August 2016
Hi! My name is Ms. Lisa (Bonza),
I am so excited to work with you and your child. It’s going to be a year full of fun, learning and lots of adventure and I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us.
I moved to Dearborn from Pinckney, Michigan, 16 years ago when I got married. My husband and I have three boys that attend Dearborn Public Schools. My youngest, goes to Elementary school, my middle son goes to junior high school and my oldest attends high school. Although all of their sports and activities take up most of my free time, I always find time to foster puppies from the Taylor Animal Shelter.
I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a bachelor’s of science degree in early childhood education. This will be my seventh year teaching in the Dearborn Public Schools early childhood program. I’m so excited to teach your child and to watch them grow and learn.
We follow the Dearborn Public school calendar so please go to the Dearborn Public Schools website and print off a calendar so you know the days off. I will also post them on my blog and put them in the weekly newsletter. The only difference is that our first day of school will be Wednesday, September 7th and our last day of school will be Thursday, June 15th. We have no half days or late start days, our schedule is from 8:00am to 12:00 noon, every day.
*Our orientation will be held on Tuesday, September 6th from 6:00pm to 6:30pm at Howard Elementary, room 4. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you in person. Please bring the entire contents of your registration packet to the orientation. All paperwork must be completed and turned in, in order for your child to attend.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to keep communication open between us. I look forward to a great year together.

First Day Reminders
Our first day of school will be Wednesday, September 7th.
*Please have your child use the restroom before coming to school each day; less time in the school’s bathroom is more time learning in the classroom.
*Please have your child bring a 2 pocket folder with their name on it. This will be used as a homework folder as well as communication tool between you and me. Your child will turn this folder in every day and take it home every day (even if it is empty).
*The doors will be unlocked every morning at 8:00am for about 5 or 10 minutes. If you arrive late, please go through the school’s lobby door. I will not be able to leave the classroom and open the door for you.
