Read by Third Grade

Leave a reply

Based on Public Law 306 (October 2016), third grade students who are more than a year below grade level on the state ELA assessment are under consideration for retention in third grade.  Dearborn Public Schools staff in elementary schools have been systematically planning to ensure that teachers have the training to teach reading effectively and that students receive small group instruction based on their needs.  The current year second graders are the first group to potentially be impacted by the legislation.

You are invited to join the district task force to strengthen the planning process and to ensure that the community is informed and engaged in the success of every student.
If you would like to participate, please complete the survey.

Canned Food Drive

Leave a reply
This year we are helping the high schools collect canned goods to help feed the hungry. Please help us help them to reach their goal. If every student brought in one canned good we could fill all of the boxes they provided. So please help out. If we can fill all 25 boxes the school will win a popcorn party.

 

This year’s fourth annual Battling Against Hunger drive is a cooperative effort between Dearborn, Edsel Ford and Fordson high schools, with help from the elementary and middle schools that feed into those buildings.  The drive runs from Nov. 12 to 16.  The goal is to collect 30,000 canned goods for Zaman International and $7,600 for the Amity Foundation.

Thank you for your support!!!

Cold Weather Guidelines

Hard to believe that the cold weather is already here!

The guidelines we use to determine if students will go outside for recess or have inside line-up for arrival are a combined temperature and windchill of below 20 degrees.  Therefore, if the weather is below 20 degrees, students will remain inside for recess and we will allow students to line up inside the building starting at 8:30 am.

Please remember to always dress appropriately for the weather; students will need snow pants, boots, hats, scarves and gloves to ensure their safety and well-being when we have outdoor recess!
