Spring Break!

No new work will be posted this week…if you are all caught up, take this time to relax and enjoy your family!! I challenge you to try 10 new things!

If you have any missing assignments, I would take this time to catch up! Miss you all so, so much! Be strong, stay safe, and we will see you soon!!

Playgrounds Closed

The weekend is here and although the weather forecast is calling for rain, we all like to get outside and get some fresh air. This is especially true during this time of year when the temperatures are on the rise and we all have been spending a lot of time inside. 

Many are thinking that it might be alright to get outside and have children play with one or two friends. Unfortunately, this is not something we should be doing at this time. The battle to stop the spread of the COVID 19 virus is on-going and gathering in small groups, even outside at the local park is not something we should be doing. 

During the State of Michigan mandated shut down, all Dearborn Public School facilities, including playgrounds, and athletic fields, will be closed to the public. Please do not attempt to go onto the fields or access the playgrounds.  If you are found on the property you will be asked to leave.  

The Governor has ordered that we all shelter in place.  This is not a recommendation or suggestion. This action is being taken to help in the effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to mitigate the number of people becoming sick. Hospitals in southeastern Michigan are being overwhelmed and are reaching the point where they are unable to meet the needs of those arriving for care. We must all do our part to help slow the spread of this virus and remain at home!  

The Governor did say that it is ok to go for a walk, run, or bike ride. However, we can not gather in groups at local parks or playgrounds.

We look forward to the day, hopefully in the not too distant future, when our facilities will once again be open to the public and we can all return to our regular routines. The District appreciates all of the support that the Dearborn community has shown and the tremendous amount of community spirit that has been demonstrated during this very difficult time.  Together we will get through this, one community, #DearbornStrong!

علينا القيام بشيء كهذا في هذا الوقت. المعركة لوقف انتشار فيروس كورونا 19 COVID مستمرة والتجمع
في مجموعات صغيرة ، حتى في الخارج في الحديقة المحلية أمراً مرفوضاً ال يمكننا القيام به.

Dearborn Schools will hold virtual board meeting

Dearborn Public Schools will hold a virtual board meeting on Monday, April 13, in compliance with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Stay-Home, Stay Safe order.

Board members will use cameras and microphones to connect to the meeting from their homes.  The public can watch the meeting live via the District’s YouTube Channel at https://youtube.com/user/dpscommdept.  The meeting will also be on the District’s Facebook page. A form allowing members of the public to submit comments to the board during the meeting will be posted online at noon on April 13.  The link will be available from the District’s news website at http://firstbell.dearbornschools.org.

“We are hoping this virtual format will still allow the Board of Education to conduct important business, such as approving the payment of bills, while keeping everyone safe and allowing our citizens to watch and participate, if they want,” said Board President Hussein Berry.

The April Board meeting will follow a more streamlined format with fewer presenters.  The meeting begins at 7 p.m.

Currently, schools are set to reopen on Tuesday, April 14, the morning after Gov. Whitmer’s shelter-in-place order expires.  The Governor has said she is considering extending the school closure, but has not yet made any official announcements about when, or if, students will return this year.

MEMO #COVID-19-023

Social-Emotional Supports in a Crisis

In a difficult time, kindness, caring, and compassion are even more important than usual. This is particularly true during the COVID-19 pandemic, when our students need the love, support, structure, and stability that we in schools—teachers, support staff members, and administrators–provide on a daily basis.
