Welcome to Virtual Learning with Dearborn Public Schools!
I hope you had a relaxing summer vacation, and are ready for an awesome adventure this year.
Iḿ super excited to have you in my class this year. My preference was to welcome you back in person but this year itś like no other. We will make the best out of it together.
To begin, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Mrs.Sharif and Iḿ your virtual teacher this year. Prior to becoming your virtual teacher I was a fourth grade teacher at Henry Ford Elementary. This is my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 1st, 2nd and 4th grade in my years of experience. Teaching is my passion and it was always my dream to become a teacher. Here Iám doing what I love most even in the YEAR 2020!!
This year you will see students from your homeschool and other schools. In this class there is a mix of fourth grade students from Howard Elementary and McCollough Unis. You will get to meet each other very soon.
We will have orientation this week on 9/1, 9/2, and 9/3. You will have the choice from 2 time slots. The choices are 9:00-10:00 a.m. or 10:10-11:10 a.m. It is highly important that the parents and student attend the orientation together. You will receive a link to the ZOOM conference via class dojo or email.
We are going to have an awesome year. If you ever need my support or have questions feel free to contact me via class dojo or my school email sharifi@dearbornschools.org.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Mrs.Irwa Sharif

VLP-Elementary Parent Welcome (Arabic)
٢٤ آب /أغسطس ٢٠٢٠
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/

VLP-Elementary Parent Welcome (English)
8/29/2020
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 10th 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,
