I hope you are all in perfect health!!! All technology issues are repaired over here! THANK YOU for your patience! We will be holding online sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays of each week at 12:00. I am providing the links that will take you directly to the google hangout. All you need to do is click on the link from the device of your choice. This is part of our plan to continue educating while at home and student participation is mandatory for 4th period card marking. I will also update the new grading policy in light of the changes that have taken place. Please continue to send your child’s work through pics on email or remind! Part of the grading will also be online practice through Freckle and Raz kids for reading. I am checking logins to see who is going on 🙂
Please join in on our live lesson tomorrow, Wednesday, April 15 @10. Simply click on the link below and it will direct you to the hangout! I will be muting students this time in order to read aloud and teach. Please make sure they have notebook/paper and pencil. Make sure they use the bathroom beforehand 🙂 It won’t be long, they can join in pj’s if they like!
Good Afternoon, The Elementary Report Cards for Marking Period 3 are currently being processed and will be available to parents in ParentConnectMonday April 6, 2020 early morning. The report cards (in pdf format) will show in the Marks Tab as follows:
Following is some information for administrators on how parents can access report cards data in MIStar ParentConnect and how schools can help parents with login info if parents can’t login. Please note that if a parent uses ParentConnect, he/she should be able to see data for all their students and do not require separate logins for the different schools.
1. How do parents login to ParentConnect? To login to ParentConnect, parents need their PIN and password; there are 2 options to get this information.Option 1 (Screen below – Recommended):Parents go to Dearborn Schools web site then ParentConnect link. If they don’t know the login info, they click (Need Your LoginInformation) link and it will prompt them to enter their email address as provided to the school and entered in MIStar (Menu/Enrollment/Student Editor/Contacts) and click Submit. This process emails them their PIN and Password.
Option 2 (Screen below): If parents are unable to receive the email (no email, etc), then administrators need to provide the info, administrators can access MIStar Menu / System / ParentConnect Manager / Contacts Passwords as indicated below. Even though Option 2 is available for administrators, Option 1 is recommended because parents have to login to their email to retrieve the info and you can always add the email in Student Editor/Contacts if missing.
There are new assignments on Freckle for math and ELA. Please continue your daily reading on Raz Kids. These books are at your child’s current level and once all tasks are completed, they will move up to the next level. 🙂
Welcome back everyone. I hope everyone was able to relax a little during spring break. I know this is a different type of break this year but I still hope everyone enjoyed some fun family time, some relaxation and some much needed sunshine while it was out!
REMINDER: Google Hangout at 10:00 today! This is for us to see each other and get familiar with the process of logging and connecting! It is new for ALL of us, so please be patient and I will do my best on my end to assist. I sent out student numbers via remind and their password for the account is their birthday! 2 digit month, 2 digit day and 4 digit year.
