Hello Families,\u00a0
I hope everyone is healthy and excited for\u00a0the start of our school year. This summer was definitely\u00a0different than past summers, but I hope you had special moments which\u00a0created great memories. As we start this new school year I want to say thank you for working with me during these challenging times as we continue educating the kids together! As we navigate together into this new school year, I understand that it comes with questions and concerns on how everything will look due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Rest assured, I will do my best to be in constant contact with all of you. If at any time you have concerns, you are always welcome to reach out to me through email, phone calls or texts.\u00a0 (Email\u00a0<\/strong>:\u00a0roskelm@dearbornschools.org<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0Cell Phone: 734 536 9994)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The first week of classes, for all Dearborn Public School students, will be half days, Monday, August 31 to Thursday, September 3. Friday, Sept. 4, and Monday, Sep. 7 are days off for Labor Day<\/strong>. Our half school days this week will run from 8:15 AM- 11:10 AM. Starting after labor day we will have full virtual days running from 8:15 AM- 3: 10 PM. The first four half days will allow staff additional time to learn the new online teaching tools, Schoology and Zoom,\u00a0 that all teachers and students will be using during online instruction. More information for student and parent use will be communicated to you in the coming week. Starting after labor day we will have daily live meetings with educational activities. The schedule will be shared later this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will this first week look like?\u00a0<\/strong>
This first week will run as an orientation week. You will find an instructional video or lesson on the classroom blog\u00a0for each day of the week. This will start on Monday to be used by families to engage in learning together. Chromebooks are available for families to checkout. If you would like to rent a Chromebook please let me know and I will get one to you as soon as possible!\u00a0During this first week I will be contacting families to give more details about the plans for this school year, along with scheduling the in-face Learning labs, and answering any questions you may have.\u00a0The Learning Labs will begin the week of September 21, and will be offered Monday- Friday. Students will attend either an AM or PM session, each session will be roughly 2.5 hrs long,\u00a0and transportation will be provided. Also, new contingency\u00a0plans will be created, which will pair with your child’s\u00a0IEP and provide the state with information regarding our plan for virtual and in person learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this is a lot of information all at once, but rest assured we will work together through this new process! All you and your child need to do this week is keep an eye out for my phone call, and check the blog for a fun daily activity. As we continue through this week you will gain more information about how our virtual learning and in person schooling will work! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you all for your time and patience. I am so excited to have you in my class and I can’t wait to work with you all! 
Very best, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
