A message to our Families.

Ways to stay connected with your child’s academics

1. Parent Connect: Checking this at least once a week because apon doing this you can discover so many important things

2. Student Connect: Letting your child know that you expect them to check their Student Connect on a DAILY basis. This is a great way for them to learn how to communicate early with teacher if they are failing a class.

3. Check the school blog for updates and happenings

4. Commnicate with teacher via emails or letters for any concerns EARLY on.

The Power of Communication

Dear Families, please help me to make sure we let the students know how important it is to communicate with the teachers. Commnication can be about grades, student connect, extra credit opportunities, missing assignments, behavior, needing help or anthing like this. Remind your child to take ownership of their education by doing things as mentioned and going on Student Connect as often as possible.

A message from the DEARBORN PUBLIC LIBRARY

Good morning Families – I just wanted to alert you to a new library policy recently approved by the Dearborn Public Library

All students of middle school or high school age must produce a student ID upon request. The purpose is to provide identification for both the safety of the students and as an avenue toward accountability for behavior.

In December, however, we will require students to have identification. Library staff will not be able to ask all students, but will do random checks and those students who are asked for their I.D. and do not have it, will be asked to leave the library until they bring their I.D. with them. In addition, during the finals study time, we will follow the same rules as we did in June. Students must be accompanied by parent or guardian. More information will be forthcoming later this year.

Thank you for your assistance.
