Greetings Henry Ford Families,
We are reaching out to all of you to ask for your assistance with providing a safe environment for members of our Henry Ford School community. Some staff members have serious allergies to fragrances often found in personal care products, perfumes, colognes, lotions, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, scented sanitizer or cleaning products. Contact with these scents, even in small amounts can cause serious and adverse health effects.
As a result, Henry Ford has been designated as a fragrance-free school. As a district, and as a school, we have put in place measures to assist with this situation, and are asking that all the students and staff refrain from wearing scented lotions, colognes, and perfumes, hand sanitizers when in our building. In the event that a student or staff member forgets and wears a scent, they will be asked to wash their hands and call home if a change of clothes is required. The safety and wellbeing of our staff and students is our priority. We sincerely appreciate your efforts to make Henry Ford a designated scent-free school!
Please read the attached chart for examples of items that trigger reactions in our community members with allergies to fragrances. Feel free to contact Mrs. Lamis Srour or Mrs. Mary Timpf if you have questions or would like any additional information about fragrance allergies.
With respect,
Lamis Srour Mary Timpf

Good Afternoon Henry Ford Families!
Thank you all for your patience and support as we roll out the new learning lab and hybrid schedule. This week we will continue with the in-person learning labs. I hope more students will be able to join our learning labs this week. I really enjoyed seeing the students last week.
Please talk with your child about staying focused and Zoom live lessons. Participation is a key to success. I have also noticed students leaving 5 to 10 minutes early at the end of the day. This is not acceptable and students should be online the entire time.
Reminders for the Week:
I want all students to succeed!
Henry Ford is a Green School, which means we are recognized for putting the environment first. Check out these videos and activities for our students to do at home to learn about protecting our environment.

Greetings Henry Ford Families,
During this difficult time, we hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy. We are thankful to have one another to get through these challenging times. We hope you had a great Thanksgiving Break. See you online on Monday, November 30th.
A Few Reminders:
Materials pick: Please consider picking up your child’s materials from the school office between 9:00- 3:00. It is very important to pick up the materials as soon as possible.
Learning Labs: Please ask your child to join our small group meetings.
Thank you!
Happy Monday!
We have officially completed our first week of virtual learning and I’ve learned so much in the process. I am so proud of the students and how well they are adapting to this. And, thank you parents for being their support and cheering us all on.
In reflecting on this past week, I just wanted to update you with some information that I think are helpful to everyone.
Monday: Art
Tuesday: Gym
Wednesday: Music
Thursday: STEAM
Friday: Media
Supplies: All students are expected to have the following supplies with them: Headphones, whiteboard/marker, notebook/pencil, books for independent reading, and Eureka Math books.
Student Expectations:
We have been reviewing expectations everyday. Here are some that students are need to continue working on.
1. Stay on mute. Raise your hand if you’d like to share.
2. Only respond appropriately in the chat room.
3. Have your supplies first thing in the morning.
4. Use the restroom in the morning before class and during breaks, if possible.
5. Stay in front of the camera. Do not place items in front of the camera.
6. Find a comfortable place to work and stay there. Do not walk around with your device.
7. Work on Schoology assignments and specials after they log off of Zoom at 1:00. Assignments will be due on the next day.
Important Information:
1. Please help your child find an appropriate place to work. Laying in bed is not conducive to a good learning environment.
2. Please make sure students are logging in at 8:55. In the morning we will be doing morning work, or listening to calming music and I will be sharing my screen. Being on time, will avoid distractions and getting off task.
3. Please make sure students are working in on their homework during the 1:00 – 3:50. Once they are off Zoom at 1:00 they are not done with school. They still have 3 hours to complete independent work that is assigned to them.
I know that this is a lot of information and I appreciate you reading through all of this. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. We are all learning what is best for the kiddos and I truly appreciate all your support and patience.
