School ReOpen Committee Parent Survey #1 https://forms.gle/DNx3eN8hcRpXsfSs5

I just wanted to post here to make sure that all parents and students are aware that I am updating google classroom on a regular basis. All students have been set up in their appropriate google classroom – WE USED IT OFTEN BEFORE WE SHUT DOWN. If you would like me to add you, as a parent, to the classroom your child is in – please email me at olsona@dearbornschools.org and I will send you an invitation.

I am posting work for students to do – but not only that.. I am also posting resources for them, enrichment, things that may not be social studies but might be fun for them to do! We are also having conversations and checking in with each other.

Please make sure you and your child are actively keeping an eye on their Google Classroom. I know things are crazy right now, but if we work together we can keep your child engaged during these difficult times.

As always, I am here for you if you have any questions or concerns. Please reach out to me whenever you need to and I will help you as best I can.

Regards,

Ms. Olson

Today an email reminder was sent out to all parents and students with email contact information on file with the school. It asked that parents remind their children to please keep an eye on google classroom for Ms. Olson. I am posting regularly with updates, information, resources and enrichment. I have also hosted several online virtual meetings with students via Google Meets.

If you have questions about anything, please email me at olsona@dearbornschools.org and I will be happy to assist you or your child.

Thank you! ~Ms. Olson

Please make sure you are part of your class on Google Classroom. I added some of you manually so just go to the Classroom homepage and click JOIN if you haven’t already.

Email me with questions at olsona@dearbornschools.org

If your child does not have access to technology for learning while we are off, please let myself or someone at the school know as soon as possible so we can try to help them obtain technology!

All Social Studies students of mine should plan to receive any assignments and communication through Google Classroom. I will be going through the rosters just to make sure that all students are added to the class that they are in. Please check Google Classroom for updates!

Dearborn Public School parents can now report their child’s absences and check student grades,
attendance and more from the convenience of their phone or tablet.
Parents can download the Q Parent Connection app via Google Play or iTunes and set it up with
the same ID number and password they use for Parent Connection online. Q Parent Connection, via
computer or the app, allows parents and guardians to check their child’s attendance and grades as that
information is entered at the school. Adults can also look at their child’s food service balances, if
children opt to buy items instead of or in addition to the free lunch and breakfast.
New with the app is the option for a parent to report a child absent without calling the school
office.
“We know that increasingly parents are using phones, instead of computers, to do everyday
functions from checking the weather to managing their finances,” said Troy Patterson, Dearborn Public
Schools director of technology and media services. “This app allows them to use their phone to do the
important job of staying in touch with their child’s school, from making sure homework is turned in to
reporting absences.”
Students can also access information such as grades and attendance through the Q Student
Connection app, which provides the same information as their online Q Student Connection account.
Students cannot report their own absences.
The District website has the technical details for setting up Q Parent Connection. If a parent or
guardian needs a Parent Connection login, they should call the District at (313) 827-3030.
