Good morning Haigh families! I know families are anxious to get their children back in the classroom this week. I am excited to welcome them back and enjoy an “almost” full day of school with them. Please note that the schedule for this week is a bit choppy due to teacher vaccinations at the end of the week. Therefore, your child will only be coming “in person” one day this week. Special teacher schedules will remain the same as in the past until next week, the 15th where students will have 3 live special Zoom sessions throughout the day when they are not in class. I will have link’s provided for students in a newly updated assignment sheet for you to keep your Haigh owl organized.
- Monday–Welcome back “A” group 9:40-2:20- Please line up by our orange cone by the 3rd grade doors. “B” group please log on to Zoom at 8:40 to check in with me for attendance and directions for the day.
- Tuesday–Welcome back “B” group 9:40-2:20- Pease line up by our orange cone by the 3rd grade doors. “A” group please log on to Zoom at 8:40 to check in with me for attendance and directions for the day.
- Wednesday—Both “A” group and “B” group are virtual/remote; please login at 8:40 to begin reading/writing
- Thursday–Asynchronous learning day. This means your child does not need to check in with me but will have assignments to do. Please refer to the assignment sheet and Schoology for directions. There will be an end of unit reading test scheduled for this day for your child to complete. Please encourage them to take their time and go back in the text to confirm their answers.
- Friday—Both “A” group and “B” group are virtual/remote; please login at 8:40 to begin reading/writing
- There are no longer learning labs scheduled this week as we transition to hybrid learning.

Key items to remember for your child as they are coming back to the building:
- Every child MUST wear a mask
- Parents should be using the covid screener to evaluate if their child should stay home from school for the day
- Children should bring a reusable water bottle with their name on it. Water fountains are not available at this time
- Students must bring their reading book, all 3 math books, a pencil bag or box that has pencils/crayons in it, and a fully charged chrome book (if they borrowed one from school) each day to class. They will transport these items back and forth each time they come to the building. PLEASE be sure they have these items, as they will need them to complete daily lessons; we have no extra.
- Please pack your child a healthy snack. This is important and needed since 3rd grade has the last lunch. Your child will be eating around 1:40 in the afternoon.
Other reminders for the week:
- Innovation opinion essay is due Wednesday
- End of unit reading test on Thursday (Asynchronous day)
- The end of the marking period is quickly approaching (March 19th) so PLEASE be sure to encourage your children to complete missing assignments, tests, and quizzes. This week’s asynecerhous day and afternoons are a good time for them to review their assignments and make sure all are complete and submitted. I am constantly reminding students each morning on Zoom, but some are still not following through. You should be receiving a report from Schoology each Sunday; please take a moment to review this with your child. These life long habits will ensure your child is being a successful learner.
Finally, if you are unsure of a schedule or have any questions, please contact me via email halimia@dearbornschools.org I will get back to you as soon as I can. I am excited to see your child return to the classroom this week. While the schedule is a bit tricky, and their may be bumps along the way, I am sure that if we work together it will all fall into place.
