While at home, I’m asking that students do the following activities that we will be sharing during our class meetings. They can write them in a notebook or on a piece of paper.

• Monday: Make a list of up to ten fun things you did this summer and circle your favorite three.
• Tuesday: Write a paragraph introducing yourself to your teacher.
• Wednesday: Write your opinion about online learning. What do you like and dislike about it?
• Thursday: Write three things that you are nervous about in third grade and one thing you are looking forward to this year.

Students and Parents will be using Schoology as the place to start. Parent and student accounts will be coming soon.

Dear Elementary Parents/Guardians, 

Welcome to another exciting school year and to the Dearborn Virtual Learning Program.  Each new school year is a chance to begin again, set new goals and strive to be the best each one of us can be. As we embark upon a new school year in a totally different way, we are looking forward to working in partnership with you to help your child(ren) be successful.  This is truly a joint venture we are eager to begin.

Earlier this month, you made the decision to enroll your child(ren) in the Virtual Learning Program.  Your child will be taught by a Dearborn Public School staff member in a completely virtual environment while continuing to be connected to his/her home school for access to supplies and extra-curricular activities.  Please check your child’s home school blog to determine when to pick up supplies, textbooks and technology. Your child’s teacher(s) will email you soon with a welcome letter and instructions to log on and begin learning.   We will continue to work with each student and family to accelerate any struggling student.  It is important to the Dearborn Public School staff that each child show academic growth and experience success.

Virtual learning is personalized but requires self motivation and support from both home and school. Success in school is always dependent upon the school, parents and students working together.  With a 100% virtual learning environment, parents/guardians will need to support their child(ren) by:

• Reading and responding to communications from the teacher
• Serving in the role of learning coach for their child.
  • Ensure your child stays on pace, attends live lessons and submits assignments.
  • Support your child in asking for help from his/her teacher.
  • Check weekly progress on parent connect.
  • Support your child in accessing lessons and assignments in Schoology.
  • Review your child’s work and be aware of his/her academic progress.

Together, we can help each child achieve success.  We look forward to meeting you at the Virtual Open House on September 10^th from 6-7:30pm.  The link for this event will be sent out by your child’s teacher.   Please check the Virtual Learning Program website for more information:  https://vlp.dearbornschools.org/

If you have any questions, please call (313) 827-3024 or (313) 495-3787.

Sincerely,

الاهل / الأوصياء الاعزاء،

مرحبًا بكم في عام دراسي مثير آخر وفي برنامج التعلم الافتراضي لمدارس ديربورن. يمثل كل عام دراسي جديد فرصة للبدء من جديد ، وتحديد أهداف جديدة والسعي ليكون كلاً منا أفضل ما يمكن أن يكون عليه. مع بدء العام الدراسي الجديد بطريقة مختلفة تمامًا ، نتطلع إلى التعاون معك لمساعدة طفلك (أطفالك) على النجاح. هذا حقًا مشروع مشترك نتطلع إلى بدئه.

في وقت سابق من هذا الشهر ، اتخذت قرارًا بتسجيل طفلك (أطفالك) في برنامج التعلم الافتراضي. ستلقى اطالب التعليم على يدي أحد موظفي مدرسة ديربورن الرسمية في بيئة افتراضية تمامًا مع الاستمرار في الاتصال بمدرسته / مدرستها الأساسية للحصول على المستلزمات والأنشطة اللاصفية. يرجى مراجعة مدونة مدرسة الطالب لمعرفة وقت استلام اللوازم والكتب المدرسية والأدوات التكنولوجية. سيرسل لك مدرس طفلك رسالة ترحيب بالبريد الإلكتروني قريبًا و سوف تضم أيضاً إرشادات تسجيل الدخول وبدء التعلم. سنواصل العمل مع كل طالب وعائلة لمساعدة الطلاب الذين يعانون من صعوبات في  التعلم.  من المهم لموظفي مدارس ديربورن الرسمية أن يظهر كل طالباً تقدماً و  نموًا أكاديميًا ونجاحًا في التجربة.

