I will see the rest of you tomorrow! I am soooo proud of you guys!

Good morning and happy first day of school!

Today I will be seeing some of you to pick up your material. Please come to the small playground and find my table! I am looking forward to seeing you!!

For our first day you will be doing a short writing. Below is your prompt you need to answer. Remember to email me your work! hespena@dearbornschools.org

How are you feeling about being a 3rd grader? Are you feeling excited? Nervous? Anxious? Explain to me how you are feeling and why.

I can’t wait to read your writing.

Hello Oakman Families!

Welcome to 3rd  grade! My name is Miss Hespen and I will be your child’s teacher this year. 

Although this year will look different than years past, the whole Oakman team and myself are committed to working together to make sure that your child has a positive educational experience. We will accomplish this through the use of strong curriculum, relationship building and consistent communication. Please know that I am here to support your child in any way I can to help make this a successful and fun year! We are a team, and we can do this together! 

Please read through the following information thoroughly to ensure a smooth start to the school year. 

• The first week of school: August 31st – September 3rd 8:55am to 12:00pm.
  • The primary goals this week are 

1) To get to know each student. 

2) Teach students and parents the new technology tools. 

3) Explain student and parent expectations.

4) Material pickup from school (books, chromes, supplies/supply lists)

• Attendance: Student attendance is mandatory and counted at all live sessions. If your child is ill or otherwise unable to attend a live session, please email the teacher as soon as possible so that they may be excused. If the teacher is not informed it will be an unexcused absence. Live sessions are an important part of your child’s learning and cannot be made up at a later time.

• Grading: Students will be graded using the Dearborn grading scale (1-4). Students will be expected to complete work on time and to the best of their ability. Please contact your child’s teacher right away if you are having trouble completing assignments or experiencing technical difficulties so that the Oakman team may be of assistance. 

• Family-School Communication: All school-wide communications will be posted regularly through:

• Oakman blog (click here to subscribe). It is highly recommended that all Oakman families subscribe to the school blog if they are not already.
• Email or robocalls
• Schoology
• District Blog (click here to subscribe)
• Please make sure that your contact information is updated and correct in Parent Connect to ensure that you receive all emails and phone calls.  You may also call Ms. Amged for help (9am-1pm).

I will be calling families starting next week to set up a day to pick up your child’s material they will need for online learning. If you need anything please email me at hespena@dearbornschools.org

Thank you for being a partner in your child’s education!
