Hi Everyone!

I am posting the calendar today if you want to check out what we have going on this week!
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tPOtyK2pi7E5GsqeA0-oJLMtmIcbI1c0H6Bm5V7FFm8/edit?usp=sharing

• Do not worry about old missing assignments that you might have had on the Guardian Summary from weeks ago. Let’s just move forward fresh this week and see how it goes!
• There will be no Google Hangouts this week. I will record everything instead. I will still read Wonder- it will just be recorded now!
• I am available to answer back throughout the work day Monday-Friday 8:00-3:45. However, if you want to meet with me specifically or need individual help I have office hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00. We can schedule a time where I can call you if need be- just reach out to me to set a time!

Looking forward to another great week!

Hi Parents!

Quick message- I am noticing a lot of you are now getting the Guardian Summaries on Friday and are concerned when it says there are missing assignments.

If you do not hit the turn in button on Google Classroom- it will show up as missing, even if you did it and sent it to me. I am trying to resolve this issue on my end.

For the meantime, just try and hit turn in on assignments moving forward. Do not go back and try to click turn in on all missing notifications. Do not worry about those- let’s just start fresh this week moving forward.

What I did because of this issue is that I sent you a seperate email with a report if your child was missing any assignments this week. If you did not get a seperate email from me- you are all set! (I am trying to limit how many emails I am sending out because I know you are getting a ton!)

Hopefully this runs smoother as we become more familiar. My main goal is not to overwhelm or stress families out! All of you are doing a great job and you get all of your work in- Please just reach out to me if you are concerned or want to know if something is missing and I will answer. Thank you for your patience!

Dear Parents,

I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. Today we completed the first week of our new Continuity plan guidelines and I am seeking your feedback. Below is a short survey to help us better understand the needs of the community as a whole. The collected results will allow us to make some well-informed decisions moving forward. It is anonymous and greatly appreciated.

Stay well and take care

Ms. Tiba

Dear Parents,
If you have completed the survey to request a Chromebook, we will be distributing them on Monday, April 27 from 2pm-4pm outside the main entrance.  To ensure we are safe guarding ourselves and those around us, please remember to come alone (leave the little ones at home), practice social distancing (we will have designated stand points on the ground), wear a mask and bring your own writing utensil.  If you have not completed the survey, please click here SURVEY.
Stay Safe and Well! Thanks Ms. Tiba

Happy Friday! I have some important updates and information below:

Grading: If you did not get a chance yet to look at report cards for last quarter, the steps are online on the Lindbergh page! https://lindbergh.dearbornschools.org/
-Teachers are grading and putting assignments into the gradebook. There will be a 4th report card. Instead of 1,2,3,4 we will be grading with the codes M (meeting),P,(progressing)LP (limited participation).

-So it is very important that your child is participating as much as they can during this online learning time! I have another tool to share you with as a parent to help you keep track! I am going to invite all of you to be “Google Classroom Guardians” today. The invitation will be sent to your email. You can choose to accept or decline. If you accept- you can get daily or weekly (your choice) summaries on what your child has completed on Google Classroom and feedback. It is on one good tool to keep track! Here is a video explaining how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vl9ofDHkIpE

-Lastly, I will be sending home a weekly progress report today if you child has any missing work from this week! If they do not, I will not send anything. If you would like a progress report and do not get one today- please let me know!
