Virtual Learning

Hello Salina students and parents! I hope everyone had a great weekend.

First, I hope you are all well and safe. I am still in disbelief and very sad to know that we will not be returning to school this year.  I am also sad that many of the things we were looking forward to doing have been cancelled. I truly love and miss each and every one of my students very much.

Please understand that even though we will not be attending school, we will continue learning. Weekly assignments are on Google classroom. I will send any necessary reminders on Class Dojo. I will also continue to hold weekly Google Hangouts. Dates, time and link will be sent to Class Dojo as well as Google Classroom.

I’m here to make sure your child recieves the best 5th grade education. Please reach out if you have an concerns or questions. You can contact me on Class Dojo or through my e-mail: muslehs@dearbornschools.org.

Take care, stay safe.
