Welcome 4th Graders

Welcome to a new year at Maples Elementary

I am so pleased and honored to be your child’s 4th Grade teacher! I am truly looking forward to working with and getting to know each one of my students and their families this year. I pledge to do my best to make learning interesting, meaningful, and fun!

We will begin the year online using Schoology. More information will be given at your scheduled orientation. Unfortunately, this year will be different due to the pandemic. You can rest assured we will take it one day at a time. The health and safety of everyone is what matters. We will get through it together.

Students will be notified in advance of homework, lessons, assessments, and other aspects of our class. Any and all announcements will be posted weekly on my blog, and dojo until Schoology is fully implemented.

I can promise that I will work hard to provide the best instruction possible for all my students. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, I can be reached at poulose@dearbornschools.org I look forward to working with all of you!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Poulos
