Hello All 🙂 Those of you who have not turned in Assignment #1 (week of 4/27-5/1), the engagement question on the positive aspects of physical fitness during this time, please do so as soon as possible. For those of you that have, I’ve read through and checked in all of them. Keep up the good work!

Reminder: Make sure you are doing your daily workouts and documenting them on your checklists which are due Friday, May 1. Please submit the checklists through Google Classroom.

Stay healthy and safe!

Assignments #1 and #2 for this week have been posted in Google Classroom.

All Google Meets for this week, April 27-May 1, for the PE Department have been cancelled. Our department is working on a new platform so we can engage with our students in a safe learning environment. However, we will continue to use Google Classroom for our weekly assignments.

As soon as we work out the details of our new form of video conferencing, I will give you the details. I look forward to seeing you all again next week. Assignment #1, April 27-May 1, is in place of our Google Meet for this week.

I hope everyone is doing well. It was nice to see most of my students on Google Meet. Students are doing a great job using the Google Classroom format. I look forward to receiving the documented workouts from this week on Friday – Google Classroom Assignment #2. Stay safe!

Parents and Students,

If you haven’t already done so, please sign up for Google Classroom for your respective PE class hour. We begin meeting today. Your assignments for the week are already set in Google Classroom.

Each Google Classroom code can be found in your email. The Google Meet schedule is also in your email. The Meet Link can be found on our Google Classroom homepage in the shaded area near the top.

Look forward to seeing you then!

You may have seen information from Dearborn Public Schools about the approval of our Continuity of Learning Plan by Wayne County RESA.

In short, the work now counts starting Monday. Students must check in twice each week with each of their teachers at the teacher’s scheduled time, and they must turn in their assignments in order to get credit. Students who are not checking in and who are not doing their work may not earn credit. 

Here is what the learning plan will look like for DHS students beginning Monday, April 20:

• Students need to check in with their teachers twice a week. (Teachers are sharing their expectations for student check ins using the same platforms they have been using to communicate with students: iBlogs, Google Classroom, iLearn, and Remind.)
• Teachers and students can use the following schedule below to arrange check in times.

• Students who are checking in regularly and passing 75% of their assignments have the ability to earn an “A” on their report card for semester 2.
• There will be no final exams for semester 2.
• Last day for classwork for seniors will be May 21.

For students who need Chromebooks, there is another Chromebook distribution at Dearborn High School tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, April 22 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

If students are unable to check in or complete assignments, please be sure to communicate with counselors and teachers.

Students and Parents,

Hopefully this week’s workouts went well. I look forward to receiving your checklists sometime today.

BEGINNING NEXT WEEK, MONDAY APRIL 20:

Physical Education will be moving to a Google Classroom format. The assignments will still be the same. We will be using the same checklist to document workouts only it will be returned by way of Google Classroom. Students will be asked to join their respective class and will use the following class-specific codes that were sent today via email.

Also, beginning next week through the end of the semester, we will be using Google Hangout to have face-to-face time where we can discuss our workouts, ask and answer questions, etc. Google Hangout time for each class is as follows:

1st hour – every Monday at 1:00 p.m.

2nd hour – every Monday at 1:40 p.m

3rd hour – every Monday at 2:20 p.m.

4th hour – every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.

6th hour – every Tuesday at 2:20 p.m.

We will also have office hours on Wednesdays for 1st-3rd hours from 1:00-3:00 p.m. and Thursdays for 4th-6th hours from 1:00-3:00 p.m.

As always, if you have any questions, you can email me, write on my blog or send me a message through Google Classroom.

Hope you are all safe and well!
