I hope you had a relaxing and fun summer, but more importantly were safe and were responsible practicing social distancing, wearing a mask and frequently washing your hands.  It has definitely been a very interesting 2020 to say the least, but we move forward as a community and a district in providing an education to all students is our number one priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am very excited to get back to school, but like you I have anxiety.  We are not alone, however I have confidence in the district and the administration here at Bryant that decisions will be made in the best interest of the students and teachers.  I will also do my best to pass on information and communicate as I know it.  I understand that things will more than likely change often and the not knowing what it all looks like is the hardest part, but I believe that Bryant is doing everything to keep students and staff safe.  I believe that Bryant has a positive environment and culture.  I feel very lucky to be working here.  Bryant not only has fantastic and flexible students, but it has great parent support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always e-mail is the best way to communicate with me (kerrd@dearbornschools.org), however the district recently approved SCHOOLOGY which will be our new formal learning resource format for virtual learning.  This will help not only students\/parents, but teachers have really only one site for all your needs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, I will be moving to 8th grade for social studies and science so for some of you it is very possible you could be having me for a third year.  I look forward to meeting new students that I have not have had the last two years and look forward to building those relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, check the Dearborn Public website for all your news, frequently asked questions, CDC guidelines, calendar and the districts reopening plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, to all my students and parents this year.