التعلم الافتراضي شخصي ولكنه يتطلب تحفيزًا ذاتيًا ودعمًا من المنزل والمدرسة. يعتمد النجاح في المدرسة دائمًا على العمل المشترك بين المدرسة وأولياء الأمور والطلاب. في البيئة التعليمية الافتراضية 100٪ ، سوف يحتاج الآباء / الأوصياء إلى دعم أطفالهم من خلال:

● القراءة والرد على الاتصالات من المعلم      

● القيام بدور المدرب الأكاديمي لأطفالهم.      

○ تأكد من بقاء طفلك على اطلاع دائم ، وحضور الدروس المباشرة وتسليم الواجبات و المهام المدرسية.      

○ ادعم و حفز طفلك على طلب المساعدة من معلمه.      

○ تحقق من التقدم الأسبوعي للطفل من خلال موقع تواصل الأهل.      

○ ساعد طفلك في الحصول على  الدروس والواجبات من منصة سكولُجي/  Schoology.      

○ راجع عمل طفلك وكن على دراية بتقدمه الأكاديمي.      

معًا ، يمكننا مساعدة كل طفل على تحقيق النجاح. نتطلع إلى لقائكم في اللقاء التعريفي الافتراضي في ١٠  أيلول / سبتمبر من ٠٠  :٦  – ٠٠  :٧ م . سيتم إرسال رابط هذا الحدث من قبل معلم طفلك. لمزيد من المعلومات الرجاء زيارة موقع برنامج التعلم الافتراضي: https://vlp.dearbornschools.org/

إذا كان لديك أي أسئلة ، يرجى الاتصال بالأرقام التالية:  ٣٠٢٤ – ٨٢٧ (٣١٣) – ٣٧٣٨ – ٨٢٧ (٣١٣).

بإخلاص،

Dear Family, Friends, and Students:

My name is Mrs. Hammoud and I will be your child’s virtual third grade teacher. This year is going to be an exciting and productive year! Your child and I will be spending a lot of time together online so I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself.

I have had much experience in the field of education. I have worked as a paraprofessional for the Dearborn Public School District for four years.  I also have worked as a first grade teacher at Oakman Elementary, a second grade teacher at Salina Elementary, and a fourth grade teacher at Salina Intermediate. I have taught fourth grade for six years at Henry Ford Elementary which gives me an upper hand in teaching your child what they need to know to succeed for the following years.  

As a teacher, it is my goal to see that each child in my virtual classroom receives a quality education, feels special, safe, and important. I believe that it takes a partnership between home and school to ensure the best education for your child. Let’s work as a team to create a positive experience for your child. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me by email at hammouR@dearbornschools.org.  Also, please subscribe to my iBlog at iblog.dearbornschools.org/hammour, you will find upcoming events and school news for now until the new platform is up and running. Again, I look forward to meeting you and your child virtually and making this a successful year for everyone.

This will be a new situation for all of us this year, but  I am ready to get the learning started.  Here are items you need to know to help your child succeed. This year all Dearborn Public Schools students will be using a platform called Schoology.  This will make it easier for all parents and teachers.  All assignments, lesson plans, and communication will be given through here. Also, all of our Virtual live lessons will be on Zoom this year. If you would like to download the app, this will be helpful. You will also be able to access this on the Chromebook.

On Monday, August 31 I will be emailing or calling parents to schedule an appointment with you on Zoom.  There will be no live teaching the first week of school. This week your child will have independent learning activities that are expected to be completed, we will discuss them the following week.  Please, don’t forget to sign up to your child’s school iblog for further information about receiving student resources and materials, technology information and learning expectations. Also, make sure you follow up with your child’s school as to when pick up day and time will be for your child’s materials.

The first day of school is Monday, August 31. This first week of school will be all half days; Monday through Thursday from 8:55 am-11:55 am. We will have no school on  Friday, September 4th through Monday, September 7th due to the Labor Day Holiday weekend. Our first full day will start September, Tuesday, 8th.

I am excited to meet and work with each and everyone of you. Together we can create a wonderful learning environment for your child. 

Truly Your Partner in Education,

Mrs. Hammoud
