Chromebook Distribution

Dear Parents,

Last spring William Ford delivered nearly 300 Chromebooks to be used by our students!  The need for reliable technology at home is critical for students to complete work and interact with the classroom teacher.

For the 2020-2021 School Year, we are recommending that every enrolled student in the house have a Chromebook, laptop or an electronic device to use.  If your child already has a Chromebook then there is no need to do anything.  Students who received a Chromebook last year will not be issued a new one. 

We will have TWO days where we will be distributing Chromebooks.  Those dates are Friday, August 28th from 1:30-3:30, and Monday, August 31st from September 9:30-11:30.

Parents, come to school at the date and time above and see a staff member at the tables by the front doors. Please wear a mask and socially distance. Remember, if your child already has a Chromebook, or you have technology at home, you do not need to attend.  Please know your child’s grade level for this school year.

Regards,

Mr. David Higgins

Principal

Classroom Orientation

Classroom Orientation will look different than in previous years.  Rather than having a parent meeting at school for the whole class, teachers will be scheduling individual or small group orientations within the first week of school.  These orientations will be very important!  Classroom materials will be distributed, daily schedules, log-ins for technology, introductions, and much more will be shared during the orientation.

Greetings William Ford Families!

I hope you and your family are doing well and you are safe!  Although the beginning of this school year will be different than any in the past, all of us at William Ford are anxious to welcome you back to school!  As you know, William Ford and Dearborn students will return to school online on Monday, August 31st.  I understand you may have many questions.  If after reading this  you still have questions, feel free to contact the office at 313-827-6400.

Good Morning Everyone

🙏

It sure has been a very unique year. We began 4th grade working together to  build a strong foundation for the future. Yet, we had no idea that we were going to face challenges this year that changed our entire focus. But, the challenges helped us grow stronger and get us closer. This has been a very challenging time, where our kids and grandkids will read about it in the history books, but what we can truly say, it made us much stronger, wiser and more compassionate towards others.To my Kids, my wish for you is that you see the light in this world, believe in yourself, try hard in everything you do, and never ever give up. To my Parents, thank you thank you for all your support. Without you, we would not have been successful. I appreciate you, your kids appreciate you and our entire district appreciates you. You were there to pull us through during these challenging times, when we were struggling. Love you all soo much. Stay safe and God Bless you all.
