Today at Henry Ford Elementary School is the last Chromebook Distribution. This time it is open to everyone. If your Chromebook is not working you can exchange it today. This is your opportunity to borrow another piece of technology if you do not have enough to share at home also. Please be on time. Distribution begins at 2:00 p.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m.

Please click on the link below for a detailed lesson plan for the week of April 27 – May 1, 2020, that needs to be completed daily by students. Detailed directions, links, videos, and daily tasks are provided. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

I will not be holding any Google Meets this week per the Superintendent’s directive. I’ll let you know when they’ll start up and what platform we’ll be using.

Dear Parents,
This email was shared with us by our amazing social worker, Zahra Zaarour to help our families.

Good Morning Everyone,

I thought this was a good resource to share with some of our families. There’s a new program that will pay up to $500 in utility costs for Michigan’s essential workers. THAW, or The Heat and Warm Fund, will pay up to $500 in utility assistance for any household with an income up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. Following the Department of Homeland Security’s definition of an essential worker, if you’re a health care nurse, hospital cleaning and maintenance worker, grocery and foodservice clerk, or bus driver, you qualify.

Please, let me know if you need assistance reaching out to any of your families or completing the form.

We need to work together to ensure our children are well prepared for the upcoming school year! I will be making phone calls week if work for previous weeks has not been submitted yet or students have NOT met at all for a Google Meet. Please, feel free to contact me for any questions or concerns.

Dear Parents and Students,

The special area teachers hope everyone is safe and healthy! They created iLearn courses for each grade level. Below they created two videos on how to log in to learn and how to use a feature called Big Blue Button. This is where all the special area teachers will be putting their lessons and how they will be communicating with families. Each grade level will have a day where they will have a video chat with a special area teacher. Here is the schedule:

Monday: 2nd Grade @ 3:30
Tuesday: K/y5/1st @ 3:30
Wednesday: 5th Grade @ 3:30
Thursday: 4th Grade @ 3:30
Friday: 3rd Grade @ 3:30
