Friday, March 20, 2020– TGIF!!

SPECIAL ADDITION!! ROAR Announcements for today!!

 Please watch with your family and make sure to stand up TALL for the Pledge of Allegiance and our Oakman Pledge!!

We have made it to week 1 and we are so happy and proud how families have come together to help and support each other.  Now more than ever teachers, parents, and our Oakman family must work together to support each other in so many ways. We hope that the lessons, activities, and resources we are providing are allowing for some structure and routine to your households.  Structure and routine help provide a safe feeling for young children. Here are some stories to help answer some questions that your young child might have about everything going on. Parents if you need more support, please contact District Public Hotline for questions and support from 9 a.m. -4 pm (Monday to Friday) is  313-827-3006 or email is communications@dearbornschools.org
