Lindbergh News-
Dear Parents,
I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. Today we completed the first week of our new Continuity plan guidelines and I am seeking your feedback. Below is a short survey to help us better understand the needs of the community as a whole. The collected results will allow us to make some well-informed decisions moving forward. It is anonymous and greatly appreciated.

Stay well and take care

DuVall Chromebook Distribution planned for Monday, April 27th
Please fill out this form if you would like to reserve a Chromebook on loan for your child. To take the DuVall Chromebook survey, please click here. Please complete this survey by 5:00 PM on Friday, April 24th as this will provide our staff with enough time to prepare the necessary number of Chromebooks based on the anticipated number of requests. The survey above must be filled out in order to make a reservation for a Chromebook on loan – we will not be able to distribute additional on-the spot requests as it takes time to prepare each of the Chromebooks.
Chromebooks must be returned to the school on the first day Dearborn Public Schools reopen after this mandatory shutdown. Students must follow Dearborn Public Schools Acceptable Use policy and guidelines. The family borrowing the Chromebook agrees to understand that they are responsible for any damage to the Chromebook. The Chromebooks on loan are for current DuVall students only. :
Parents will drive up to the bus lane on Francis Street near the preschool door (door 4) on Monday, April 27th. Parent/ Guardians must have a Driver’s ID. A DuVall staff member will bring the parent our Chromebook Loan agreement to the car along with the Chromebook, have the parent sign it, and then collect the signed agreements as a record of our Chromebooks that have been distributed. Please follow the schedule of distribution for classes below so that we can have an orderly distribution of the Chromebooks on loan – there is a limit of one Chromebook on loan per family.

DuVall Continuity of Learning Plan
DuVall Community,
The staff and I miss you all and hope that you and your families are doing well, staying healthy, and staying safe. As our journey with remote learning continues, our district has created a continuity of learning plan that enhances the remote learning curriculum that is being delivered at DuVall Elementary. Starting April 20th, some updates will be taking place. Classroom teachers will continue checking in with their classes using Google Hangouts or Class Dojo and there will be at least 2 live or recorded lessons that will be scheduled during the week. Classroom teachers and Extended Core teachers will be posting office hours on their blog to support families with questions or who need support with the curriculum. Also, a new grading system will be implemented for the 4th marking period in order to provide feedback for the learning that is taking place. In the updated grading system, the following marks will be used:
Meeting (M): A student has high participation levels in remote learning, is routinely submitting assignments and completing learning tasks, and is regularly attending check in/ remote learning sessions.
Progressing (P): A student is submitting most of his or her assignments and attending some of the check ins.
Limited Participation (LP): A student is rarely or not submitting work, rarely or not attending check-in/ remote learning sessions, or has experienced hardship during the time of instruction. Support to assist students who are showing limited participation in remote learning will be offered.
Click Here to see a video clip that helps to explain some of the changes in the 4th marking period.
Extended core classes (Art, Music, Physical Education, and Technology) will now be using the updated grading system for the 4th marking period report cards. Please check the extended core class blogs for more information regarding learning activities:

Hello again! I hope everyone had a great spring break. I hope you are all feeling well and are staying home and staying safe.
This week we are going to use a website called Storyline Online, it is a great STEAM resource for parents and children. There is no login and the story is read to the students. Storyline Online has an activity guide section for teachers and parents with many STEAM activities relating to the story. I have included the parent activity guide which students can discuss questions and STEAM ideas relating to the book. The book this week, The Case of the Missing Carrot, is another good book with wonderful activities. Check out the Science and Art in the parent activity guide below.

Lindbergh Science Enrichment
Brooke Brown has created a free pack of 15 Maker Stations for three weeks of at-home learning. Each Maker Station includes simple challenges using items around the home, scannable QR code resources, and a student recording sheet. Enjoy the activities! You can do them all but please complete at least 3 total over the next month. Bring the student reflection and recording sheets (the page with the blueprint) to school when we get back so I can see what you did.
