I hope everyone enjoyed some fun and relaxation this summer!

Monday, August 31 – Advisory teachers will be contacting their students/parents by phone.

Tuesday, September 1 – Students will follow the half-day schedule (below). Seventh graders will be meeting with all of their classes virtually via Schoology/Zoom.

Wednesday, September 2 – No Zoom meetings for seventh graders. Teachers will be at Bryant from 8:30-11:30 distributing materials to students/families.  You may also pick up a Chromebook if needed. Be sure to come and also say “hi” to your teachers!

Thursday, September 3 – same schedule as Tuesday

Friday, September 4 – No School

Monday, September 7 – No School

1) To get to your Schoology courses, you need to go to dearbornschools.org, then go to the Student Portal page, and click the Schoology link. Sign in with Google using your district username and password.

2) Once you are in Schoology, click on Courses near the top or “My Courses” at the right. As you are looking at the courses be sure you select the version of the course that shows “S1” in the title or you may notice “SQ1” in the technical name for the course which is just below the title.

As an example, my first hour math course says the title “7th Grade Math S1” and below it says “Per1-SQ1-Sec10”.  S1 stands for semester 1, Per1 stands for period 1 (1st hour), SQ1 stands for semester/quarter 1, Sec 10 stands for section 10 (which means nothing for us teachers and students…it is for scheduling purposes)

3) Once you have clicked the name of the course, it will open and you will find the Zoom link your teacher created. Click the link and Zoom should prepare to open. You need to be patient as you wait for your teacher to let you into the video call. 

The half day schedule…

I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! Please email me if you have any questions!   furlowd@dearbornschools.org
