ensure that you receive all emails and phone calls. You may also call Ms. Amged for help (9am-1pm).
I am very excited about this school year. I hope that you and your child are also looking forward to this school year. I assure you, I will take very good care of your child while he/she is in my class. This will be a different start to the new school year and we will need to be patient with each other as we all learn new technology! I have taught grades 1st – 4th and am really looking forward to teaching 2nd grade this year.
Please know that I will respect and care for your child while he/she is here with me or online! If you have any questions please email me at earlem@dearbornschools.org.
