Good evening families,

Tomorrow is a half day. We will zoom from 8:55- 10:30 and the rest of the morning will be given for students to complete their math homework. Enjoy your weekend!! 🙂

I’m so sorry that I was having Zoom issues this afternoon. Most of our session went well, but then I lost sound and connection at the end. For science homework, please have students do lesson one of their science packet, “Gas Trap.” They will need a clear cup or glass, warm water and some type of lid to cover the cup.

No math homework tonight unless your child did not finish his/her Zearn 20 minutes for the day.

I’ll be seeing Nadia, Ayah and Hannah at 2:00 for reading testing today at Snow. 🙂

Have a great rest of your day everyone! 🙂

Good morning!

Here is our schedule for today:

8:55 Zoom Meeting ELA

10:15 Recess Break

10:30 Zoom Meeting Math

11:45 Lunch

12:25-1:00 1) Zoom Meeting Science to explain the science experiment that the students will do at home. 2) I will show a slideshow from Ms. AlSaad. It is an introduction and hello from her. There will NOT be a course for Enrichment this afternoon.

2:00-3:30 Nadia, Ayah and Hannah have appointments to come to Snow School for reading assessments. Please wear a mask, bring your Snow chromebook and headphones/airpods and your math “Succeed” book. A staff member will meet the parents of these students at 2:00 outside of door 10 (lobby) to do a questionnaire. Students will be escorted by a staff member to my classroom. (Room 17) Students will meet parents at door 10 at 3:30 p.m. for pick up. If he/she finishes early, I will call for you to come and pick them up. Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day!

Press Release 10-Board votes to continue online learning in Dearborn Public Schools into October

16SEPPosted on September 16, 2020Author Katie Hetrick 0

Press Release #10/2020-21

Online learning in Dearborn will continue until at least mid October after the Board of Education approved the extension during its regular meeting on Monday, Sept. 14.

Dearborn Public Schools started the new school year on Aug. 31 all online until at least Oct. 1.  The Board’s vote on Monday night extends online learning at least until their next meeting on Oct. 12.

The district is also delaying the small group in-school learning labs it had planned to start next week.

The Dearborn community has had a high number of COVID-19 cases per resident in recent weeks, and the board felt it was not yet safe for the community to return students to in-school learning.  Besides the total number of COVID cases, the district considers the number of cases per resident and metrics like the percent of COVID tests that come back positive in the county, called the positivity rate.  The Wayne County positivity rate has risen to its highest point in months at more than 6 percent. 

Dearborn Public Schools has almost 21,000 students. About one-fifth of the students signed up to attend an online only Virtual Learning Program for this school year.  The rest will return to in-building learning once the board approves the reopening of schools.  At Monday’s meeting, the board heard different options for possibly reopening with blended learning where half of the students will attend school at one time while the other half works online from home.

The Dearborn Public Schools Board of Education will take up the issue of reopening schools again at its next meeting on Oct. 12.  The public meeting will start at 7 p.m. in the Administrative Services Center, 18700 Audette, Dearborn.  It will also be broadcast live on the district’s YouTube and cable channels, and community members will be able to submit comments online.  State law requires the Board of Education to reevaluate local COVID-19 conditions and reconsider in-school learning every month this year.

The extension of online learning also means that the weekly free student meal distributions will continue on Fridays through at least Oct. 9.  Food is available for any district student or any child under 18 in the household.  Pickups are from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bryant Middle School, Dearborn High School, Edsel Ford High School, Fordson High School, Henry Ford Elementary, the Dearborn Heights Campus (Howe/STEM/Berry Center), Lowrey School, Maples Elementary, McCollough-Unis, McDonald Elementary, Miller Elementary, Salina Intermediate, Smith Middle School, Stout Middle School and Woodworth Middle School. 

For more details on food distribution or for the latest information about online schooling, please visit the district website at www.dearbornschools.org.
