Good afternoon, parents! I hope you’re all having a good day.

I wanted to remind you all of my absence this afternoon (the 13th) and tomorrow morning (the 14th). I also want to remind everyone that Friday (the 16th) is a half day. I am available 12:05PM to 6:15PM to run Kids Club.

Also, I’m still sorry about the doors, neither myself or Joyce Monday (mornings only), have any control over whether the door is locked. I have had my own issues with it as well so I sympathize, but there is nothing I personally can do to change the door policy. Please just knock or call me (number is posted on doors closest to bathrooms), and I’ll be with you as soon as I can. For afternoon pickup, if you come to the doors closest to the playground, I will probably be able to see you and get to you faster. I understand this may be inconvenient, but these doors are locked for everyone’s safety in the building.

I am finally board approved and have received my badge, so the kids can now play outside during Kids Club (weather/environment permitting) without issue! We will resume our 15+ minutes of physical activity out there.

I think that’s all from me for now, and as always, you can contact my email at greimel@dearbornpublicschools.org!

I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday,

Jojo Greimel (they/them)


Good Evening, Parents!

I hope everyone’s doing well.  It’s always great to see and hear from you all.

Just updating to let you all know about the door policy among a few other things.

In the morning, the door is usually open because parents drop kids off for all kinds of reasons in the early morning.  I believe it being locked today was a fluke because that’s not usually the case.  You should be able to drop off your child through the doors nearest to the bathrooms.  If you don’t see us in the cafeteria when you come in, we are likely outside or in the gym.  I will put a sign up indicating where by the iPad.

If you come to the doors closest to the playground, I will be able to see you and let you in.  The doors nearest to the bathroom should normally be unlocked by the time afternoon pickup rolls around, but if it’s not you can knock on the door really loud or give me a call.  If you don’t have my number and you’d like it I’d be glad to give it to you next time I see you in person!

Circling back to the playground, the kids love to spend time outside and constantly want to be out there.  But the summer’s coming to a close, and the mornings are starting to get very cold.  Please remind your children to bring hoodies and/or wear longer pants!  I have no problem taking them outside and we always have a lot of fun, but I don’t want anyone uncomfortable or getting sick.

Finally, if you subscribe using the box on the right side of the screen, I believe you will get an email notification whenever I post an update!  This site is where I will be posting about our in class activities, week-long themes, and generally what to expect.  The best way to reach me would be my email, at greimel@dearbornschools.org for any questions, concerns, and/or suggestions.

I hope you and your kids have a great weekend, I look forward to seeing you all on Monday!

Thanks for your time!
