Let’s try Google Hangout and video chat. I will send you an email tomorrow to your Dearborn Schools email address. For this to work, you must be on Chrome, not Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer. I will set up a Google Hangout meeting for 11:00-11:40.

Here are the instructions:

When joining a Google Hangouts video chat meeting from a
Chromebook or computer, your child must first be logged in to their Dearborn Public School District email. After they have logged in to their email, you will open a new tab or window to get to GoogleHangouts.

The specific directions are below:
STUDENT DIRECTIONS FOR ACCESSING EMAIL:

• Go to www.dearbornschools.org homepage.
  *Use Google Chrome. NOT Safari, Firefox, & Internet Explorer will not work for Google Hangouts.
• Click on Student Portal.
• Under “Useful links,” click on Student District Email/Google Login.
• Enter your child’s email username and password. (This is the same information they use to log on to their Chromebooks at school, most students have these numbers memorized.) Email or send a message on remind to your child’s teacher if you need this information.

  appropriately!
