Nowlin PTA is having a virtual book fair starting Monday, April 20th. Please take a look at some great books for purchase for your child!

April 6th through April 10th is spring break for the Dearborn Public Schools. During this week students will not need to complete any on-line assignments and teachers will not be available. Students and teachers are on break starting Monday April 6th and continuing through Friday April 10.  

This is only for the week of April 6th through the 10th.   
Students will continue their distance learning on Monday, April 13, and teachers will once again be available to deliver on-line and distance learning. 

Once again, all on-line and distance learning will resume on April 13 and continue until the end of the school year.   

Please remember that we must all do our part to stop the spread of the COVID 19 virus. Please stay home, stay safe.

Since the weather is getting warmer, I thought I would find some interactive scavenger hunts to do outside, as well as in your own home. Each scavenger hunt also provides discussion questions for you to ask your child while finding the items. I have sent an email with the attached scavenger hunts.

Again please feel free to contact me through Dojo or email me at gaulk@dearbornschools.com. 

Thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy.

All Schools will now be closed THROUGH April 13.  We were planning to return that day, but now are scheduled to return Tuesday, April 14. 

Free meal distributions will continue during the shelter-in-place period.  Providing food is an “essential service.” In fact, we now are planning to extend the meal distribution through our spring break, so food will be handed out Monday to Friday through at least April 13.

Dearborn Public Library has set up a way for residents of Dearborn/Dearborn Heights to remotely register for temporary Dearborn Public Library cards.  These cards will allow access to all Dearborn Public Library electronic materials.  Instructions and highlights of available eResources is available through the following link:  https://dearbornlibrary.org/wordpress/need-a-temporary-library-card/

Food distribution has begun at the following schools from 10:00am-12:00pm: Dearborn High, Edsel Ford High, Fordson High, Woodworth, Salina Inter. & McCollough/Unis 

This will be as “grab & go” breakfast and lunch bags, students do not need to pick-up, one person from a family can go and pick up food bags for all children 18 and under in their family. This will be on the Honor System, no lunch cards will be needed!

Nowlin families who need chromebooks can get them tomorrow, March 17th, 2020. Please fill out the form on the Nowlin blog (https://nowlin.dearbornschools.org/school-news/), which can be accessed on your phone. The school will be passing the chromebooks out from 10am-12pm tomorrow.
